He removed enough dirt so that remaining soil sloped away from the house. Sal then put down crushed stone, and compacted the...

The house is very old and there were many layers of paint and a lot of sloppy putty work done by the previous owners. It took a lot of work but the house now looks fantastic. There was a hallway that we really wanted to look nice but there were so many issues and places where the surface...

They dumped toast crumbs from the toaster on the kitchen floor before they cleaned the kitchen. When they...
They did the job good, but I wasn’t there when they did the same. My mother was home and she felt that they looked as if they were beating around the bush. They were there the whole day and by the time they got done, the inspector called the power company and the next day was a holiday. I...

Professional holiday decorating services cost about $1,500 on average, with prices ranging from $300 to $2,500 and more. The total price tag depends on the type and amount of decorating requested, along with additional cost factors like your home’s location, materials, and labor.

Interior holiday design and decoration: $50–$200 per hour
Holiday landscaping: $50–$100 per hour
If you need help with your holiday decorating, the first step is determining your lighting and decor needs to narrow down your pro options. For example, if you want a custom outdoor light display with all of the bells and whistles, you’ll likely need to hire a local holiday light installer who specializes in that service. But if you only need to hang some lights inside in hard-to-reach places, consider hiring a handyperson or an interior decorator instead. It’s best to contact at least three different companies for quotes and to find out what services they offer.
The cost to install holiday lights averages about $425, ranging from $220 to $675, depending on the type of lights and installation location.
