"Initially great to work with. We needed exterior painted/stained. Hired to start July 2016. Two sides of house in great shape to paint. Another side needed boards replaced. Front needed some caulking and a few boards replaced. Mark thought front would be okay after pressure wash. But boards were still bowed and popped. They did not fix or replace. And several other things were addressed. Another board should have been replaced or caulked the holes in it. It is peeling...They did not finish job completely. He agreed to come back here this spring because of conflicts last fall and mentioned personal or personnel issues. The carpenter may not have been still available . Have tried contacting them in April and now May 2017. We have left about five messages but no response. Am disappointed that even a courtesy response to our messages have not been made. Would appreciate a callback."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. 

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. 

Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.

One of the easiest ways to save money when hiring a holiday decorator is to provide storage for your decorations. If you have the space, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by avoiding storage costs through your professional. It’s also a good idea to provide as much direction as possible for your professional, as this can cut down on design services. Finally, you can pay for your decorator to take down your decorations at the end of the season, but packaging and storing them yourself will save money on labor.

Hiring a professional for holiday decorating, especially for hanging lights, is often well worth the investment for several reasons. A key benefit is safety; if you are physically unable to hang lights due to injury, or if your home has multiple stories or other high places that pose a safety hazard, a professional can handle the job securely. They also have the expertise to assess your electrical system to ensure it can handle the load. Hiring a pro is also a great option for homeowners who lack the time or capability to decorate. Professionals can create a stylish, chic, and upscale look that will wow your guests, and they may even save you money on decor. Finally, many holiday lighting experts include maintenance and repairs as part of their rates, ensuring your display looks great throughout the season without any extra effort on your part.
