Q: Can I put up outdoor Christmas lights myself?

• <div><p>To get in the festive mood, you might turn to hanging holiday lights yourself. In many circumstances, DIY Christmas light installation can be cost-effective, not to mention fun. However, it&rsquo;s best to consider any limitations to this task and how that might affect your overall project, like tall roofs. Consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-hang-christmas-lights.htm">hiring a Christmas light installer</a> to place lights or decorations in hard-to-reach areas like roof peaks to avoid the risk of injury. </p></div>

Q: How can I prevent Christmas lights from becoming damaged?

• <div><p>You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar&mdash;winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell which Christmas light is burned without a tester?

• <div><p>If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.</p></div>

Q: When should I consider installing my own holiday decorations?

• <div><p>If you only need strands in safe and easy-to-reach locations and are sure of your electrical system, you can probably purchase and install lights yourself. To do this, carefully test your outlets to ensure there aren&rsquo;t any sparks or other concerning issues. Your budget might also influence this decision, as going the DIY route can be significantly cheaper.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money when hiring a holiday decorator?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

We had a short circuit in the outdoor wiring. Our neighbor recommended Autuori, and they came out the next day. Anthony and his son John figured it out and got us back in business just before the Thanksgiving holiday, which was great.

My daughter had a clock that she kept on her dinning room wall and it was a decorative but working clock. It wasn't working and Morton's Jewelers had an advertisement and she brought it in to him. I think he hired another vendor to do the work, but that's where we went and he did a nice job....
