"George and his team are amazing! They took my old, dated patio and walkway with loose steps and used their magic to make it safe and inviting. Not only were they polite they consistently showed up on time, they accommodated our schedule. They finished on time. The finished project turned out better than expected!"

"Molina's came out same day I called for estimate. They gave me a fair price and came within the week to do the job. They were right on time-were very professional and got that tree down quickly. I was amazed at how hard they worked, they knew what they were doing and cleaned up after they were done. They even let me keep the wood, and they stacked it nicely. Can't say enough nice things about them!"

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must use an extension cord specifically rated for outdoor use to power outdoor lights, such as Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use lack the protective properties to withstand exposure to outdoor elements. To safely hang and power lights outside your house or in your yard, always connect them to an outdoor power source using an outdoor-rated extension cord.

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. 

Christmas trees need about 100 lights per foot, so you would need 700 lights for a 7-foot tree. 

The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.

Most contractors will include removal of your lights in the price of installation, but it’s always a good idea to double check. Storage of the lights is often also part of the package when you hire an installation professional, since you might choose to use the same lights for several years.
