"The results are fabulous and I highly recommend this company. They were punctual every day, and most importantly were neat, careful and polite and courteous. They used quality paint - Benjamin Moore Regal Select - and fixed minor wall cracks at no additional charge. They lightly sanded all walls and prepped and taped them to ensure exacting coverage. The job was completed on time for the exact amount contracted, even though some additional paint was necessary. The end result is just terrific and I definitely recommend them and would hire them again if needed."

"They were great. I hired them for a small job, installing a ceiling fan and moving some ceiling fixtures around. They were reasonably priced, courteous, neat and prompt. If the price is right I will definitely be using them again for bigger projects I have planned."

"We couldn’t have been more pleased with the tree removal work that was done. Four trees in total, each with their own unique challenges. Molina's Landscaping & Tree Service handled each one with precision and did an incredible job. They were very careful to avoid impacting our newly paved driveway – and they dropped one tree between an open gate which was pure perfection. We look forward to working with them again as other needs immerge."

"Our experience working with Paint Life was above and beyond our expectations. From the initial meeting, we knew we were dealing with professionals who really cared and wanted to be fair. The pricing was transparent through the use of the client portal and we did not feel like there was anything being hidden from us. Rich and Don helped us choose the right product and were there every step of the way to make sure we were 100% satisfied. Seeing the team at work was very impressive. Our entire house was covered and properly cared for while they worked, everyone was very nice and polite. They even went the extra mile and returned after the job was completed to walk through and inspect and touch up where needed. Our home looks beautiful. Thank you Paint Life. We will refer you to our friends and will have you back in the spring to help with the next phase of our remodel."

Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, outdoor lights and receptacles should be on a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for safety. The outdoors is considered a wet location where GFCI protection is generally required. A GFCI enhances safety by automatically tripping and shutting off the circuit if it detects an imbalance, which protects against electrocution and reduces the risk of an electrical fire. While it is the safest approach for all outdoor electrical components, specific requirements can vary depending on the type of light (e.g., pool lights), its location, and local electrical codes. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, it's best to consult a professional electrician.

Testing tools, such as Christmas light testers, non-contact proximity electrical testers, and multimeters, all simplify the process of testing Christmas lights. However, without one or more of those tools, testing Christmas lights the old-fashioned way only works sometimes. Without testing tools, the simplest testing method is visual inspection, which may or may not yield positive results.

While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. 

Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.

While most general electricians can repair lamps and light fixtures, it is often better to hire a lamp repair specialist. Many electricians prefer larger jobs, such as fixing electrical systems or relocating fixtures, and may not offer lamp repair services due to the small scale of the work. Additionally, some lamps, particularly antique models, require dedicated expertise that a general electrician might not have. A lamp repair specialist will be familiar with various types of fixtures and can provide a more dedicated service. If you have already hired an electrician for a larger project, you can ask them to look at your lamp, but for a standalone repair, a specialist is typically the best option.

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—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring.
