Q: How can I hang Christmas lights without damaging my gutters?

• <div><p>Several options for hanging Christmas lights won't damage gutters. Using shingle clips avoids any hardware contact with them, and using plastic gutter clips minimizes the likelihood of scratching gutters. Remember not to rest a ladder, especially a metal one, against the gutters, and use a ladder stand-off device or stabilizer if you need to use an extension ladder. </p></div>

Q: How do professionals put lights on a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Professionals use the same methods found in this guide unless they&rsquo;re decorating a particularly large Christmas tree. In that case, they may also make use of tools like extension poles to get the job done. </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 do you make Christmas lights easy to hang next year?

• <div><p>Take a picture of your house to easily replicate the same design for next year and keep the clips and accessories. When storing your lights, wrap them around cardboard so they don&rsquo;t get tangled. Purchase a ladderless extension pole kit to hang your lights (around <b>$30 to $50</b>) for hard to reach areas.</p></div>

Q: What do Christmas decorators do?

• <div><p>Professional Christmas decorators offer everything from hanging lights in and outside your home to decorating the tree and adding decor around the house. Decorators may focus on porches, foyers, staircases, mantelpieces, and other similar focal areas.</p></div>

I very much enjoyed having Keith install holiday white lights on a large tree in my front yard. He did a fantastic job. He went above and beyond to cut some branches so that the tree and lights would be symmetrical. He is a professional, personable pro! I would hire him again.
