"I had previously always decorated and hung Christmas lights every year for my mother, but since going to college and then moving to Michigan I obviously am not as easily able to make it back to canton to help out. I have since hired Hicks to do it for me and reluctantly they do a better job than I ever did…. I would absolutely recommend this small business to anyone who is in need of services this holiday season. I have had the pleasure of knowing Ian and his cohorts since high school. Quality people who do quality work, and make it their job to make your home look just as they would want theirs to look during the holidays. I look forward to leaving another review with new pictures after they handle the decorations this year!"

Small jobs welcome

"Actually, this pro found ME!! I had been searching for someone to help me with a board on my deck that needed to be removed and replaced. No luck. It seemed that no one wanted to be bothered with a small job. Then I had a phone call from Vance Thomas who was interested in helping me! We scheduled a time when he could here and check out the project. It turned out that 5 other deck boards also needed to be replaced. He gave me a very fair estimate, got all materials ready and the work was done yesterday! Sometime in August when the weather is dry, the deck will be painted by either me (or Vance if he agrees), and he'll then powerwash the deck and then seal it! I am so grateful to have found this person who takes joy in helping others. I highly recommend him. :)"

Holiday Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

In the Christmas days of yore, people braved winter weather to staple or tack their Christmas lights onto their rooftops or nearby surfaces like the fascia boards. Problems quickly emerged with that approach. Damage to the roof, even small marks from staples, provides entryways for moisture and similar issues that can hasten roof rot, wear, and associated leaks. Plus, some homes had tough fiber cement boards or other materials where staples and screws didn’t work.

Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it’s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn’t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.

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. 

You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack. 

Aside from a professional light installation company, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they’re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.
