Q: Can installers remove the lights after the season?

• <div>Yes, many services include removal as part of the package. Confirm with your provider.</div>

Q: How do you make a prelit Christmas tree light blink?

• <div>If you take home a pre-lit Christmas tree but want to spruce it up with blinking lights, don&rsquo;t worry, there&rsquo;s a simple solution. You can easily replace the light bulbs on the pre-lit tree with flashing bulbs. For a more subtle look, only replace some of the bulbs with flashing bulbs.</div>

Q: How many feet of lights do you need to wrap a column?

• <div>For a 7-foot-tall column, choose a light strand that is at least 32 feet long. You&rsquo;ll also need to measure the distance from the column to the closest outlet to get outdoor extension cords that are the right length.</div>

Q: How much does professional Christmas light installation cost?

• <div>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-christmas-light-installation-cost.htm#cost-factors">cost of professional Christmas light installation</a> is $430 on average, but it can range from $100 for basic projectors to $1,200 or more for an extensive holiday light installation. The overall price also depends on the size of your home and any other location where you&rsquo;ll be adding lighting. For instance, a small, one-story home typically costs between $250 and $600 for light installation, but a 4,000-foot multi-story home costs significantly more, ranging from $500 to $1,800. </div>

We wanted the fireplace in time for Christmas - and they pulled through to have it ready for our holidays at the beach. The finish work included not only the fireplace, mantel etc, but also fixing the sheet rock for the vent, and then fixing the baseboard and crown moulding. It looks great.
