What are the pros and cons of professional holiday light installation?

• <div><p>Considering the pros and cons of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-hang-christmas-lights.htm">hiring a professional holiday light installer</a> can help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages:</p><p><b>Pros</b></p><ul><li><p>Saves time</p></li><li><p>Reduces stress</p></li><li><p>Produces for custom, high-quality designs</p></li><li><p>Provides better-quality lights</p></li><li><p>Reduces personal safety risks </p></li><li><p>May Include takedown and storage services</p></li></ul><p><b>Cons</b></p><ul><li><p>More expensive than DIY light installation</p></li><li><p>Less control over the design</p></li><li><p>High demand for installers</p></li><li><p>Contractors may keep the lights and decorations</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.</p></div>

Q: Can installers remove the lights after the season?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include removal as part of the package. Confirm with your provider.</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: What safety concerns should I keep in mind when considering a holiday lighting project?

• <div><p>Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren&rsquo;t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn&rsquo;t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don&rsquo;t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.</p></div>
