"Joseph Polouski was an absolutely fabulous hire for my electrical needs. In examining the outlet that was out, it was determined that we needed an upgrade to our entire electrical system along with installing some new outlets. Joseph was able to come back the very next day and complete all the work needed. He was organized and efficient, and we were only without power for a short period of time. I would definitely recommend Joseph and his company for any electrical needs."

"Though Mr. Mooney is very nice and appeared to care about his workers' performance, I was disappointed in several things. First, a worker installed exterior window sills flat, to which I had to point out to Mr. Mooney. They had to be redone. One sill is crooked and installed poorly. He also failed to show up today, 9/21/13, to complete one more repair. I also informed him that I thought one of his workers took my 100' exterior heavy duty extension cord and he was suppose to return it today if the worker had it. He was a no show. I am very disappointed."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.

Typically, the most expensive type of Christmas tree is either the Douglas fir or the fraser fir. That being said, lots of different factors can affect what you’ll pay for a Christmas tree including supply and demand, size of the tree, and more. Your best bet is to speak with a pro at your local Christmas tree farm to find the best tree for you.

Safe installation involves using appropriate anchors for weight and weather-resistant fixtures, ensuring all connections are secure and safe from water exposure. Removal should be performed carefully, avoiding pulling or yanking on cables to prevent damage to lighting and home exteriors.

Good news, Christmas lovers: you can keep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use LED lights instead of incandescent ones. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient. 

If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around $3,500 but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home.

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit.
