"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."

"This was a job that was initially expected to take a few days, that dragged on for months. I have to say, he didn't charge me any extra for the longer amount of time, but I have since heard from another contractor he would have done the job for half the price. John was upfront about price, and that goes a long way in my book. I would use John again, and would recommend him, but I would get more quotes before beginning such a large job, and get a firmer time table."

Holiday Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to have a professional install Christmas lights on a roof is about $420, with most homeowners spending between $220 and $650. Some companies may charge between $1.25 and $3 per square foot, excluding the cost of the lights. For extensive or complex jobs, the cost can exceed $1,000. While doing it yourself can save money, it is only recommended if you are comfortable working at heights.

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.

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

Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create ice dams, which can damage rooftops. But if you’re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you’ve placed on your roof.

You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it’s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable.

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.
