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: How much does it cost to hang Christmas lights on a metal roof?

• <div><p>If you hire a pro, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-christmas-light-installation-cost.htm">cost to hang Christmas lights</a> is typically somewhere between $1.25 and $3 per square foot, excluding the cost of the lights. Homeowners spend an average of $420 per job, but some jobs can cost more than $1,000 if they&rsquo;re extensive.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a special extension cord for outdoor Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Yes, you should purchase and use an extension cord rated for outdoor use to power Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use do not have the same protective properties as outdoor versions, so they can&rsquo;t withstand the exposure to the outdoor elements. Be sure to plug your Christmas lights into outdoor extension cords only.</p></div>

This company is fantastic and the experience was great. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and handled our plumbing situation in very bad weather conditions and on a holiday at the last minute. I recommend this company to everyone and already have them scheduled for additional work.

Our dog was happy and clean when we picked her up! The pick up times were limited due to it being over a holiday and a weekend...so we ended up paying for 2 extra days and really just wanted to get our dog home! Overall, it was a great experience and we would use them again.
