Why is half my strand of Christmas lights out?

• <div><p>It can be frustrating to see one half of your lights working while the other half is dark. Long strands of Christmas lights often contain more than one circuit. If half of your strand won’t light up, there’s likely a burned-out or loose bulb on that circuit in the strand. Check the strand and replace any loose or damaged bulbs. </p></div>

Q: Do Christmas light shingle clips work if I get snow and ice?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-ice-dam-removal-company.htm">ice dams</a>, which can damage rooftops. But if you&rsquo;re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you&rsquo;ve placed on your roof.</p><p>You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Can I install holiday lights myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures safety and a polished appearance, especially for large or high displays.</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 maintenance is required for holiday lights?

• <div><p>Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.</p></div>

We had SouthPoint out for an evaluation of the roof after a home inspector had found a "small leak" in the roof. Seems SouthPoint misjudged by just "a hair." After a general contractor pointed out what they had missed it was obvious the gentleman from SouthPoint knew little about roofing. This...

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.
