Q: How many feet of lights do you need to wrap a column?

• <div><p>For a 7-foot-tall column, choose a light strand that is at least 32 feet long. You&rsquo;ll also need to measure the distance from the column to the closest outlet to get outdoor extension cords that are the right length.</p></div>

Q: How long do Christmas lights last?

• <div><p>While Christmas lights are a wonderful way to light up your home during the holiday season, they don&rsquo;t have a long lifespan. Most incandescent Christmas light bulbs are designed to last between 1,000 and 1,500 hours&mdash;or about one to three holiday seasons. More durable LED bulbs should last about 10 times as long. </p></div>

Q: How do I keep my icicle lights from tangling in the wind?

• <div><p>No one has figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Tying icicle lights down or adding weights to them can help, but it&rsquo;s a very time-consuming process and far from foolproof. If your winters are too windy, we suggest simply switching away from icicle lights to straight runs of non-dangling lights along the edge of your roof.</p></div>

Q: Do you need gutters to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>In the Christmas days of yore, people braved winter weather to staple or tack their Christmas lights onto their rooftops or nearby surfaces like the fascia boards. Problems quickly emerged with that approach. Damage to the roof, even small marks from staples, provides entryways for moisture and similar issues that can hasten roof rot, wear, and associated leaks. Plus, some homes had tough fiber cement boards or other materials where staples and screws didn&rsquo;t work.</p></div>

Q: Can I leave my Christmas lights up year-round?

• <div><p>Good news, Christmas lovers: you can<b> </b>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/incandescent-vs-led.htm">LED lights instead of incandescent ones</a>. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient. </p><p>If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around <b>$3,500</b> but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home. </p></div>

I would highly recommend Advanced Landscapes. I had a deck built for a hot tub and then added stairs to our back porch and a few other extras. Jake is wonderful to work with and everything looks outstanding. Would highly recommend!

Excellent work on multiple projects. The deck was the biggest job and it turned out great! They also help me to match the existing old siding to do some major repair work on the exterior of my 1950’s home and framed out a screen porch. Highly recommend.

"Things went great. Provider kept in contact with me about appointment, and actually called me to see if it was alright to come early! He did. He was very talkative while he went about the work, and explained everything he was doing and why. He pointed out a few things that were constructed wrong, but not something that needed to be remedied immediately. The crew was very personable and friendly. They were not pushy at all in discussing the roof and a few other things. They just asked that we keep them in mind if we decided to do any other work. I would definitely call them for any future work on roof or siding. Thanks for making us aware of Coombs Roofing and Design.
