Should you DIY or hire a pro to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder (<b>$100 to $300</b>), clips (<b>$10 to $20</b>), hooks (<b>$10 to $15</b>), and lights (<b>$25 to $100 per string</b>).</p><p>Otherwise, you should hire a trusted <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/holiday-decorators/">holiday light installer</a> near you. You’ll pay an average price of <b>$200 to $650</b>, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely. </p></div>

How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn’t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn’t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it’s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don’t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</p></div>

What’s the safest way to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>There are several ways to hang Christmas lights safely. Here are some key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/christmas-lights-safety-tips.htm">Christmas light safety tips</a> to keep in mind:</p><ul><li><p>Always use Christmas lights and extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.</p></li><li><p>Don’t overload outlets by plugging in too many lights.</p></li><li><p>Opt for LED lights for a safer display that saves on energy costs.</p></li><li><p>Do not use old or broken Christmas lights.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do you make Christmas lights easy to hang next year?

• <div><p>Take a picture of your house to easily replicate the same design for next year and keep the clips and accessories. When storing your lights, wrap them around cardboard so they don&rsquo;t get tangled. Purchase a ladderless extension pole kit to hang your lights (around <b>$30 to $50</b>) for hard to reach areas.</p></div>

I had Mayo Autoworks replace my engine, replace the suspension, and paint my car, while they had their "special" for $3500. After 2 months, which I had no problem with the time as long as the engine ran as expected and the paint job is what you expect for that price. In the end and after three...

I remember that holiday weekend, we hadn't gotten it done yet, and so I had to wait over that weekend. It wasn't really their fault though. It was my home warranty guys. They had ordered the part and when it wasn't available when they went to pick up the part, they had to redo it all.
