"I had just one block of a fence which was slanted, and the nails had come off, and it had to be repaired. The first time I had an appointment, this company didn't show up at all that day, and called me another day. However, I agreed and they came over. The owner was definitely trying to make a quick buck, and initially quoted $450 for that fence. I told him that is too much. Then he came down to $350, and I eventually ended up paying $300, which he did it JUST because it was me. His 2 men came, and they were done in 10 minutes to take out the old nails and used their pneumatic gun to shoot new nails into the fence. The job itself was well done, and I have no complaints about that. Had I known it was a 10 minute job, I would have bargained more. However, I was left wondering why did he charge me $300 for a job that takes 10 minutes. But where is the ethics?"

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

Yes, energy-efficient options such as LEDs and solar-powered lights are available. These alternatives consume less electricity, resulting in lower utility costs. They are also more environmentally friendly due to their reduced carbon footprint and longer lifespan.

Yes, you can synchronize Christmas lights with music to create a DIY light show. To do this, you will need several components. For hardware, you'll need standard holiday lights, decorations, lawn ornaments, tools, outdoor-rated extension cords, a computer, and a light show control system or digital controller. You will also need specialized software to program the show; popular options include Light-O-Rama (LOR), Vixen, xLights, and Animated Lights. Some, like Vixen and Animated Lights, are considered more beginner-friendly. The process involves using the software to program your lights, choosing an audio method such as speakers or an FM broadcast, and testing the entire system to make sure it's working correctly before the show.

Repairing a strand of Christmas lights will save you a few dollars and the hassle of going to the store to purchase new ones. That may or may not be enough to make fixing them worth it to you. However, if the lights are already hanging or around the tree, removing and replacing them is far more time-consuming than performing a quick repair job. 

The type of lighting you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.

To get in the festive mood, you might turn to hanging holiday lights yourself. In many circumstances, DIY Christmas light installation can be cost-effective, not to mention fun. However, it’s best to consider any limitations to this task and how that might affect your overall project, like tall roofs. Consider hiring a Christmas light installer to place lights or decorations in hard-to-reach areas like roof peaks to avoid the risk of injury.
