"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

Decorating a tree yourself will only take between one and two hours, but a professional designer may take more time to create their vision. When hiring a pro, assume the work will take a minimum of three to four hours.

It's safe to hang Christmas lights from gutters with a few considerations. First, when installing the lights, follow safe ladder-use guidelines and avoid getting onto the roof. Second, for best results and the integrity of your lights, use clips to keep the bulbs away from inside the gutters where they could run into trouble with water or ice. 

The average cost to have a professional install Christmas lights on a roof is about $420, with most homeowners spending between $220 and $650. Some companies may charge between $1.25 and $3 per square foot, excluding the cost of the lights. For extensive or complex jobs, the cost can exceed $1,000. While doing it yourself can save money, it is only recommended if you are comfortable working at heights.

Using a staple gun to hang Christmas lights on your roof or shingles is not recommended. Puncturing your roof with staples can cause damage, leading to cracks, leaks, and exposure to the elements. Staples are also less reliable than other methods like roof clips. For a safer alternative that won't damage your roof, use shingle tabs.

Yes, tackling blown fuses and broken light bulbs is definitely safe. Fixing the wiring on a strand of Christmas lights isn’t a good idea, though, because of the danger of shock and fire. However, if you don’t feel comfortable working with any type of electricity, consider hiring a professional Christmas light installer to manage the job safely and efficiently.
