"From a craftsmanship standpoint, Jonathan did an outstanding job. The quote we received for the work was fair, and the project was completed to our satisfaction. Jonathan was easy to get along with and kept us updated with progress and changes as they happened. There were materials, tools, and supplies that he didn't have, that he either had to stop and get, or borrow from us, in order to complete the job. This contributed to the project taking three days to complete, rather than two. And at the end of the project, there was still cleanup that we needed to remind him to do before leaving. We would recommend Jonathan for this kind of work, and would call him again if we have similar projects in the future."

"When we came close to the completion of our new build I remember feeling daunted at the thought of furniture placement especially with our front entrance, dinning room and family room as they were all connected with no division, very open concept. After moving in, we were overwhelmed with where to start. We contacted Valerie to assist us in making our house a home. Valerie has an eye for detail and a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. She created design boards that reflected a blend of mine and my husband's styles. She really listens to her clients’ needs and preferences. We worked with her to pick out pieces that fit our space and budget. She will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, and she is always available to answer questions and address any concerns. It was a pleasure working with Valerie and her company, Brexton Cole Interiors. She is committed to quality and customer service. We highly recommend Valerie!"

"Pablo and his team does excellent work. For this project they removed copious leaves from my property, including roofs, decks, sidewalks, driveway, and street. They then did an amazing job of cleaning the decks. They are on time and professional."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

Professionals use the same methods found in this guide unless they’re decorating a particularly large Christmas tree. In that case, they may also make use of tools like extension poles to get the job done. 

First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.

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.

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.

An affordable Christmas light bulb testing and replacement tool can make the job easier. But you can most likely make all necessary repairs yourself using common toolbox items if you’d rather avoid purchasing another gadget.
