We strongly believe in providing our customers with the most value for their money. We work with only the highest quality materials and experienced, professional crews. We have consistently focused on the needs of our customers, providing personalized attention and a stress-free experience. This approach has set us apart and made us one of the leading exterior companies in the U.S.

"I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY & I WILL NEVER REFER THEM TO CLEAN A GUTTER FOR ANYONE. IF YOU DO UTILIZE THEIR SERVICE(S), YOU NEED TO BE HOME WHILE THE SERVICES ARE BEING PERFORMED & YOU NEED TO BE READY & ABLE TO CHECK THE WORK THAT YOU PAID THEM TO PERFORM. YOUR BEST BET IS TO USE A DRONE TO TAKE PICTURES & VIDEO SO YOU DON?T HURT YOURSELDF WHILE INSPECTING THEIR WORK. The 1st time the workers came by to clean the gutters, they were @ our home for 30 minutes. The 2nd time they were there for 32 minutes. Each time the job wasn't completed per the contract. Let's see if they can complete the job on their 3rd visit. Pay the extra money & go with another company."

"The repair was successful and not as bad as I feared. I have called CET several times in recent years through AngiesList to do repairs. The electrician Tim arrived on time and carefully ran a few tests to determine the problem while describing to me what he was doing. It turned out to be a bad wall switch which he replaced with a new switch I had on hand. I will call CET again the next time I have an electrical problem."

"Great workmanship, fair price and after two heavy rains the systems installed are working great to drain standing water away from my back and side yards! Seeding of dug out area grew in nicely as you can't tell any pipes were installed for over 100 feet. Would definitely hire again!"

Pragmatic Staging Solutions couples creativity with bottom-line business acumen. We apply our creative skills to maximize value for our clients while ensuring that our recommendations are cost-effective and designed to meet their objectives. Depending on the type of work, service fees are charged on an hourly basis or on a fixed cost per project. Pragmatic Staging Solutions can do as much or as little of the work that a client chooses. Most of the above services can be provided using one of the following methods depending on how much of the staging work the client wants to perform themselves: "Walk and Talk" Consultation: We tour the home with the client for 1 - 2 hours while the client takes notes on recommendations. Following the consultation, the client may request a bid proposal be prepared for the recommendations that the client would prefer Pragmatic Staging Solutions to perform. Virtual Consultation: This is a less expensive and expeditious service that results in concrete staging recommendations listed room by room for the client within 72 hours. The client simply emails pictures of each room (usually 3 - 4 from each corner of the room) so that we get a good representation of the room and Pragmatic will email back a detailed checklist of recommendations of what updates should be made, what items to remove from a room, furniture placement, accessory placement, etc. Bid Proposal: We briefly tour the home and then develop a bid proposal for Pragmatic Staging Solutions to perform all of the recommended staging services.

"I cannot speak highly enough of Carol and her team! My team has been using her services for over three years now. She is timely, communicative, fairly priced, has a great eye for design, and truly professional. She is a vendor who truly has the client's best interest in mind. I would recommend her to anyone looking for staging or interior design!"

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.

Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it’s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn’t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.

Christmas trees need about 100 lights per foot, so you would need 700 lights for a 7-foot tree. 

Yes, you can hang Christmas lights from the soffit of your roof, but it requires a bit more effort than hanging from the gutters or eaves. You’ll need to add an adhesive hook or tie to the underside of the soffit to keep the lights in place. Consider adding a soffit hook every 12 to 18 inches for best visual results.

No one has figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Tying icicle lights down or adding weights to them can help, but it’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.
