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."

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

There is no formal date for Christmas light removal, but January 2 is a standard day to take them down for many homeowners. However, some homeowners’ associations have strict rules around this topic, mandating that residents remove lights no later than two weeks after Christmas. Check with your local association or community for more information.

The cost of professional Christmas light installation is $430 on average, but it can range from $100 for basic projectors to $1,200 or more for an extensive holiday light installation. The overall price also depends on the size of your home and any other location where you’ll be adding lighting. For instance, a small, one-story home typically costs between $250 and $600 for light installation, but a 4,000-foot multi-story home costs significantly more, ranging from $500 to $1,800.

Safe installation involves using appropriate anchors for weight and weather-resistant fixtures, ensuring all connections are secure and safe from water exposure. Removal should be performed carefully, avoiding pulling or yanking on cables to prevent damage to lighting and home exteriors.

Considering the pros and cons of hiring a professional holiday light installer can help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages:

Pros

  • Saves time

  • Reduces stress

  • Produces for custom, high-quality designs

  • Provides better-quality lights

  • Reduces personal safety risks 

  • May Include takedown and storage services

Cons

  • More expensive than DIY light installation

  • Less control over the design

  • High demand for installers

  • Contractors may keep the lights and decorations

You now know you can hang Christmas lights with adhesive hooks, but if you need alternatives, consider pushpins, tacks, staples, and adhesive putty (for small projects). If you have a drop ceiling, look for clips and hooks designed for the metal framing.
