What type of Christmas lights will my professional install?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-christmas-lights.htm">types of Christmas lights</a> to choose from when working with a light installer. The main types available for outdoor lighting are dome, LED, incandescent, and C9, and your lighting professional’s choice will depend on the location and overall design. </p><p>C9 lighting is typically the most expensive option, ranging from <b>$15 to $70 per 25-foot strand</b>. These usually have fewer bulbs per strand, so you might need more than expected to cover a large area. Dome lighting is usually the most cost-effective option, ranging from <b>$6 to $15</b> <b>per 25-foot strand</b>. These bulbs are smaller and rounder than other options, creating a softer look. </p></div>

Q: How much do outdoor holiday lights cost?

• <div><p>Outdoor Christmas lights cost between $80 to $300 on average without installation. This comes out to about $4 to $50 per strand. You can get a box of outdoor Christmas lights for as little as $20, if you just want to decorate a small area, like a doorway. If you want to go all out and cover your entire home, you'll need between 10 to 20 strands of 100 to 200 bulbs each.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install permanent Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Permanent lights can save you big in labor costs down the line, as you&rsquo;ll only need to invest in installing them once. As with regular lights, costs vary based on the display and the size of your home. Costs are similar to hanging regular lights, typically falling between <b>$220 and $650</b>. </p></div>

Q: Do Christmas light shingle clips work if I get snow and ice?

• <div><p>Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-ice-dam-removal-company.htm">ice dams</a>, which can damage rooftops. But if you&rsquo;re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you&rsquo;ve placed on your roof.</p><p>You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it&rsquo;s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable. </p></div>

Q: How can you hang Christmas lights outside without nails?

• <div><p>To hang <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hang-christmas-lights-without-nails.htm">Christmas lights outside without nails</a>, consider using alternatives like adhesive hooks, gutter clips, or even hot glue. These options allow you to secure lights to various surfaces without causing damage to your roof or siding. Be sure to clean and prepare the surface before applying these alternatives for better adhesion.</p></div>

Very prompt addressing tree down over driveway in early morning emergency on a holiday. This is a huge win! Let's be honest, service in Charlottesville is not great. MC landscaping is stepping it up. Highly recommend but get in line behind my additional work needs.
