Q: Is it safe to staple Christmas lights to your roof?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s a somewhat common method for hanging Christmas lights, using a staple gun is not safe for your roof. Poking any kind of hole can potentially damage your roof and expose it to the elements, whether it&rsquo;s from nails or a staple gun. Shingle tabs are the best way to hang lights on your roof without the damage.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hang Christmas lights on a metal roof?

• <div><p>If you hire a pro, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-christmas-light-installation-cost.htm">cost to hang Christmas lights</a> is typically somewhere between $1.25 and $3 per square foot, excluding the cost of the lights. Homeowners spend an average of $420 per job, but some jobs can cost more than $1,000 if they&rsquo;re extensive.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to hang Christmas lights from gutters?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Does light installation include taking down Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Most contractors will include removal of your lights in the price of installation, but it&rsquo;s always a good idea to double check. Storage of the lights is often also part of the package when you hire an installation professional, since you might choose to use the same lights for several years.</p></div>

Job well done. Walkways were cleared after the roof/gutters were cleaned. Worker was 1/2 hr late, which is the reason for the "B" on punctuality. We were happy to get an appointment during the holidays, since there was someone available when they were on college break.
