Q: Do I need special tools to fix Christmas lights?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;d rather avoid purchasing another gadget. </p></div>

Q: Do you need gutters to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>In the Christmas days of yore, people braved winter weather to staple or tack their Christmas lights onto their rooftops or nearby surfaces like the fascia boards. Problems quickly emerged with that approach. Damage to the roof, even small marks from staples, provides entryways for moisture and similar issues that can hasten roof rot, wear, and associated leaks. Plus, some homes had tough fiber cement boards or other materials where staples and screws didn&rsquo;t work.</p></div>

Q: What bulb makes Christmas lights blink?

• <div><p>A blinking, or twinkle, bulb makes Christmas lights blink. Usually, this type of bulb has a silver or red tip, making it easily distinguishable from other non-blinking bulbs. Most packages of Christmas lights come with additional blinking and non-blinking bulbs. Additional bulbs can be purchased at a hardware store or online retailer.</p></div>

Q: Why do Christmas lights always get tangled?

• <div><p>Christmas light cords are long, thin, and flexible&mdash;which makes them exceptionally prone to tangling. As you try to untangle the very merry mess, the light bulbs and sockets may catch on the cords, making it even harder to pull cords through the knots.</p></div>

Q: Do Christmas lights need to be grounded?

• <div><p>Christmas lights typically do not need to be grounded like electrical circuits in your home do. However, it's crucial to use outdoor outlets equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for added safety. GFCIs can help protect against electrical shocks and are recommended for outdoor electrical connections when using Christmas lights.</p></div>

"Russell and Max arrived on time and went right to work. Started at 8:30 and left at about noon. Due to my request (heavy rain forecast for next few days). They agreed to do the inside windows and the exterior ones next week. They did a very thorough job, were polite, neat (think booties over their shoes) and detail oriented. I highly recommend them and will use them again.
