Get matched with top holiday decorators in Oregon, WI

Q: Should you DIY or hire a pro to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You&rsquo;ll need to purchase a ladder (<b>$100 to $300</b>), clips (<b>$10 to $20</b>), hooks (<b>$10 to $15</b>), and lights (<b>$25 to $100 per string</b>).</p><p>Otherwise, you should hire a trusted <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/holiday-decorators/">holiday light installer</a> near you. You&rsquo;ll pay an average price of <b>$200 to $650</b>, but you&rsquo;ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely. </p></div>

Q: How much do replacement Christmas blinker lights cost?

• <div><p>Blinker lights come with a standard box of Christmas lights, so you don&rsquo;t need to pay extra for them unless you&rsquo;ve misplaced the ones from the original box. You can buy replacement Christmas blinker lights for about $8 per box. If you want to plan for future holidays, you can buy a value box of 24 replacement blinker bulbs for about $12. Also called flasher lights, the replacement bulbs often come in packages of six bulbs.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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: Can I use duct tape to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it&rsquo;s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What does it mean if half my string of lights is flashing?

• <div><p>The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that&rsquo;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&rsquo;s touched or moved.</p></div>

"They did a good job but the scheduling was a problem. They were scheduled to come at 1 PM. They arrived at 11 AM. I had to leave for an appointment at 11:30 and they couldn't get the job done before I left. If they didn't do then they would not be able to come back until July. Fortunately I wanted them to clean the windows in the sunroom and we could lock the the rest of the house so they only had access to the sunroom. They were about half way done when I had to leave. When I got back at 1 PM they were done and everything was in good shape.
