Tall ladders, tangled cords and icy conditions are a bad combination for a DIYer. Here’s why hiring a holiday lighting pro makes sense.
When decking your halls this season, consider hiring a professional holiday light installer to avoid seasonal stress, injury and a bad look. You can learn everything you need to know about a person by the way they handle a string of holiday lights. When confronted with tangled cords, burned-out bulbs and hanging hassles, do they joyfully whistle “Deck the Halls,” or does they get red-faced and start swearing.
According to a recent survey by Angi, 81% of the people who put up holiday lights last year ran into snags such as tangled lights, burned-out bulbs and blown electrical circuits. When I shared this story with Hicks, she assured me that before allowing a business to join Angi’s Certified network, her team performs a criminal background check on company owners and has them attest to having proper licenses.
Avoid risk: “The main reason more homeowners are choosing to hire a pro to put up and take down lights is safety,” Hicks said. Seriously, folks, how are you ever going to make it down the chimney with both your arms in casts?
