Anyone know of any professionals that could put up Christmas lights?

    I attempted putting up Christmas lights this morning but since I don't have any gutters I'm having to jam the holders into the shingles which is taking forever. I had some professional do it 2 years ago but he did a sloppy job. Lights kept falling off and when I called him he was very reluctant to fix it. (Said it was out of his way). After over a week of trying to get him to fix it he finally came and it came undone again after a few days. Anyways, if anyone knows of any reliable professional that would be great. Thanks!

    Also forgot to add, has anyone ever used C6 size light bulbs for the roof? If so, does it look nice? Obviously the C9s would look better but I wanted to see how the C6's look. If it's not recommended I'll probably just return them.

    I used the c6 bulbs. Looks great. I recently switched to all LED and it is hard to find those in 9. I put up 100 feet of bulbs which is 300 lights. I used a clip for each bulb. Looks perfect. I did it while on top of the roof.

    Do you have gutters or did you put the clip under the shingles? I'm having a hard time putting clips under the shingles because some of them are glued so well.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Salvy again.

    was kind of disappointed to see that chevy chase has stooped so low as to make a commercial based on his iconic lighting scene from the national lampoon movie. the commercial sucked, too. dude must be hard up for easy work after leaving that show he was on.

    Do you live in Houston? If so then head to westpark and chimney rock, lots of "professionals aka illegals" to choose from

    Houston's such a depressing town during Christmas compared to other big cities. I always thought Houston was nice with Christmas lights until I went elsewhere.
