When you decide to decorate the exterior of your home, you first need to decide where you want to hang your lights. Since we all love the holidays its wise to start with a budget. I know we all hate the B word but one of the biggest regrets people have after the holidays is how much money they spent. If this is your first year you may want to start by doing something simple like a rooftop outlined in twinkling lights, then net year add in those Bayfront windows, sidewalks, or trees. One of the best ways to create a budget is to do your research but one final pointer, If you decide you’re going to hire a Katy Christmas light professional you don’t want to skim by getting the cheapest guy in town, the one promising he will charge $99.00 and be back at the first if the year except he must have gotten ran over by a reindeer because he is nowhere to be found and won’t answer his phone and there goes the budget you had planned.
2. Do your research
Chances are if you decorate once you’re going to want to decorate every year so make sure that you choose lights that will last. There are a few places where you can buy commercial grade Christmas lights if you are a do it yourself. One such place is Houston Christmas lights; this Christmas store is online but carries a variety of holiday lights and décor that outshine and outlast retail grade lights.

3. Check Your Existing Lights:
It’s always wise especially with the COVID shortage to get prepared sooner rather than later. Take your existing lights down from the attic, test every cord, and anything that may have been damaged toss it out- its better to be safe then sorry. Once you know what holiday decorations needs to be replaced write out a list of all the holiday décor you will need for you to pull off step one (choose a theme). Make sure to not only include Christmas lights but all the materials your home needs including gutter clips, extension cords, holiday props, wreaths, garland, and a dusk to dawn timer that will automatically turn your lights on and off. Check your list twice so you are not making multiple trips to the store.
A couple of final notes, if you’re a DIY make sure to check the weather, Katy typically has 8 days of rain during the months of November and December, you want to make sure its dry before stepping onto a roof or ladder.
