A real job from last season: I took down another installer’s Christmas lights in Utah County and found exposed, cut copper wire hidden in the sharpest part of the roof, no tape or protection. Here’s why I never reuse another company’s lights, and what to actually check before trusting yours.
This is what I find in gutters all the time. Packed leaves, seed pods, and grit holding water against your roofline. Left long enough it backs up under the shingles and rots the wood behind your fascia. A clean gutter is cheap. Fascia repair is not. Message me and I’ll get yours cleared before it…
Here’s something most homeowners never think about: your Christmas lights usually don’t die from being used. They die from how they’re stored the other eleven months of the year.

A mistake I see homeowners make constantly: pouring CLR (calcium, lime, and rust remover) straight onto glass and scrubbing. It’s acidic, it strips protective coating, and it can etch your windows for good. Here’s what actually happens and what to do instead.

Honest answer: in three years as the Christmas Peddler, lighting up homes all across Utah County — Salem, Lehi, Saratoga Springs, and beyond — it’s never happened to one patron. Not once. And since every job is a rental with one flat…
