A RUNDOWN OF ALL THE TOOLS USED IN AN INSTALLATION

Our mission here at San Diego Christmas Lights is to spread the holiday spirit, and if you want to hang your own lights, that’s fine with us! We’ve picked up a few lessons over the past few years (and hundreds of houses!), so read on and learn from our trial and error for the Christmas Light hanging gear you need.

All the tips, tricks, and little details to make your house sparkle

Typically, we rely on everything from metal wreath holders to staples, nails and even thumbtacks to affix holiday wreaths to our front doors. Problem is, all of these familiar hanging methods leave marks and scars.
Skip those old methods and try a less damaging tactic — removable plastic hooks. Place an upside-down Command hook on the interior side of your door, loop your wreath’s ribbon or some fishing line around the hook and drape it over the front of the door.
