Follow These Holiday Decorating Safety Tips

With summer in the past and cool weather moving into the area, it won’t be long before you set your sights on the holiday season.

For many people, this time of the year means one thing: decorating every last square inch of their home (inside and out).

While this can be a lot of fun, there’s always potential for trouble. With this in mind, here are five holiday decorating safety tips to guide you:

·      Be careful when using a ladder. For example, you may need a ladder to hang lights on your home. While there’s nothing wrong with this, it’s a must to follow proper safety procedures at all times.

·      Watch for electrical hazards. You don’t want to plug too many decorations into the same outlet. You don’t want to use extension cords that are frayed. These hazards can cause electrocution and fire, so don’t take a risk.

·      Get help when you need it. Even if you enjoy everything about decorating your home, there’s nothing wrong with getting help every now and again. In fact, it’s a great way to spend time with your loved ones.

·      Double-check your lights throughout the holiday season. Once your decorations are in place it’s easy to believe you can leave them be until the holiday season is over. Don’t make this mistake, as things can happen that increase the risk of an accident.

·      Give yourself plenty of time. For instance, don’t start decorating on Christmas Eve if you know you’ll be in a hurry. When you rush you’re more likely to make a mistake.

Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work.

Nancy P.

Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!

Laura M.

Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!

Scott C.

Great communication, very professional repair crew. We have a new construction house that had some issues with vent seals after 10yrs and Pond fixed 8 different areas in one day--very happy with the work.

Ryan H.

I recently hired Pond Roofing to check out a leak. They did a great job coming in on time and to troubleshoot the issue. Their pricing was competitive and overall service was excellent. I’m very happy with their work.

Hassan W.

Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough.

Erin M.

Quality and Integrity. Terrific job on a roof repair. Called for a minor fix which was expertly accomplished. Patrick performed a complete inspection, ensuring no other damage or work needed. Perfect!
