The holiday season is here, and people are excited to get festive for the holidays. One classic way to show the holiday spirit is to hang lights on your roof. While we are all eager to put our lights up, there are some precautions to take and things to consider if you want to have the best-lit house on the block. 

Fortunately, by following a few simple rules you can decorate your home and hang lights on your roof while remaining safe and preventing damage to your roof. Things to consider when hanging lights is practicing safety, using plastic clips, and walking on your roof with care. In this article, we will investigate these measures so you can have a very merry holiday season.

Practice Safety

With any project, you always want to put safety first. That’s why it should be daytime so you can see clearly and navigate correctly. It’s also advised to have at least one other person assisting you so they can immediately assist in the case of an emergency. Having a plan before going into it will also help you successfully complete the task.

Use Plastic Clips

Using nails or staples on your roofing material is a surefire way to damage your roof. If your roofing material gets punctured, water can get into your home. That’s why plastic clips are the way to go. They are designed to hang on your gutter, so they won’t end up damaging your roof. They also make it much easier to take down after the holiday season is over.

Walk With Care

The primary goal is to reduce and minimize the amount of damage to your roof. It is unsafe for people who aren’t trained how to do it properly and you can unknowingly cause minor fractures to the roof, causing greater damage in the long run. If you must walk on the roof, be sure to do it during the daytime for full visibility and walk delicately across your roof.

Be Aware Of Your Surroundings

Be sure to focus on what you’re doing when hanging your lights. It is essential for your safety and correct placement of the lights to be focused and alert. That is especially true if you intend on stepping foot on the roof. You do not want to unintentionally cause damages; scanning for loose shingles or cracked tiles is important for your safety and the health of the roof. Always take caution.

Pack Up With Care

Remember to take down your holiday lights with care when the holiday season is over. Make sure to maintain the same safety precautions as you do when putting them up. Have at least one other person around and make sure you do not leave and cords or excess material on the roof.
