No matter where you are, the holidays are supposed to be filled with happiness, enjoyment, and fun. Nobody wants to spend this time of the year in the confines of a hospital because of a decorating accident. In the spirit of the holidays, the team at Crown Roofing LTD gives you five tips on how to liven up your residential roof in Surrey with decorations—without sacrificing your safety!

1. Check the label. When you’re shopping for holiday lights, make sure that the lights you’re buying are outdoor decorative lights, which are specially made to withstand harsh weather conditions that indoor decorative lights are not able to take on.

2. Inspect the lights before you buy them. See to it that there are no malfunctioning bulbs. Look at the wattage. Bulbs with high wattage can electrocute you or even start a fire.

3. Make sure that the ladder is standing on solid and level ground. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 6,000 people are rushed to emergency rooms every year because of holiday ladder falls. Use both your hands and feet when you climb the ladder. It is also advisable to have another person hold the ladder at the bottom to keep it in place.

4. Ensure that the lights are securely fastened. Place your lights securely so that they won’t easily be blown off by the slightest wind.

5. Set a timer. Be sure to turn off all your decorative lights before you go to sleep to avoid the risk of fire.

We hope that you enjoy the holidays with peace of mind and a season’s worth of a good night’s sleep.
