Trick or Treat? General Contractor in Methuen, MA Gives Advice for Halloween
Hire a General Contractor in Methuen, MA to Install Proper Lighting for your Front and Back Yard!
With Halloween approaching fast, it goes without saying there are many preparations to be completed around the house, which may include props, decorations, and lights to help make your house look extra spooky. However, having a trick-or-treater falling and injuring themselves on your property due to poor lighting is no joke. Here are some tips on how to have good lighting so no one ends in a bloody mess.1) Where is the candy?
First
off, we all love a good fright at Skillville, but we would hate seeing
anyone getting hurt. It's never a fun trip and recovery takes forever.
Instead, we would love to see the smiling faces of trick-or-treaters
both young and young-at-heart. With that being said, where do you plan
to have your candy? Is it sitting outside unattended, or do you plan on
answering the door every time it rings? If you're answering the door,
be sure to have plenty of light inside your house so the children can
see you. If you are missing an overhead light at your door, you may
need to have your general contractor install one or a few, depending on
your house. We can even install color-changing LED lights so you don't
have to switch out your lightbulbs every season. This will make it very
convenient for normal lighting, to seasonal / holiday lighting. If you
plan on keeping the candy in a bowl outside, be sure that is well lit
too. If you can't light it well, you may need a contractor to install
some yard lights for safety.2) No Trips, No Tricks
After
you know where you're placing your candy bowl, you want to make sure a
pathway is properly illuminated leading up to the candy. You may be
able to pull this off with holiday lights, either bright white.
Nowadays you can get all-orange or all-green lights that can add a
spooky effect. If that isn't how you want to go about it, you can have a
contractor install yard lighting and again have LED color changing type
of lighting which would make the holidays easier to set up. As long as a
pathway to the candy is well lit and there are no obstructions, you
should help prevent anyone from falling.
3) All Treats
This
may or may not be of a concern, but is your driveway "handicap
accessible?" Is your driveway flat, or does it have a lot of potholes?
Will it make it challenging to get to the candy? Do you want a new
pathway made out of pavers? Now is a great time to get all of these
changes underway.
