You need to contact specialists. Christmas light installation is not that easy. A single bad strand could ruin your home design, and, more importantly, become a safety hazard. Each year, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), "about 11,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms due to Christmas light installation-related injuries," mostly caused by "falls, cuts, shocks and burns."

I found a list of top 8 Christmas Light Installation Companies in Wichita Falls, TX:

Contact them and discuss the cost of the help you need.

In the process of Christmas light restring, make sure to replace cracked or burned out bulbs, bad sockets, fuses and wires. If you replace any bulbs, make sure your lighting fixture can handle the wattage. Most lighting fixtures will indicate the highest wattage bulb they can safely accommodate. Bulbs above the recommended wattage, along with loose connections and bad wiring are recipes for overheating and electrical fires.
Make sure that outdoor Christmas lights, along with extension cords, timers, and power strips can handle "the great outdoors". Because water and electricity make for a dangerous combination, please make sure all lighting equipment is UL outdoor rated before installation.
