Christmas & Holiday Light Installation in Portland, OR
Your lights hung on rooflines, peaks, trees, and entries with clips, put on a timer, and taken down in January — you buy the lights, we install them.
Portland keeps a Christmas Light Installation crew busy for a simple reason: homes here are a deep stock of pre-1940 bungalows, foursquares and Old Portland four-squares, with condos and newer infill closer in, and that variety shows up in the work. The estimate is free, and the quote is fixed before we start.

What Christmas Light Installation involves in Portland, OR
Portland's older houses have the rooflines people want lit — gables, dormers, deep eaves — and the brittle old gutters and shingles that will not take a staple. They also tend to have one outdoor outlet or none out front, so the plan starts with where the power is: cords routed along the trim, one timer per outlet, no run sized to trip the GFCI. Nothing is nailed or stapled to the roof, and whatever goes up comes down in January. That's the pattern from Sellwood out to St. Johns, with the usual Portland exceptions proving the rule.
Install price with your lights — you buy the strands, timers, and cords; clips are itemized; the January takedown is included.

Christmas & Holiday Light Installation in Portland, OR — common questions
- How much does Christmas Light Installation cost in Portland, OR?
- From $750. What moves the price is the linear feet of roofline and how many stories and peaks it has, how many trees and shrubs get wrapped, and how many wreaths, garland runs, and décor pieces go up besides the roofline (the lights are yours to buy; the January takedown is in the install price). Locally the spread comes from the housing: jobs around Hawthorne and Sellwood cover both the easy end and the involved end of that list. The estimate is free and the quote is fixed before we start — send a couple of photos and you get a real number instead of a phone guess.
- Do I need a permit for hanging Christmas lights in Portland, OR?
- No, hanging Christmas lights is not permitted work in Portland, OR — no permit, no inspection, no waiting. Building permits (through the City of Portland's permitting office) only come into it if a job turns structural, and we'd tell you before that happened.
- Which parts of Portland do you cover, and how soon can you come?
- All of Portland, OR — Alberta, Hawthorne, Sellwood, St. Johns and Laurelhurst — plus nearby Beaverton, Hillsboro and Gresham. Scheduling usually lands within the week; send photos of the job and you get a concrete time and price back, not a callback queue.
