"We can’t believe our good fortune getting connected with Jeff. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and extremely competent with excellent work ethic and results for every possible handyman job. Electrical, woodworking, general construction, absolutely everything done perfectly and beyond reproach. We will hire him for every possible job we need done in the future He helped remodel a Mountain cabin for us. He did all of the jobs preparing our Portland home for sale which sold cash to the first person that came in the door largely due to Jeff’s work. I could have hundreds of pictures, but we’ll just include the dock that he built for us in a mountain lake east of Pendleton, Oregon.."

"Our old sprinkler system had sprung several leaks and needed to be replaced. I called Gabriels Gardens, was told that he would be here at noon the next day and he showed up at 11:55.

We discussed the needed repairs, agreed upon a price and I was told that they would start the following Monday at 9:00. The workers showed up at 8:30 and got right to work digging up what turned out to be about 4 old systems. They added a couple of sprinkler heads to give the yard complete coverage, uncovered a couple of others I didn't even know we had and added a zone to the system to make it more effective at no additional cost.

After the work was finished the crew did a wonderful job of cleaning up, including a couple of areas that weren't their mess. They topped it all off by trimming a couple of bushes and seeding some bare patches in the yard.

I signed up for a twice a year maintenance program they offer and in the spring I plan to have them back to re-seed the front yard.

This company is fast, professional, friendly and efficient. In addition to sprinkler systems they offer a wide variety of landscaping and home maintenance services ."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Salem, OR

If climbing ladders or handling wiring isn’t in your comfort zone, hire a pro. Look for installers who post clear per-foot or hourly rates, carry insurance, and have solid reviews. Comparing at least three quotes helps you spot fair pricing without sacrificing safety. Skipping credentials to save a few dollars can cost you far more in repairs, so pick a qualified team and enjoy a safe, eye-catching display.

Yes, booking between February and September often scores lower rates because demand is light and pros have open calendars. You might even negotiate a discount package that includes removal or storage. If the budget is tight, ask whether a handyperson or an off-season permanent-light install makes sense for your home and timeline.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. 

For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice way to thank your installer for a job well done. Most homeowners offer 10% to 20% of the total bill or round up to an even figure if the crew exceeds expectations. A small extra goes a long way toward showing appreciation—and may help you snag priority booking next season.

Yes, you can install holiday lights yourself if your property layout is straightforward and your electrical system is secure. Homeowners who are confident in their ability to safely handle wiring and use proper equipment can save money with a DIY approach. 

However, it is crucial to test all outlets thoroughly and secure the proper ladders and safety gear before starting. Careful planning and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect yourself and your home while achieving an attractive display.

Start by clearing the area of loose debris, damaged shingles, and anything that could trip you up. Test outdoor outlets and, if you’re unsure, bring in an electrician. Use a sturdy extension ladder (or scaffolding for very high spots) and never work alone—having a helper steady the ladder is non-negotiable. Taking these simple steps keeps you, your roof, and your new lights safe.
