"Daniel and his team installed holiday lights on the outside of my house two years in a row and I look forward to them doing my lights again this year. Daniel and his team are professional, creative, and reasonably priced. I absolutely love coming home in the evening to my home glowy with holiday lights, this brings me great joy!"

"Hayden did an outstanding job - start to finish. I highly recommend him. Trustworthy, kind and professional. The finish product was without flaw. You can’t go wrong hiring him for your holiday lighting needs."

"Danny and his dad are great, very professional, and extremely polite. Their quality of work is wonderful and they pay close attention to detail. They are always open to special requests or having something done a certain way that the customer prefers it (i.e., pruning trees and/or bushes, etc.) They also remove any and all yard debris and dispose of it as needed. I have referred several people to them and they were very pleased as well. Their prices are competitive and reasonable. I enjoy hiring young entrepreneurs who are making their way in a very competitive market. I definitely would recommend them."

"The project was actually downspout cleaning. Downspouts were clear when Nick ran water down them. Nick informed me I had a great deal of moss on roof and he returned at a later date and took care of it at no cost to me. Great customer service."

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Portland, 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.
