How seasonal pricing works

We charge by the foot: simple, honest, no hidden fees. Your written quote spells out everything before any work starts.

Year one covers installation, January takedown and storage. Re-hangs in later seasons are priced by the foot too, with next-season terms confirmed in your quote. There is no job minimum, so a smaller layout is priced the same way.

Takedown and storage

Down in January, tested, labeled and stored. Re-hung next year at the re-hang rate.

Seasonal now, permanent later

Considering permanent lights later? Compare the one-time installation cost with seasonal installation and future re-hangs. Seasonal lights go up for the holidays and come down in January, each year you book them. A permanent system such as Pebble Track is installed once and lit every night as year-round house lights. On average, permanent lights run about $3,000 and Christmas lights about $600; smaller homes often cost less, and the free measure gives your exact written quote. Permanent vs seasonal, compared.

Hanging for the Gorge wind

In Washougal, Camas, Gresham and Troutdale we clip every bulb, route cord behind the drip edge on exposed corners and tension the strand so it can't slap. If a run is a poor bet for seasonal lights in that wind, we say so at the measure.

Seasonal lighting questions

Do you also hang regular Christmas lights?
Yes. Commercial-grade single-color C9s on clips, with January takedown and storage included; in later seasons we re-hang the lights we stored. On average, Christmas lights run about $600; smaller homes often cost less, and the free measure gives your exact written quote. We charge by the foot: simple, honest, no hidden fees. Your written quote spells out everything before any work starts.
When should I book seasonal lights?
Ask about available dates ahead of the holiday you are planning for. An installation date is confirmed with your quote; this website does not guarantee a pre-Thanksgiving slot.
Can you hang lights I already own?
We hang our own commercial strands so we can warrant them. Quality customer-owned C9 strands in good shape can sometimes be re-hung at the re-hang rate after testing.
Permanent or seasonal: which should I choose?
Seasonal C9 service is hung for the holidays and taken down in January, and you pay for a re-hang each season; a permanent system is installed once and lit every night of the year. On average, permanent lights run about $3,000 and Christmas lights about $600; smaller homes often cost less, and the free measure gives your exact written quote. Seasonal keeps the initial project smaller; compare the total over the years you expect to use it.
