Takedown and storage

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

Seasonal now, permanent later

Your year-1 seasonal price is credited toward a permanent install the following year. On a 150-foot roofline the seasonal service costs $1,650 this year and about $975 a year after; permanent Pebble Track is $4,800 once and lit every night. The five-year math.

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 for $11 per foot in year one, which includes takedown in January and storage. Years two and up are a re-hang at $6 to $7 per foot. $1,000 minimum. Your year-one seasonal price is credited toward a permanent install the next year.
When should I book seasonal lights?
By October 31 for a guaranteed pre-Thanksgiving install. Installs run mid-October through early December; takedown is the first two weeks of January.
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?
On a 150-foot roofline, seasonal C9 service costs about $1,650 in year one and about $975 a year after, so it passes the $4,800 permanent Pebble Track price in year five, while the permanent system is lit every night of the year. If you plan to stay five years, permanent is cheaper; if not, seasonal with the upgrade credit keeps the option open.
