As late summer shifts into early fall, September is the ideal time to think about exterior lighting for the colder months ahead. Located just minutes from our Sellwood workshop, homes in Westmoreland, Portland, OR benefit from reliable, neighbor-level service. Planning early ensures your home is scheduled before the damp Pacific Northwest weather sets in, giving you a custom display that shines cleanly all season long.
Thoughtful Displays for Classic Neighborhood Architecture
Westmoreland features a distinct mix of architectural styles, from classic Craftsman bungalows and storybook cottages to mid-century ranches. Each home profile requires a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all setup.
- Craftsman homes often look best with warm-white roofline lighting that follows the distinct gables, dormers, and deep eaves.
- Mid-century profiles benefit from crisp, clean horizontal lines that accentuate low-pitch roofs and structural geometry.
- Mature street trees and porch columns can be highlighted with precise trunk wraps or subtle branch lighting to add depth without clutter.
For homeowners who want year-round flexibility, permanent color-changing architectural systems like Govee are also an option. We provide a three-year installation warranty on Govee systems, covering any strand issues caused by installation negligence at no cost to you. If a product component fails under the manufacturer warranty, Govee handles the replacement strand, and we reinstall it at the original installation rate.
Complete Turnkey Service from Start to Finish
Putting up holiday lights can be time-consuming and hazardous on wet, slick roofs. Turnkey holiday lighting takes the entire process off your hands from start to finish.
- Custom design: We map out your rooflines, architectural features, and landscaping to create a balanced, uncluttered design tailored to your property.
- Commercial-grade materials: We cut wiring to the exact dimensions of your roofline, eliminating loose cords, messy overlaps, and excess slack.
- Professional installation: Our small, owner-led crew handles the ladder work safely and attaches lights securely to protect gutters and shingles.
- In-season maintenance: If a bulb goes out or wind shifts a clip during a winter storm, we return to fix it promptly.
- Takedown and storage: In January, we carefully remove the strands, label each piece, and store them securely in our facility until next season.
Early Planning for the Pacific Northwest Fall
Scheduling your installation during September allows you to secure a preferred date before the late autumn rush. Wet November weather often creates scheduling bottlenecks across the region, making early installation a practical choice. Even if lights are installed in early autumn, they remain switched off until you are ready to illuminate them for the season.
