A town of old trees and older houses lit the way it deserves.
Forest Grove has Oregon's oldest university and the historic homes to match. We light them safely — designed, installed, maintained and taken down, with no ladder for you.
Hanging your own lights in a Forest Grove December is a cold, soaking, slightly dangerous way to lose a weekend.
You drag the tangled box out of the garage. Half the strand is dead. Now you're on a ladder against mossy, rain-slick eaves in a steady drizzle, fingers numb, with the light gone by half past four.
Hours later, it's… fine. A little crooked over the garage. And after the first real ice event knocks a section out, you get to climb back up and do it again.
There's a better way — and 1,000+ Oregon homeowners have already found it.
Imagine doing absolutely nothing — and having the best lights on the block.
Whether you're in the Clark Historic District, near the Pacific campus, out toward Thatcher or Gales Creek, or in a newer build on the north side — you never see a ladder. A designer maps your property, our crew installs a flawless custom display, we keep it perfect all season, and we quietly take it down when the holidays end.
- Custom-designed for your home — not generic store strands
- Installed by trained, insured Portland-area locals
- Maintained all season — a dark bulb is our problem
- Taken down and stored, clean and damage-free
Five steps. Zero hassle.

Pacific University has been here since 1849. So have a lot of the houses.
Pacific was chartered in 1849, which makes it the oldest university in Oregon, and Forest Grove grew up around it. Old College Hall on the campus is the oldest building in continuous educational use west of the Rockies.
The Clark Historic District nearby holds one of the better collections of nineteenth-century homes in the county, and the giant sequoias planted along the streets in the 1870s are still standing over the town.
Century-old houses under century-old sequoias make a beautiful display — and a genuinely bad DIY project.
We light every street in Forest Grove.
We're not a national chain parachuting in with a truck of generic strands. We've served Oregon since 2006, and our metro warehouse is on SW Arctic Drive in Beaverton:
Forest Grove and the west county, covered.
Serving more than Forest Grove? We also handle Hillsboro holiday light installation and holiday lighting in McMinnville. See how our our Christmas light hanging service works from design to takedown, or see how our pricing works.
Built for a Forest Grove winter.
Sitting against the Coast Range at the western end of the Tualatin Valley, Forest Grove takes noticeably more rain than the rest of the metro's 43 inches — the hills wring out weather before it reaches Portland. Add heavy canopy and persistent valley fog.
- Six months of steady rain: sealed, weather-rated connections instead of the open sockets that corrode by December
- Gorge east wind & ice storms: clips and hardware rated to hold a load through a Portland freezing-rain event
- Damp, moss and mildew: commercial-grade housings that shrug off the moisture that shorts cheap strands
- Tall firs & steep pitches: trained crews with the right gear for mature trees, three-storey elevations and steep roofs
Not a franchise. Not a truck full of generic strands.
We make our own lights
Commercial-grade fixtures we manufacture ourselves — built to outshine and outlast anything from the store. Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee on materials.
We pioneered LED here
Brennan and Melody Morrow founded one of the first LED-only Christmas lighting companies in the United States — right here in Oregon, back when everyone else was still hanging incandescents.
Historic homes, handled properly
The Clark District has genuine nineteenth-century building stock. Original trim, deep eaves and steep old roofs need damage-free attachment and a careful hand, never staples.
An Oregon family since 2006
Brennan and Melody started this nearly two decades ago. They still show up. The team treats your home like their own.
Oregon's highest-rated
300+ five-star reviews and 1,000+ homes lit across Oregon — plus municipal lighting for cities including Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, and Lake Oswego.
Mature canopy and tall trees
Sequoias and old firs shape what's actually possible on these lots. We design around the canopy and plan sightlines so the display isn't swallowed by branches.
One local team for every kind of light.

How much does holiday lighting installation cost in Forest Grove, OR?
Every property is different — a Clark District Victorian, a home near the Pacific campus and a newer north-side build all need different designs. We give you a clear, fixed quote up front with no surprises and no hidden fees. Start with the form, call (503) 400-7931, or design your home in Light Designer for a real price in about 60 seconds.
Can you work on a historic home without damaging it?
Yes — it's a large part of what we do in Forest Grove. We use damage-free attachment on original trim and eaves, never staples, and a complimentary post-takedown inspection comes standard on every job.
Do you offer permanent lighting in Forest Grove?
Yes. Permanent architectural lighting is a low-profile, app-controlled system installed into your roofline — invisible by day, any color by night. One install covers Christmas, the Fourth, game days, and everyday curb appeal, with a Lifetime Guarantee on materials.
What if a light goes out mid-season?
It's our problem, not yours. Call us and we're at your door within 24 hours. You'll never change a bulb again — season-long service is included, not an add-on.
Do you take the lights down too?
Yes — takedown is included. When the season ends we remove everything, leave your home clean and damage-free, and store your materials for next year. A free post-takedown inspection comes standard.
