Make the lake reflect something worth looking at this winter.
Lake Oswego sets a high bar for how a house presents itself. We design it, hang it, maintain it, and take it down — from First Addition bungalows to the boathouses on Oswego Lake.
Hanging your own lights in a Lake Oswego December is a cold, soaking, slightly dangerous way to lose a weekend.
You drag the tangled box out of the basement. Half the strand is dead. Now you're on a ladder against mossy, rain-slick eaves in a steady drizzle, under firs that have been dropping needles into your gutters since October.
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 street.
Whether you're in a First Addition bungalow, a Forest Highlands contemporary under the firs, a Mountain Park or Westlake home, or on the water at Blue Heron or Lakewood Bay — you never see a ladder. A designer maps your property, our trained local 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.

Lake Oswego has been particular about how it looks for 150 years.
It started as an iron town. The Oregon Iron Company fired its first furnace here in 1867, and the stone stack still stands in George Rogers Park — a genuinely odd thing to find in a city now known for its lake frontage and its tree code.
That tree code is the tell. This is a place that legislates its canopy, keeps its street trees, and notices when something is done carelessly. Millennium Plaza at the foot of A Avenue, the shops along State Street, the firs standing over half the lots in Forest Highlands — the standard here is consistent.
In a city this particular about appearances, a crooked strand over the garage is not a small thing. Neither is getting it exactly right.
We light every street in Lake Oswego.
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:
Lake Oswego and the lakeside suburbs, covered.
Serving more than Lake Oswego? We also handle Milwaukie holiday light installation and holiday lighting in Tualatin. See how our done-for-you holiday lighting works from design to takedown, or review our transparent pricing.
Built for a Lake Oswego winter.
The metro takes roughly 43 inches of rain a year, most of it in the months your lights are up. Add the east wind funnelling out of the Columbia Gorge — the one that turns a wet December night into a silver thaw — plus mature Douglas firs dropping debris on every roofline, and cheap strands don't last the season.
- 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
- Mature firs & heavy canopy: installs planned around limbs, needle fall and blocked sightlines, not fighting them
- Lakefront damp: commercial-grade housings for docks, boathouses and waterfront elevations that never fully dry out
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.
Lakefront and boathouse work
Docks, boathouses and water-facing elevations are their own problem — constant damp, awkward access, and a display that reads from across the water. We design for the view from the lake as well as the street.
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.
Built for a tree-code city
Lake Oswego protects its canopy, and mature firs shape what is actually possible on most lots. We design around the trees rather than through them, with damage-free attachment throughout.
One local team for every kind of light.

How much does holiday lighting installation cost in Lake Oswego, OR?
Every property is different — a First Addition bungalow, a Forest Highlands contemporary, and a lakefront home with a boathouse 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.
Do you light lakefront homes and boathouses?
Yes. Waterfront elevations, docks and boathouses are regular work for us. They need commercial-grade sealed fixtures because they never fully dry out, and they need a design that reads from across the water as well as from the street.
Do you offer permanent lighting in Lake Oswego?
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, Lakers game nights, and everyday curb appeal, with a Lifetime Guarantee on materials.
Do you serve my Lake Oswego neighborhood?
Almost certainly. We serve all of Lake Oswego — First Addition, Forest Highlands, Lake Grove, Mountain Park, Palisades, Waluga, Evergreen, Glenmorrie, Westlake, Blue Heron, Rosewood, Bryant and the Country Club / North Shore area — plus Dunthorpe, West Linn, Tualatin and Tigard.
Can you work around mature trees and the tree code?
Yes. Firs and heavy canopy shape what's possible on a lot of Lake Oswego lots. We design around them, use damage-free attachment, and never rely on anything that would require cutting back protected trees.
Will the lights survive a Portland-area ice storm?
They are built for it. The metro gets about 43 inches of rain a year plus the Gorge east wind that brings freezing rain. Our fixtures use sealed, weather-rated connections and our clips are rated to hold a load through an ice event.
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.
What's the difference between holiday and permanent lighting?
Holiday lighting is a seasonal, fully done-for-you display we install and remove each year. Permanent lighting is a year-round, app-controlled system hidden in your roofline — invisible by day, any color by night. We do both.
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.
What's the guarantee, exactly?
If you're not happy, your lights are free — plus a Lifetime Guarantee on materials. Licensed, bonded and insured in Oregon, CCB #257964, since 2006.
