City of hills, trees and rivers — and one very well-lit house.
West Linn stacks its homes on ridges above two rivers and a waterfall. We design it, hang it, maintain it, and take it down — from historic Willamette to the top of Rosemont.
Hanging your own lights on a West Linn hillside is a cold, steep, genuinely dangerous way to lose a weekend.
You drag the tangled box out of the garage. Half the strand is dead. Now you're setting a ladder on sloped, rain-slick ground under second-growth firs, reaching for an eave that sits a full storey higher on the downhill side.
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 ridge.
Whether you're in historic Willamette, down in Robinwood or Bolton, up Rosemont, or on a view lot in Skyline Ridge or Barrington Heights — 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.

A city that put its geography in its own motto.
West Linn calls itself the City of Hills, Trees and Rivers, which is less a slogan than a description. It sits above the confluence of the Willamette and the Tualatin, looking across at Willamette Falls — the largest waterfall by volume in the Pacific Northwest, and the reason there is a city here at all.
The falls powered the mills, the mills built the town, and the town spread up the hills behind them. Historic Willamette still has its own main street and its own centre of gravity. Above it, the ridges climb toward Rosemont with the valley opening out below.
Three ridgelines, two rivers and a waterfall. This is not a place where a house disappears into the row — it either reads from a distance or it doesn't.
We light every street in West Linn.
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:
West Linn and the Willamette corridor.
Serving more than West Linn? We also handle holiday lighting in Wilsonville and Christmas lights in Oregon City. See how our our Christmas light hanging service works from design to takedown, or browse our recent lighting projects.
Built for a West Linn winter.
The metro takes roughly 43 inches of rain a year, most of it while your lights are up. West Linn adds its own complications: ridgetop wind that the valley floor never feels, river fog off two confluences, and the Gorge east wind that turns a wet December night into a silver thaw.
- Six months of steady rain: sealed, weather-rated connections instead of the open sockets that corrode by December
- Ridgetop wind: low-profile, properly anchored installs that stay put on an exposed hillside through a winter storm
- Gorge east wind & ice storms: clips and hardware rated to hold a load through a freezing-rain event
- River fog & heavy canopy: commercial-grade housings and designs planned around firs, needle fall and blocked sightlines
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.
Hillside and sloped-lot specialists
Setting a ladder on a grade is where most DIY injuries happen. Our crews are trained and equipped for sloped ground, split-level faces, and eaves a full storey higher on the downhill side.
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.
Designed to read from across the valley
A West Linn home on a ridge is seen from a long way off. We plan sightlines for distance as well as kerbside, so the display holds together instead of dissolving into a line of dots.
One local team for every kind of light.

How much does holiday lighting installation cost in West Linn, OR?
Every property is different — a historic Willamette cottage, a Robinwood split-level, and a Skyline Ridge view home all need different designs, and slope affects the work. We give you a clear, fixed quote up front with no surprises. 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 handle steep or sloped lots?
Yes, and in West Linn it's most of the work. The city is built on three ridgelines, and a lot of homes present an extra storey on the downhill side. Our crews are trained, insured, and properly equipped for that — which is exactly why you shouldn't be up there yourself.
Do you offer permanent lighting in West Linn?
Yes. Permanent architectural lighting is a low-profile, app-controlled system installed into your roofline — invisible by day, any color by night. On a hillside home it's especially worth it: one install, and you never put a ladder on that slope again.
Do you serve my West Linn neighborhood?
Almost certainly. We serve all of West Linn — historic Willamette, Robinwood, Bolton, Sunset, Savanna Oaks, Hidden Springs, Parker Crest, Marylhurst, Barrington Heights, Skyline Ridge, Tanner Basin and Rosemont — plus Lake Oswego, Oregon City, Tualatin and Wilsonville.
Can you work around mature trees?
Yes. West Linn earns the 'trees' in its motto, and second-growth firs shape what's possible on many lots. We design around the canopy, use damage-free attachment, and plan sightlines so the display isn't swallowed by branches.
Will the lights survive a Portland-area ice storm?
They are built for it. You get about 43 inches of rain a year plus ridgetop wind and the Gorge east wind that brings freezing rain. Our fixtures use sealed, weather-rated connections and our anchoring is rated to hold 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, ready for Christmas, the Fourth, or a Lions game 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.
