Seasonal & Holiday Services

Handis seasonal and holiday services cover the three weather-driven visit families a Seattle home actually needs across the year — holiday lighting installs and takedown, fall winterization, and spring/summer prep — from $200 for a single hose-bib insulation up to $9,000 for a full commercial holiday décor program. The list nobody books until it is too late. Lights still on the roofline in February because the ladder felt sketchy on wet shingles in January. Hose bib never insulated because the first cold snap came three weeks earlier than expected. Gutters overflowing every November because the September visit slipped past. We turn the seasonal punch-list into actual visits on the calendar, scheduled to the Pacific Northwest year rather than a generic national template.

Pricing

Seasonal & Holiday Services Pricing

Pricing depends on the property size, the linear footage of roofline or the number of trees and shrubs for holiday work, and how many fixtures or hose bibs a winterization visit covers. Each sub-category page has detailed pricing for that family. Request a free estimate for an accurate quote.

Why Seattle Homeowners Book Handis for Seasonal Work

Seasonal work fails on timing as much as on craft. Holiday lights booked in mid-December are already late — by then half the crews in Seattle are sold out and ladders on wet shingles after Thanksgiving are a real injury risk. Winterization booked after the first hard freeze is also late — split pipes do not unsplit. Spring deck care booked in March is too early — the boards are still saturated and stain peels off the next dry week. We schedule the visits to the weather window each family actually needs, hold the crew assignment year to year so the tech who hung your lights last December is the one taking them down in January, and tell you on the call whether what you want fits the trade or routes to a licensed Washington L&I contractor.

Estimate

Tell us the property size, roughly which family you are thinking about (holiday lighting, winterization, spring/summer prep), and any specifics — roofline footage, number of trees to wrap, snowbird dates, whether you want the permanent-track option. We send a clear estimate for the visit or the season.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Handis seasonal and holiday services — pricing, scheduling, scope, what fits the handyman trade, and what routes to a licensed Washington L&I electrician or contractor.

How much do seasonal and holiday services cost?
A standalone hose-bib insulation pass starts at $200 for a four-bib house. Holiday light takedown and storage on an existing single-story install starts at $250. Spring reset and fall winterization packages start at $450 each. Tree and shrub wrap starts at $400 per set. Roofline holiday lighting installs start at $700 for a standard single-story roofline. Snowbird winterization starts at $700. Permanent track-lighting installs (with the hardwired wiring subbed to a licensed Washington L&I electrician) start at $2,500. Commercial holiday décor programs start at $2,500 and run up to $9,000 for full multi-elevation HOA and office-park installs. You get a clear estimate before any visit.
When should I book holiday lighting?
Book the install for late October or early November and the takedown for the second or third week of January. Booking the install in December usually means the crew is already sold out, and ladder work on wet shingles after Thanksgiving is a real injury risk that we plan around. Booking the takedown after mid-February risks ladder work on icy mornings. Most repeat customers lock in both dates a year in advance.
When should I book winterization?
Mid-September to mid-November, before the first sustained cold drops overnight lows below freezing. Seattle typically has a few days of hard freeze in late November or December — bib covers, weatherstripping, and pipe insulation need to be in place before that window. Snowbird programs run on the homeowner's departure date and run weekly through the absence.
When should I book spring/summer prep?
Mid-April to late May, after the heavy March and early April rains taper and the deck boards have a few dry days to lose moisture. Earlier than that and any deck stain peels off the next dry week because the wood is still saturated. Roof and gutter spring visits go on the books for whatever dry window the late-spring weather provides.
What is the difference between plug-in holiday lights and permanent track lighting?
Plug-in holiday lights are seasonal — LED strands clipped onto the gutter or roofline, plugged into a GFCI exterior outlet, taken down after the holiday and stored in a bin. Permanent track lighting is a year-round soffit-mounted system — a low-profile track holds individually-addressable LEDs, controlled from an app, that produce holiday colors in December and accent lighting the rest of the year. Permanent systems require a hardwired circuit from the panel to the soffit, so the wiring portion is sub-contracted to a licensed Washington L&I electrician. Handis does the track mounting and the controller setup; the electrician does the circuit.
Can I combine seasonal services?
Yes — most customers do. A common Seattle stack is the fall winterization package plus the holiday lighting install in October-November, then the takedown in January, then the spring reset in April. The visits are designed to layer — booking the fall winterization and the holiday install in the same week is cheaper than two separate trips. Combined estimates discount the per-visit price.
Do you work outside Seattle proper?
Yes — most of the Puget Sound region is in service area, from north Seattle and Shoreline through Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah, Sammamish, Renton, Tukwila, Burien, and south to Federal Way. Vacation properties on the I-90 corridor (North Bend, Snoqualmie, Cle Elum) and Hood Canal homes are covered with a travel premium added to the quote. Outside that radius we will tell you on the call if the math works.
What if my holiday strands are damaged or missing bulbs?
We carry common LED replacement strands and bulbs on the truck for the popular sizes (C9, C7, mini-LED, warm white and multi-color). If your existing strands are too old to repair reliably — common at the seven-year mark for incandescent and the ten-year mark for LED — we will tell you on the visit and quote a strand replacement instead of a repair. Pulling apart a fifteen-year-old incandescent strand at the bulb sockets in 38-degree rain is a losing battle every time.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every Handis handyman is background-checked, insured, and on the hook for a 30-day workmanship guarantee on the seasonal work — clips that pop, strands that sag, hose-bib covers that slide off, deck screws that back out, sump pumps that test fine and fail the next week. We come back and fix it at no extra charge. The guarantee covers our work — it does not cover damage from a windstorm well beyond design wind load, a roof failure unrelated to our work, or a strand the customer supplied that was already past its service life.
