Holiday Lighting
Handis holiday lighting installs and takes down plug-in Christmas lights on rooflines, trees, and shrubs, mounts permanent track-lighting systems with the hardwired wiring subbed to a licensed Washington L&I electrician, and runs full commercial holiday décor programs for HOAs and office parks — from $250 for a takedown-and-storage visit on an existing install. The two failure modes that send Seattle homeowners to a holiday-lighting service every year — a ladder slipping on wet shingles in late November, and a strand that worked fine in the box last December popping a GFCI the moment it lands on the roofline. We bring the right clip for the gutter profile, a GFCI-aware circuit plan, replacement strands and bulbs on the truck, and labeled storage bins for the takedown.

Holiday Lighting Pricing
Final pricing depends on linear footage of roofline, number of trees and shrubs, whether existing strands are reused or replaced, and whether the system is plug-in seasonal or permanent track lighting (which adds the licensed-electrician portion). Each child page lists detailed pricing for that service. Request a free estimate for an accurate quote.

Why Seattle Homeowners Book Handis for Holiday Lighting
Holiday lighting looks like a one-day job from the driveway. The reality is closer to a small construction project — strand counts measured to linear footage, GFCI circuits planned around amperage budgets (most exterior GFCIs on a single 15-amp circuit cap out around twelve hundred LED bulbs before the breaker resets), clip profiles matched to the gutter (K-style versus half-round versus none-at-all-and-clipped-to-the-shingle), timer and smart-plug pairing, then the same job in reverse two months later in the cold and rain. A few hundred installs in, the patterns repeat. We bring the right clip for your gutter, the right strand count for your footage, and the storage bins that mean next year's install starts from the right box.
Estimate
Tell us the property — single-story or two-story, approximate roofline footage, number of trees and shrubs you want lit, whether you want plug-in seasonal or a permanent track-lighting system, and any preference on warm white versus multi-color. We send a clear estimate for the install and the takedown.
What Our Customers Say
Recent holiday lighting reviews from verified Seattle-area customers.
Roofline install in early November on a two-story Craftsman. Tech split the run across two GFCI circuits because the front and the side gable would have overloaded a single outlet — explained why before he plugged anything in. Clean warm white strands traced along the fascia for two months without a single outage. Takedown the second week of January, all back in labeled bins.
Six shrubs and two maples along the front walk. We used to put up rope lights ourselves and they looked terrible — half the bulbs out by mid-December. Handis put real LED strands on a timer, green wire on the shrubs so the daytime view is just shrubs. Three windstorms in and nothing has moved.
Permanent track lighting on the soffit. Handis ran the install, their electrician handled the circuit from the panel. Both crews on site the same week, no scheduling shuffle on my end. The system runs holiday colors in December, soft white the rest of the year, controlled from my phone. Better than anything I priced in Lake Washington.
Inherited the holiday lights from the previous owners — six bins, no labels, half the strands corroded. Booked Handis for a takedown plus assessment. They pulled everything, sorted what was salvageable, threw the trash strands in a bag, labeled the bins by elevation. Now I know exactly what I have for next year.
HOA board hired Handis for the front entrance plus the clubhouse — three big trees, the clubhouse roofline, two flagpoles wrapped, garland along the entry sign. Crew showed up in mid-November, installed in one day, took it all down on January eight. We did not get a single complaint, which never happens.
