Halloween and Fall Porch Decorating Service in Portland: Pumpkins, Roofline Lights and a Clean Walkway, Delivered and Installed

What a Halloween decorating service actually does

The phrase covers everything from a rented twelve-foot skeleton to a stylist filling your mantel. Ours is narrower and outdoor: the front of the house as the street sees it. That is the porch, the steps, the roofline and the walk. We deliver and style the pumpkins, hang and program the lights, wash the concrete, and come back to switch, remove and take down. We do not do interiors, we do not rent inflatables or animatronics, and we do not drill anything into the house. If you want a yard full of props, we are not the right call. If you want the house to look finished from the sidewalk without a single ladder trip, we are.

Piece one: the pumpkin display

Uncarved heirloom pumpkins from local farms, delivered and arranged on the porch in the first three weeks of October. Three packages, Porch $475, Walkway $995 and Full Front from $1,850, from about 26 pumpkins on the porch to 120 or more running porch to driveway, with straw bales and mums, and cornstalks on Full Front. Pick the darker Haunt palette (deep orange, black-green Kabocha, white and warty) for a Halloween lean, or farmhouse white and blue if you want it to read as fall through Thanksgiving. Pumpkins are set off the wet concrete and replaced free if one fails before Halloween. Full details and ordering are on the porch pumpkins page.

Piece two: roofline lights that do two holidays

One install, late September to mid October, of color-changing C9 bulbs along the front roofline and peaks with a controller and a remote. October runs orange and purple; on the day you choose in November it switches to warm white or multicolor for Christmas; we take it all down in January. A typical single-story front lands in the $1,000 to $1,500 band, priced from the measured roofline, and it replaces two separate installs. This is seasonal lighting on clips, not a permanent track system, and we say so on every page.

Piece three: the walkway wash

Portland walkways are green and slick by late October, and a trick-or-treat night with a hundred small feet on wet algae is how someone gets hurt. A surface-cleaner wash of the front walk, steps and the porch slab takes the growth off and dries in a day. It is priced by measured square footage on the pressure washing page and is the cheapest line on the list when it rides along with the pumpkin delivery.

Timing, booking and what it costs together

Pumpkins install October 1 to 18 in the week you choose. Lights go up late September through mid October so they are running by Halloween. Walkway washes fit any dry day in October. Book pumpkins with a 50 percent deposit online; lights and washing are quoted from the address, usually the same day, and confirmed before anything is scheduled.

Porch pumpkins plus two-holiday roofline lights on a single-story home typically runs $1,500 to $2,000 for October through January, with the pumpkin removal free because the lights crew is already there. Pumpkins alone start at $475. Lights alone are quoted per roofline foot.
