About
Hi, I’m Maarten, the owner of North Pole Lighting Co. We’re a small, owner-led three-person team creating custom holiday displays and professionally installed permanent outdoor lighting throughout the Portland area. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and we keep our state and federal business requirements current. Our crew is professionally trained, safety-focused, and committed to treating every home with care and respect. We offer the polished results of a larger lighting company with more personal attention, greater flexibility, and a more reasonable price. Because we operate with a small team and lean overhead, more of your budget goes toward the design, materials, and installation—not corporate expenses or sales commissions. You’ll work directly with the people designing and installing your lights. We’ll listen to your vision, learn what you love, and create clear options around your home and ideal budget. There’s no pressure to choose the largest display and no unnecessary upselling. Our seasonal lighting service can include: • Custom lighting designed around your home • Commercial-grade lights and professional installation • Rooflines, trees, landscaping, wreaths, and garland • In-season maintenance and repairs • Professional takedown after the holidays • Organized storage for the following season We also install Govee and other permanent architectural lighting systems with an emphasis on clean placement, discreet tracks and wiring, and a finished appearance that looks great during the day and at night. Our customers become part of the North Pole family. We remember their homes, their favorite colors, the details of their displays, and what made the season special to them. We want every customer to feel personally cared for—not passed between salespeople, installers, and customer-service departments. Tell us what you’re imagining and the budget you’re comfortable with. We’ll show you how to make the biggest impact and create a lighting experience that feels exciting, personal, and effortless.

I had an excellent experience with North Pole Lighting Co for my Christmas light installation this year! From start to finish, their team was professional, friendly, and efficient. They really took the time to understand my vision and delivered a beautifully designed light display that exceeded my expectations. The installation process was smooth, and they made sure everything was set up perfectly before leaving. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to brighten up their home for the holidays!
