Christmas Decorating for Porch, Trees, and Interior

Front porch, trees, mantels, and staircases, designed and installed. We come back in January and take it all down.

Booking now for December 2026. Installs run the week after Thanksgiving through December 20, and the early-December weekends go first. We installed in Delray Beach twice this fall and are holding December dates there and in Boca Raton, across Broward County and the rest of Palm Beach County. Returning fall clients get 10% off and first pick of dates.

Christmas is the season people care most about and plan worst for. In September nobody is thinking about garland. By the second week of December every good installer in Broward is booked, the tree you wanted is gone, and you are on a ladder at 9pm arguing with a strand of lights.

Portico Seasonal handles the front porch, the trees, and the inside of the house. We design it, we bring it, we set it up, and in January we come take it down and store nothing at your address.

What we do not do

We do not install roofline lighting, gutter lighting, or any permanent exterior light system. No ladders on your roof, no clips on your fascia. If that is what you are after, you want a lighting company, and we would rather tell you now than sell you the wrong thing.

We do light porches and trees. Garland with lights on your columns and rail, lit trees flanking the door, lanterns down the steps, a lit tree in your living room. All of that is squarely what we do. The line is the roof.

What comes with every Christmas design

  • Design included. Every Christmas job starts with a design for your house. No add-on, no upsell. We work to your palette, whether that is traditional red and green or the quiet evergreen-and-cream look most of our clients ask for.
  • Materials and setup. Garland, wreaths, ribbon, lights, ornaments, and the labor to hang all of it properly, on timers where it makes sense.
  • January takedown. We come back in January, take it all down and haul it away. It is in the price.
  • A finished house. We fluff, we hide the cords, we test everything, and we do not leave until it looks the way it looked in the plan.

Custom Christmas, from $1,500

Christmas is labor and good materials, and every house is different, so every Christmas we do is custom. These are starting points. Leave your number and we call you within one business day to talk about your home and what you would like, then your designer sends your design and price. Every price includes the design, the setup, travel and the January takedown.

What would you like included?

Decorated Christmas trees in warm white lights
Your tree lit and decorated, or a lit tree we bring and set up.

Tell us what you want and your designer builds it into your quote. Tick any of these on the request form, or just tell us on the call. Nothing here is priced on its own, because the right amount of garland for your stairs is not the right amount for your neighbor's.

  • Lit & decorated trees. Your tree decorated with lights, ribbon, ornaments and a topper, or a lit tree we bring and set up.
  • Garlands. The mantel, the staircase, the front door surround, and extra runs for a long rail or a second column.
  • Wreaths. The front door and the windows, lit, sized to the opening.
  • Floral arrangements. Faux pieces that last the season, fresh arrangements, or one large statement piece for the entry.
  • Tablescapes. The dining table for the week you host, and the entry console.
  • Holiday decor. Snowmen, Santas, reindeer, sleighs and villages.

January takedown, included

The part everyone forgets to plan. We come back in January, take everything down, pack it, and take it out. It is included in every Christmas price, so it is never an extra line on your quote, and we put your takedown date on the calendar when we confirm your install.

Book before Thanksgiving

This is not a manufactured deadline. The Christmas install window is about four weeks long, one truck can only do so many houses in a day, and the weekend dates in the first half of December are the first to go. In practice the calendar is largely spoken for by Thanksgiving.

If you decorated with us in the fall, say so when you book. We hold a block of December dates for returning fall clients before the calendar opens up, and it is the easiest way to get the date you actually want.

What it looks like on the day

  • Before the install. We confirm your date, your palette, and where the outlets and switched exteriors are. If we are doing interior work we will ask about pets and floors.
  • Install day. Porch first, then trees, then interior. A front porch package is usually a couple of hours. A whole home is most of a day.
  • Before we leave. Everything gets tested, timers get set, and we walk you through anything you will need to switch on and off.
  • January. We come back, take it down, and it leaves with us. That visit is already in your price.

Travel is in your quote

Our crews work out of central Broward, the south side of metro Atlanta and Brooklyn. For Christmas, your designer folds the drive into your price, so there is no separate delivery line to add up.

Homes further out, like Jupiter, Palm Beach, Key Biscayne, Homestead, Naples, Cape Coral, the Hamptons and Lake Oconee, are installed on scheduled route days in December. Ask early and give us the widest install window you can.

Get your design and price

The request form takes about a minute, and only your name, phone and city are required. We call you within one business day to talk about your home and what you would like. Then your designer sends your design and price. If you have photos of your porch and the rooms, text them to 954-787-4963 (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut: 646-969-3495) before the call. Nothing is paid until you approve your design. Then a 50% deposit holds your install date.

Common questions

Christmas Decorating for Porch, Trees, and Interior FAQ

How much does Christmas decorating cost?

Christmas is custom, priced for your house. The Front Porch starts at $1,500, Porch & Tree at $2,500 and The Whole Home at $3,500. Businesses and events start at $3,500. We call you within one business day to talk about your home, then your designer sends your design and price. Design, setup, travel and the January takedown are included.

Do you install roofline or exterior lighting?

No. We do not do roofline lighting, gutter lighting, or permanent exterior light systems. We do light porches, columns, rails, and trees, including lit trees flanking your door and lanterns down the steps. If you want your roof outlined, you need a lighting company and we will say so.

Do you decorate inside the house?

Yes. Trees, mantels, staircase garland, entry consoles, and dining tablescapes. Tell us which rooms you want done and your designer builds them into your quote. The Whole Home covers the porch, the trees, and the interior rooms that matter.

Do you supply the tree?

Yes. We can bring a lit tree, set it up and decorate it, or decorate the tree you already have. Tick trees on the request form, tell us the height, and your designer prices it into your quote. Real trees are quoted too.

Who takes it all down?

We do, and it is included in every Christmas price. We schedule the January takedown when we confirm your install, so there is nothing to book later.

When do I need to book by?

Before Thanksgiving in practice. The install window is only about four weeks and the early-December weekend dates go first. If you were a fall client, tell us, because we hold December dates for returning clients before the calendar opens.

Do you do outdoor Christmas decorations in Florida without a roofline?

Yes, that is most of what we do. Garland and lights on columns and railings, lit trees flanking the door, wreaths, lanterns down the steps and planted urns, all built to hold up in South Florida wind and heat. We do not touch the roof or gutters.

Which cities do you serve for Christmas decorating?

All of Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade, from Jupiter to Homestead, plus Naples and Cape Coral on route days. Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Plantation, Davie, Weston, Parkland and Coral Gables are the cities we are in most. Metro Atlanta and the New York Tristate have their own crews.

How long does the install take?

A front porch is usually a couple of hours. A porch-plus-tree is a half day. A whole home is most of a day. We test everything and set the timers before we leave.
