You have people who will come in and clean your house, and others will come and decorate your house. There have been several television channels dedicated to things just like that (looking at you, HGTV and countless other DIY channel chasers).

But what about someone whose sole purpose is to come, decorate your porch, to give your house a little extra somethin’ somethin’ for the holiday? That’s right, there’s such a thing as a Porch Decorator.

What Is A Porch Decorator?

It is exactly what it sounds like. A company that you can hire to come in around Halloween and Thanksgiving to “Gourde” up the entry of your home. Give it that real fall appeal.

This is a big and booming business in Minneapolis, Denver, Texas, California, and elsewhere. So why not Washington? Well, we actually do have a few. The PNW Porch out of Tacoma, Pretty Porch in the Cle Elum area, Decorated Doorstep in the Tri-Cities (to name a few). But why not a few more!?!?

Think of your front porch adorned with pumpkins, hay bales, corn stocks, scarecrows, etc. These companies are getting bigger and bigger, even offering clean up after the holidays are over (if you’re willing to pay). Or save some money and time for next year, and just leave them set up (just like last year’s Christmas lights).
