Ceiling fan installation
Remove an existing fan or light, assemble and hang one fan, then check its controls. The existing box must be suitable for the fan.
$165–$245 per fan
The installation list
Make a little room
for the finishing touches.
Sample labor prices for customer-supplied items, existing wiring and 8–10-foot ceilings. We review the item, mounting location and access before confirming the price.
What goes where
Light fixture installation
Replace one ceiling or wall fixture at existing wiring. Oversized or complex multi-part fixtures get a separate quote.
$95–$165 per fixture
Dimmer installation
Replace one existing switch with a compatible dimmer. We review the light and dimmer specifications before the visit.
$85–$135 per dimmer
Outdoor light installation
Replace one porch, wall or floodlight at an existing location. New wiring runs and trenching are quoted separately.
$125–$195 per fixture
A $125 minimum labor charge applies per visit, not per item. Prices are before applicable tax. Fixtures, fans, dimmers, special parts and permit fees are separate. We pull the permit when your town asks for one.
Behind the canopy
Sometimes the box
needs a brace.
A box that held a light may not be made to support a fan. We check the existing box and support before hanging the new item.
An accessible replacement box and brace usually add $95–$175, including parts and labor. We show you what needs changing and agree on the added price first. If reaching the framing means opening the ceiling, we quote that separately; ceiling patching and painting are not included.
11–14FEET
A higher ceiling changes the setup.
For an 11–14-foot ceiling with a clear, level floor, allow $75–$150 extra per visit for the taller ladder and setup. Tell us the height and show the floor below, including furniture or stairs.
Above 14 feet, over stairs or on a slope, we review access and quote the equipment first. Some spaces need a platform or lift; we confirm the plan before booking.
A half-day punch list
Four hours. Your priorities first.
$480 covers up to four hours of labor, including setup and cleanup, for one installer.
Send the list, item details and ceiling heights. We agree on a realistic order before the visit; four hours is a time allowance, not a promise to finish any size list. Items must be on site and ready.
The half-day rate replaces individual installation labor charges. Bracing parts, special access equipment, permit fees and tax are separate and agreed in advance; bracing labor uses the four-hour allowance. If the list will run over, we stop and agree on another visit. There is no automatic overtime charge.
Before the boxes are opened
Should I buy the fan or fixture first?
Choose the item and have its dimensions, weight and installation instructions ready. We review those details and the mounting location with you before the visit. You supply the fan, fixture or dimmer.
Does the half-day price include the fixtures?
No. The $480 half-day visit covers up to four hours of labor. You supply the items; extra parts and equipment are discussed before booking.
A few finishing touches, finally finished.
Tell us what is in the box, where it belongs and roughly how high the ceiling is.
