Michael C. says, "I could not be more pleased with the renovation of my condominium that I contracted with Evershine Construction. Owner Raymond Kim is friendly, polite, knowledgable, and professional. While he is managing several projects at once, Ray is “hands-on” and visits the site daily. He is completely accessible throughout the project. Christopher So (also on-site daily) is the cabinet person and was unbelievably helpful in making decisions on kitchen cabinets as well as helpful suggestions on bathroom tile and flooring throughout. Their workers are amazing! The work ethic, positivity, and attention to detail show me that this is a well-oiled machine. It was a long process involving demolition, tile, flooring, paint, cabinets, new shower, countertop, appliances, and more. If anything wasn’t perfect, they stayed with it until the job was correct. Customer satisfaction is important to Evershine Construction. Raymond Kim and Christopher So are excellent leaders. They are quick to respond to any concerns, and I’m really happy with the results! Without question, contract these folks with confidence for your next project!" Read more

Your Ceiling Fan Installation questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does it cost to install a ceiling fan?

Ceiling fan installation costs $250 to $700 to install a new fan and wiring. If you are simply installing a replacement fan, costs are much lower at $100 to $500 for the new fan and installation labor. The cost of the ceiling fan itself is a major component, with units ranging from $50 for basic modelsor up to $1,000+ for large, high-end models. Labor costs generally fall between $50 and $200, though this can fluctuate based on geographic location and the complexity of the installation.

Additional factors that can influence the total cost include the type of ceiling fan being installed (such as those with built-in lighting or remote controls) and the number of fans being installed at once. If new wiring, switches, or electrical boxes are required, this can add $200 to $400to the total cost. It's important to note that while DIY installation may seem tempting, hiring a professional is generally recommended due to the risks associated with electrical work and the need for secure mounting.

Is it hard to install a ceiling fan?

Installing a ceiling fan is generally considered a moderately easy DIY project for those with basic handyman skills. The difficulty level depends largely on the existing electrical setup and the type of fan being installed. If you're replacing an existing ceiling fan or light fixture with a new fan, and the proper electrical box and wiring are already in place, the installation can be relatively straightforward.

However, some important considerations can make the installation more challenging. If you're installing a fan where there was no previous fixture, or if the existing electrical box isn't rated to support a ceiling fan, you'll need to install a new fan-rated box and possibly run new wiring, which can be more complex. In that case, you might want to hire a professional to ensure safe and proper installation.

Do Home Depot and Lowes install ceiling fans?

Yes, both Home Depot and Lowes offer ceiling fan installation services using local third-party installers. This means that the availability, pricing, and experience of the installers can vary by location.

Who can install a ceiling fan?

Ceiling fan installation can be performed by a variety of professionals, each with their own level of expertise and specialization. For new installations requiring electrical wiring, licensed electricians are often considered the most qualified for this task. They have comprehensive knowledge of electrical systems and can handle any wiring complexities that may arise during installation. They are also well-versed in local building codes and safety regulations, ensuring that the installation meets all necessary standards.

General contractors and handymen with electrical experience may also be capable of installing ceiling fans, particularly for straightforward replacements or installations where existing wiring is already in place. A savvy DIYer may be able to perform a simple ceiling fan replacement.

How do I choose a ceiling fan installer?

When installing a ceiling fan where there previously wasn’t one:

  • Look for licensed electricians with the expertise to handle the electrical work safely and ensure proper installation.
  • Check for proper licensing and insurance. Make sure any professional you hire is licensed and insured to perform electrical work in your area.
  • Ask about experience with ceiling fan installation specifically. Look for someone who has installed many ceiling fans before.
  • Get multiple quotes. Compare pricing and services from 2 to 3 installers to find the best value.
  • Read reviews and ask for references. Check online reviews on HomeGuide and Google and ask for references from past ceiling fan installation customers.
  • Inquire about warranties. A reputable installer should offer some warranty on their work.
  • Discuss the full scope of work. Make sure the installer can handle any necessary electrical upgrades or mounting requirements.
  • Verify knowledge of local codes. The installer should be familiar with local building codes and regulations for ceiling fan installation.
  • Ask about their process for balancing fans after installation to prevent wobbling.
  • Discuss timeline and availability. Make sure they can complete the job in a timeframe that works for you.

What questions should I ask a ceiling fan installer?

Evaluate the installer’s qualifications by asking these questions:

  • Do you have experience installing ceiling fans?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • Can you provide references or reviews from previous clients?
  • What is the full scope of work for the installation?
  • Do you offer a warranty on your work?
  • How do you handle balancing the fan after installation?
  • Are you familiar with local building codes and regulations for ceiling fan installation?
  • Can you provide a detailed quote and timeline for the project?
  • Do you use specialized tools and equipment for ceiling fan installation?

Emington and his crew with Home Improvement were a pleasure to work with. And I want to start off by saying this house was in very bad shape. It might have been easier to knock this house down and rebuild. Home Improvement were professional with respect for the persons living in the house and neighbors that surrounded the area. Ermington’s crew works as a unit. The first time we met, Home Improvement gave me an estimate and the second time we met we discussed the details of the estimate. I was absolutely positive this house didn’t need a new roof. I couldn’t have been more wrong. In a blink of an eye the 4 men who came with Emington were grabbing their ladders and were now in the attic and on the roof of my house. As we talked Emington’s crew was sending him photos of the attic and roof damage. As we moved forward, I was blissfully unaware of what I wanted in colors and styles. Emington told me to drive around the neighborhood and look at siding and roof colors. Extremely good advice. I told him what I saw and from there he suggested what colors would complement each other. His crew replaced the roof first. There was no screaming or cross talking from the crew for the roof replacement. The siding was next. Same crew, same results. Excellent work and respectful. I noticed they paid attention to splices with the siding. Everything looked even with no gaps. The windows were next along with the air conditioning. The perfect plan was to bring each company to me for each project. Pella came in for the windows and showed me styles, designs, etc.… I never had to run around looking for what I wanted. There was no sales pitch and no one talked me into an upgrade. This also applied to the air conditioning. There was a timeline but because I worked in an environment where my clients always need a ship date, I was already prepared for delays and wrong products. I can assure you mistakes will happen to delay projects that are totally out of the contractor’s hands. But with Home Improvement, Emington took control and followed up on the issue right away. He would send me emails and updates. This was very much appreciated. There was also an emergency with my family and we had to put the entire project on hold for 30 days. Emington understood and he never gave me a hard time nor did he up charge me for lost time. Home Improvement and Emington and crew were very easy to work with. If I wanted to make a change, they would tell me honestly if that change would affect another room or if the cost was so far out of range I would decline. The crew was polite respectful, no cussing and they cleaned up after themselves. Emington’s crew also did little things to help us out. Took the battered trash cans and got rid of them for us, accepted delivers and so on. These things add up and, in the end, saves you time. At the moment, I decided to hire Emington and crew from Home Improvement to build a screened in back porch. My decision was based on his work and the art of his craft. I highly recommend Home Improvement as one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. This was not my first rodeo with a construction company to turn a house into home. This site was the first time I worked with a structure in ruin and Home Improvements turned it into a home. My highest recommendations go to Home Improvement, Emington and Crew. Emma Fox
