What we do
Ceiling Fan Jobs We Handle
From a simple swap to a two-story great room, we hang fans that stay quiet and steady.
Fan where there's nothing
We run new wiring and a switch to a room with no ceiling fixture.
Wobbly or noisy fans
We tighten, balance or re-mount fans that shake or click.
High and vaulted ceilings
Downrods and sloped-ceiling mounts for two-story rooms and great rooms.
Outdoor fans
Damp- and wet-rated fans for porches, pergolas and covered patios.
Separate fan and light control
Wall controls or a second switch so the fan and light work on their own.
Done right
Why a Fan-Rated Box Matters
This is the most common mistake we fix on fans someone else installed.
A ceiling fan is heavy and it moves. Most standard light boxes aren't built to hold that weight and motion. Over time, a fan on the wrong box can loosen, wobble and even fall.
- We check the box above every existing fixture
- We install a fan-rated box or a brace between joists when needed
- We confirm the circuit and wiring can support the fan and its light
- We balance the blades and test every speed before we leave
That's why we don't just swap the fixture. We make sure what's holding it up is rated for the job.
Pick the right fan
Ceiling Fan Size and Height Guide
A fan that's too small won't move enough air. One that's too big can feel like a wind tunnel.
| Room size | Typical blade span | Example rooms |
|---|---|---|
| Up to about 75 sq ft | 29 to 36 inches | Small bedrooms, offices, laundry rooms |
| About 75 to 144 sq ft | 36 to 44 inches | Bedrooms and kitchens |
| About 144 to 225 sq ft | 44 to 52 inches | Primary bedrooms, family rooms |
| About 225 to 400 sq ft | 52 to 60 inches | Living rooms, great rooms |
| Larger spaces | 60 inches and up, or two fans | Open-concept rooms, large porches |
Hang it at the right height
For comfort and safety, fan blades should sit high enough to clear heads and low enough to move air. In rooms with tall or vaulted ceilings, a downrod brings the fan down to where it helps.
Spin direction by season
In summer, set the fan to blow air down for a cooling breeze. In winter, reverse it on low speed to push warm air from the ceiling back down without a draft.
Controls
Wall Controls, Remotes and Smart Fan Switches
We wire your controls so the fan is easy to use every day.
Pull chains are easy to lose track of. Modern controls make your fan simpler to use.
- Wall controls for fan speed and light dimming on one plate
- Remotes for bedrooms and high ceilings
- Smart fan controls from Lutron you can set from your phone
- A second switch leg so the fan and light run on their own

Bathroom exhaust fans
Bathroom Exhaust Fan Installation
Not a ceiling fan, but just as important for your home.
Why it matters
Bathroom moisture leads to peeling paint, mildew and mold. A properly sized exhaust fan vented to the outside clears steam fast.
Many older Marlboro bathrooms have small, noisy fans that vent into the attic. We replace them with quiet units ducted outdoors.
Options we install
- Quiet exhaust fans sized to the room
- Fan, light and heater combo units
- Humidity-sensing and timer switches
- GFCI protection where the code requires it

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a ceiling fan replace my existing light fixture?
Usually, yes. We check that the box is fan-rated and install one if it isn't.
Do I need an electrician to install a ceiling fan?
A licensed electrician makes sure the box is rated, the wiring is right and the fan is balanced. It's also needed when new wiring or switches are added.
Why is my ceiling fan wobbling?
Loose mounting screws, an unbalanced blade, or a box that isn't fan-rated are the usual causes. We find and fix it.
Can you install a fan on a sloped or high ceiling?
Yes. We use the right downrod and an angled mounting kit for sloped and vaulted ceilings.
Can the fan and light work on separate switches?
Yes. We can add a wall control or run an extra switch wire so each works on its own.
Can I put a ceiling fan on my porch?
Yes, with a damp- or wet-rated fan made for outdoor use.
