Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Ceiling Fan Installation cost?

The average cost for Ceiling Fan Installation is $350. Actual costs vary based on project complexity, materials chosen, labor requirements, and your location. Get multiple quotes for accurate pricing.

How do I choose the right contractor?

Look for licensed, insured contractors with good reviews, local references, and transparent pricing. Get detailed written estimates from 3-4 contractors. Avoid door-to-door solicitors and unusually low bids.

What should be included in the estimate?

A complete estimate should include materials, labor, permits, cleanup, timeline, and warranty information. Be wary of estimates that seem too vague or don't itemize major components.

What payment schedule is standard?

Typical schedule: small deposit (10-15%) to start, progress payments at milestones (30-40% each), final payment (10%) after completion and inspection. Never pay 100% upfront. Large upfront demands signal risk.

How can I verify a contractor's credentials?

Check state licensing board, verify insurance with provider directly, search court records for liens/lawsuits, check Better Business Bureau rating, read recent online reviews across multiple platforms, and ask for client references from past 6 months.
