New fans, replacements, and wobble fixes — hung on a proper fan-rated box, balanced so they don't shake, and wired to your remote or wall control. High and vaulted ceilings welcome. San Francisco, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
Tell us the room, ceiling height, and if there's an existing fixture. We reply within 24 hours.
Hung on a UL-listed fan-rated box wired for a secure, code-appropriate mount — not a standard light box that can't carry the load.
Out with the tired one, in with the new — reusing the existing circuit and switch where they're sound.
Combined fan-and-light units wired so the fan and light switch independently where the wiring allows.
Handheld remotes and wall-mounted controls set up and paired, including speed and dimming presets.
Correct downrod length and sloped-ceiling mounts for hills homes and lofts, with the right gear for the height.
Re-secured mounts, balanced blades, and a fan-rated box swapped in where the old box wasn't up to it.Minor / in-scope · new circuits & panel work referred to an electrician
Swapping or installing a ceiling fan at a spot that already has a ceiling electrical box is squarely handyman work, and it's one of our most-requested fixture jobs across the Bay Area. We handle the fan-rated box, the mount, the balancing, and the remote or wall control, and we do it at existing fixture locations in homes and rentals from San Francisco to Oakland, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, and down the Peninsula.
Where we draw the honest line: if there's no wiring at the spot you want the fan — meaning a new circuit, a new switch loop, or fishing wire across a finished ceiling — that's licensed-electrician territory, and we'll say so up front rather than take it on. Clear scope is why the price we quote is the price you pay.
Need the light fixtures done too? See light fixture installation, or the full list of 20 services. In the East Bay we're based in Oakland — see our Oakland handyman page.
Ceiling height, whether there's an existing fixture, and the fan if you've picked one. A photo helps.
A fixed quote within 24 hours, including a fan-rated box or downrod if the job needs one.
Mounted secure, balanced quiet, controls paired, and the old fan and packaging gone with us.
It depends on whether there's an existing fixture to swap, the ceiling height, and whether a fan-rated box or downrod is needed. A straight replacement at an existing fixture is quick; a high or vaulted ceiling takes longer. Tell us the room and ceiling height and we'll quote it upfront — estimates are free.
If there's already a ceiling electrical box we can usually swap in a fan-rated box and hang the fan. If there's no wiring or box at that spot at all — meaning a new circuit or fishing new wire through the ceiling — that's licensed-electrician work, and we'll tell you honestly and can point you to one.
Yes. High and vaulted ceilings are common in Bay Area hills homes and lofts. We use the correct downrod length and a sloped-ceiling mount where needed, and bring the right ladder or gear for the height. Send a photo and the approximate ceiling height.
Usually yes. Wobble is often a loose mounting box, an unbalanced blade set, or a box that was never fan-rated. We re-secure the mount, balance the blades, and swap in a fan-rated box if the original can't safely carry the load.
Either works. Most people pick the fan they want and we install it; if you'd rather we source one, tell us the room size and style and we'll include it in the quote. Have the remote or wall control on hand if it came separately.
