What we install

Fixtures, switches, and the things you swap, not rewire.

The trade line is clear: anything that connects to an existing box or switch leg is in scope. New circuits, panel work, and runs through finished walls are not — those go to a licensed electrician.

How it works

From fixture in the box to bulb in the socket.

01

Photo or text

Send a photo of the existing fixture (or the box if there's nothing there yet) and tell us what's going up. We can estimate most fan and fixture jobs sight-unseen.

02

Estimate

Written estimate with labor, any box-upgrade material if needed, and any switch-pairing time. Smart switches add a small line for app-config time.

03

Schedule

Once you approve, we book the visit — a real date on the calendar, Mon–Fri 8am–5:30pm. Multi-fixture jobs get a half-day set aside so nothing gets rushed.

04

Wire, mount, test

Power off at breaker, wires connected with proper terminals, fixture mounted, ground confirmed, breaker back on, every speed and switch tested.

Fixture pricing

Priced per job, in writing, before we start.

Every fan and fixture job is priced per estimate — fixed-price or hourly depending on the work. The fixture itself and any box-upgrade hardware are listed separately, so you see exactly where the money goes.

Fixture FAQ

What people ask about fans and fixtures.

For fixture-level work — replacing a fan, swapping a light fixture, changing outlets and switches — no, a handyman is the right trade. For new circuits, panel work, rewiring, or anything that involves opening up a wall to run new electrical, you need a licensed electrician. We'll tell you honestly which side of the line your project falls on, and we have a few Kalamazoo electricians we refer for the licensed work.
Most older Kalamazoo homes have light-only boxes that can't support a fan's weight or vibration. We replace the box with a fan-rated one — a small extra line on the estimate for the part and a few minutes of labor — and it makes the difference between a fan that hangs there for 15 years and one that loosens itself off the ceiling. We won't install a fan on a non-rated box.
Yes — Lutron Caseta, TP-Link Kasa, and most other smart switch brands. We wire them, configure the basic on/off, and walk through the app setup with you before we leave. For Lutron Caseta, we test the dimmer compatibility with your existing bulbs (LED dimmers can be picky) and swap bulbs if needed before declaring done.
If there's accessible attic space above the ceiling, sometimes — we can fish wire from a nearby switch, install a fan-rated box, and add a wall switch. This crosses into electrician territory if it requires a new circuit or significant wire runs through finished walls. We assess on a walkthrough and tell you whether it's a handyman job or something for an electrician.
Replacement (existing fan-rated box): about 1 hour. New install requiring a box upgrade: 1.5–2 hours. Multi-fan visits run faster per unit because we batch the prep — a four-fan install in one visit is typically 4–5 hours total. Each fan is balanced and tested on all speeds before we move to the next.
