"I hired Landmark construction & energy crew for a 650 sq/ft. of living room addition. Before we hired them, we already had all the necessary plans on hand including all the secured building permits with the city. When it comes to workmanship and speed, I must admit that landmark construction was very fast while investing extra attention to perfection. All the teams of workers worked fast even when it came to fixes and adjustments. They replaced the wood floor with new engineered wood flooring, repainted the entire ceiling and one living room wall and blended new stucco on the exterior wall. The new addition required new foundation, framing, and window installation. We are thoroughly content with all the work that was completed by landmark construction & energy crew. 1) they made sure to cover everything all around the working area in order to prevent damages and extra work due to paint spots and dust from all the sanding. 2) They came to work on a daily basis and few times they skipped work BUT they made sure to confirm that 2 days ahead. This was very responsible from them to do. 3) Charlie the Project Manager was available and reached all the time. When he couldn’t talk or answered, he called within the hour. In regards to pricing… the price that we got from Landmark construction & energy crew was in the middle range. Charlie came over to the house several times to discuss about the details and the process of the project, and after that he start working on the estimate."

"I hired John Ford to patch cuts and holes in walls and a ceiling, all created when a plumber cut holes here and there looking for a leak. I needed the job done quickly since I had an assessor coming to the house for a ref. He swung by the day after I called, gave me a very reasonable quote and told me his background and experience before I even asked. We scheduled the job for two days later. The work was completed on time, and John did an excellent job – you’d never know it was patched, including the ceiling! He laid drop cloths before starting, and cleaned up afterward including vacuuming. While waiting for the mud on the patches to dry before the next step, he repaired a loose stairway handrail, and hung some racks for me in the kitchen.
John is very professional and concerned about doing the job right - he even used some special metal toggle bolts to hang the kitchen racks (instead of the plastic ones Ikea sold me) which he said would better support the heavy pans I wanted to hang, and explained why. The handrail is now screwed to studs, instead of nailed. Throughout the project, John talked to me about what he was doing and why, which I really liked.
John has many years experience in the construction industry and really knows what he is doing. He is very professional and concerned about doing the job right, and on time. I will definitely hire John again for other projects I am planning and some other fixes I need, and will recommend him to family and friends. I am thrilled to have found a great handyman, thanks to Angie's List.

"We did a small project with them to install wiring for a new ceiling fan. They were quick and did a great job. I appreciated that they tried to remove as little amount of sheet rock as they could to limit the amount of mess that was made. Overall great job,. Would hire again"

"Pete was very good fixing the problem. The pull chain broke off inside the unit. I took it apart and tried to fix it myself, but was not able to get to the unit with the chain....so much for being a home mechanic! Pete made one short stop here to get the unit apart. He didn't have a replacement part with him, and to save time I went to Fan Diego store for the replacement, and he installed it on another visit a few days later. Problem solved. He is very friendly and worked well. I am having him back soon to repair another ceiling fan that has quit working.

"I bought a 2 hour Angie's List deal hoping to get my outdoor lights repaired. I was hoping there would be enough time left to replace a broken ceiling fan as well. Mehran arrived on time and got to work right away diagnosing my outdoor lights. He came up with a plan to make them more efficient and pointed out potential problems to avoid. As soon as I pick up some supplies he'll put me on his schedule to complete that job. He then went right to work on replacing my ceiling fan. He was quick and cleaned up the mess from all the dust and put my room back to the way it was. He was very pleasant and professional. He finished within the two hour time frame so I did not have to pay any additional cost. I hope to be able to call Mehran soon so he can get started on replacing my outdoor lights."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

To determine if your ceiling box can support a fan, you must check if it is specifically fan-rated. Manufacturers are required to indicate this on the box itself. You may need to remove the existing light fixture to look inside the ceiling box for an inscription stating it is rated for fan use. If you do not see this confirmation, the box is likely not strong enough and must be replaced with a fan-rated junction box. For a proper and safe installation, you should also use a fan brace to secure the new box between the ceiling joists, which provides the necessary support for the fan's weight and motion.

Fan power is measured by CFM, or cubic feet per minute. For every 1,000 feet of square footage in your attic, you need a minimum of 700 CFM. Steeper roofs may need larger fans or about 840 CFM.  You can figure the size of attic fan you need by multiplying the square footage of your attic floor by 0.7. (multiply by 1.2 for a steep roof and 1.15 for a dark roof). That number is the CFM required for your fan to run efficiently.

Yes, you can install a ceiling fan where a standard light fixture is, as the electrical wiring is often similar and may not need to be replaced. The most important step is to ensure the ceiling can support the fan's weight and motion. You will need to replace the existing light fixture's electrical box with a fan-rated electrical box, which is specifically designed to handle the extra weight and vibration. These boxes will be labeled as suitable for ceiling fan support and will indicate the maximum weight they can hold. Before you begin, also consider if you need an extension rod for a high ceiling or a special mount for an angled ceiling.

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.

The square footage of your room will dictate the correct ceiling fan blade size. For example: 

  • Rooms smaller than 75 square feet require a fan that is 29 to 36 inches.

  • Rooms up to 175 square feet require 42- to 48-inch fans.

  • Rooms up to 350 square feet require 52- to 56-inch fans.

  • Expansive spaces over 350 square feet need a fan larger than 60 inches.
