"As our house was in desperate need of a paint uplift, I went to Angie’s List and saw Heniff Painting and Remodeling was at the top of the list for exterior painting in our area. I requested his service and Mr. Timothy Heniff responded the same day. He came out the next day, told us what he could do and gave us a reasonable price! After looking at a few other companies, we decided that Tim would be the best choice for a number of reasons – he had numerous fantastic reviews on Angie’s List, a great personality and his price was fair. He gave us a starting date, showed up and began work as promised. We have a huge house constructed of white brick with a white brick chimney, white siding and many windows. He power washed the whole house and the white brick looked brand new. He took his time in painting the house white, one side at a time, which included painting the windows, door trimming and exterior surfaces of two doors in the contrasting color. Finally, he replaced two wood floorboards on the deck and then painted it in the matching contrast color. As the contrast color looked so pretty, we asked him to paint the flower planters in the same color which he did for a small extra charge. Tim is such a good professional painter that you can tell he takes pride in his work and I must add that there were no paint drippings or splatters any where around or on the house! We just want to say that Tim did an awesome job on our house and deck! Our neighbors are constantly commenting on how beautiful our home is now. You can be assured that any future paint jobs we may have will be assigned to Heniff Painting and Remodeling! If he has other jobs ahead of our request, we will just wait. His service is worth waiting for!!!!!!!!! We are totally pleased with his work!!!!!!!!!"

"Like clockwork! I provided the fan and wall switch and they did everything else. They arrived on time; preformed the work quickly; were neat and cleaned up after themselves. The fan and switch look like they have always been there. I am VERY happy!"

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

The number of blades for your fan poses both advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the more blades on a fan, the better the air distribution and cooling effect, but this also means that your fan will have more wear on its motor. For small rooms, three-blade fans should work fine. For larger areas like living rooms, four or five-blade fans might be the better option. 

The direction your ceiling fan spins helps create comfortable airflow in your home and can also help cut down on energy costs. 

During summer, your ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise. This will push cooler air downward in a column and help lower your room’s air temperature. In the winter, set your ceiling fan to spin clockwise and at the lowest speed setting. This will pull cool air upwards, displacing the warm air that pools towards the top of your ceiling and bringing it down towards the floor.

A typical fan installation takes between two and six hours. The exact timeframe can be influenced by factors such as the home's structure, existing electrical characteristics, ease of attic access, and whether complex wiring or additional attic ventilation work is required.

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.

The most efficient ceiling fan height is 8 to 9 feet from the floor to the fan blades. For ceilings higher than 9 feet, a downrod can be used to lower the fan to the optimal height. This positioning ensures adequate air circulation and maximizes the cooling effect. Remember, fans should be installed at least 7 feet above the floor for safety.
