"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 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.

Keeping dust off fans can keep them working optimally and help keep dust mites or bacteria from building up. Dust fans weekly with a duster, microfiber cloth, old pillowcase, or vacuum attachment. You can also try spraying a clean fan with a store-bought dust-repellent product or making a DIY dust-repellent with water and a small amount of liquid fabric softener mixed in.

If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. Building permits are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.

Most ceiling fans have a lifespan of anywhere from five to 15 years or 10 years on average. Just how long your ceiling fan lasts depends on the quality of the parts, how much it’s used, and how well you maintain it. A fan with a weak motor that runs on the medium setting nonstop is likely to have a shorter lifespan compared to a fan with a powerful motor that runs on the slowest setting for air circulation.

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.
