"Outstanding! Jason arrived promptly and respected my property by removing his shoes while indoors and laid down cloth to protect my floors. He cleaned up everything once he finished and left my house as he found it. Bonus....an electrician from a different company previously told me that one of my light fixtures attached to a fan would need to be re-built or replaced. I asked Jason to take a look and he quickly identified the problem and fixed it. Turns out a little switch on the socket had been turned off; I didn't need a re-build or replace after all. Jason saved me quite a bit of money and time and scored a few points. John has also worked at my house replacing an exterior ceiling fan on the porch - same great service and respect! Ashley handled the scheduling and she is friendly and pleasant to speak with. My schedule is a little tricky at times and she worked diligently to schedule Jason and John when it worked best for me. By far the best electrical company I've worked with; I highly recommend!"

"We scheduled Fairway Electric to come out and install 6 ceiling fans and an electrical outlet. Brian did an amazing job and even helped us get through some things the builder forgot with certain brackets in our ceiling. Brian also installed a new outlet for a wine fridge the builder forgot too. One other thing I am very grateful is that I had Brian look at our septic tank (this is a new construction house) and the electricians before wired the thing incorrectly and was filling up and we didn't even know it. Given the reputation of our custom home builder I had him take a look and he fixed the wiring which fixed our pump...THANK GOD! The only thing left to fix is an alarm float which the septic people are coming out to replace. Thank you so much for your help Brian..."

"I don't know where to begin.  The patio was an ugly flat cracked round slab of aging concrete, which I attempted to landscape in an effort to improve the area.  Lets say it was just OK.
In comes Clive and his team.  Magic 
The design was so lovely and couldn't believe what he was going to do for us after we had interviewed several contractors, they paled in comparison to what Clive was offering. It was not a hard decision.  Outdoor Artisan surpassed our expectations. We wanted a Pacific Northwest feel to our arts and craft style home and he delivered and successfully captured that feel to our North Carolina home!
Clive will during the construction process, create extra special touches or decide on a different approach. Giving him the creative license to do that in my humble opinion was the right choice.  As I myself had trouble really knowing what I wanted.
There was a lot of custom work done, the fire pit is a work of art and will hate burning wood in it but I will :) 
The bubbler is a serene refreshing place that accents the fire pit and boulders.  Earth, Fire and Water.  Perfect.
The choice in trees and plants I could not have chosen any better.  The Plum trees and Coral Bark Japanese Maple accent each other and break away from the overload of green in our yard.  The plants also accentuate the colors of the trees with a variety of dark plums and fiery yellow shrubs and blooming plants that accent the surrounding areas with pops of color.   Clive expertly arranged all the lighting elements to accent the various trees, boulders, water feature, pergola and patio step riser.  The place looks amazing in the dark. I can decide what is my most favorite time of the day.
A fan shaped pergola was created with accents of the same artistic stone work just under the supporting beams with an overhead fan and accent lighting on the stone bases.
The team was so proactive, thoughtful and helpful though out the process.  For us it was our first major home project and Clive
exercised a lot of patience with all our questions; always kind and considerate and communicated on a daily basis with any updates to the day.  
Thank you Clive and entire team.  You guys are truly the best.  We will enjoy our backyard for the years to come and would not
hesitate in recommending Outdoor Artisan to anyone who wants something special and very well done.
We now have a Sunset Magazine style outdoor retreat."

"I am comfortable with minor wiring projects (hanging a ceiling fan, installing a new light fixture in an existing spot), but new wiring is not something I'm willing to do.  When I removed my old OTR, I realized that the job was beyond me.  I'd used MI in the past, called them up, and got a team out to the house within a few days.  They were in and out quickly, and did the work well.  I will absolutely use them again.  Thanks!

"We own numerous homes and commercial investments and have dealt with many subcontractors :BNM Painting are the best painters we have ever dealt with. They made repairs to vaulted ceilings that had developed shrinkage cracks over time, and cleaned and repainted everything. Mary has a keen eye for needed repairs and paint methods and Brian is a true craftsman ...very professional . I highly recommend these folks for any painting projects you may have.

"2 electricians, Steve and Travis, arrived promptly, discussed the work I requested, offered suggestions, then provided a written estimate. They took accurate measurements of the new location for the interior ceiling fan before getting parts from the electrical supply store (A-frame ceiling with little clearance for blades). They returned in less than half an hour and installed everything exactly as I asked. The job turned out better than I hoped. Very satisfied. Steve recommended installing arc fault circuit breakers in the circuit panel box, a new code requirement for 2008. He suggested I research on the internet for more detailed info if I thought I might be interested. He also provided detailed info on a whole-house surge protector when I asked about it. Both Steve and Travis seemed very knowledgeable and thorough. They were both very friendly and professional. Also, I called this company on fairly short notice and was surprised they were able to send someone out so quickly. Seems they have a large enough staff to get the work done when you need it. I've put these guys at the top of my list for electrical work. Ask for Steve and Travis."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

In short, no. You can use the square footage range chart in this article to determine the right size ceiling fan for both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, weather elements can damage types of ceiling fans that aren't designed for outdoor use, so your ceiling fan should be weather-resistant if you plan to install it outside.

Whether you can install a ceiling fan yourself depends on if you're replacing an existing fixture or installing one where no wiring exists. If you are replacing an existing fan, an experienced DIYer may be able to do the job, which can save on labor costs. This work typically doesn’t require a permit, but there’s always a safety risk when dealing with electrical components, so hiring a pro is still a good idea, especially if you aren't handy. Keep in mind you may need a special ladder for high or vaulted ceilings. However, if you are installing a new ceiling fan where there is no current fixture, you must hire a licensed electrician. In most areas, it is required by law that a professional runs new wiring and pulls the necessary permits. Attempting to install wiring yourself can be dangerous and a code violation.

Installing a ceiling fan where no wiring exists is a difficult and potentially dangerous job that should not be attempted as a DIY project. It is recommended to hire a certified electrician to build the necessary electrical infrastructure. In some areas, building codes require this work to be done by a professional to ensure safety and compliance. Due to the complexity, this type of installation is a significant job that could cost up to $2,000.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

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.
