"James came out and did an energy audit on the house. He was pleased with what I had already done but suggested radiant barrier and the solar fans as good additions to the whole picture. After discussing it I also added the access ladder to the attic. It had an opening but no ladder and I wanted it for easier access. Carl scheduled it and came with the crew who installed the radiant barrier and the insulation. Carl stayed and replaced sheetrock and they prepared it for painting. Came back the next day and finished the job by adding the two solar fans after sanding the putting on more mud on the sheetrock repairs. Once it dried he painted it. He came at 2 on the second day and did not leave until he finished at 5. I hope he made it to his child's program which was at 7. He did a very good job. I really appreciate the work James, Carl and Brooke did to keep the job on track. Brooke made sure communication was good between all everyone and the job went smoothly.
Thank you. I would recommed them to anyone who wants this done. "
"I really wanted to provide a good review to these guys if only for the repeated effort they put in trying to get it right. Once the owner started to blame me and my house for the struggles they had, I decided I needed to write an honest review. So I have a house that was built around 2000 and it has rolled on texture and stamped ceiling texture that is applied using spackling compound. This is very common in this area and prior painters have had no problem matching it. In this case the crew admitted to me they were not professional painters, they did not to keep the area neat (drips on carpet, stain on pool cool deck (photo), stain on garage wall (photo), muddy boot prints on stair carpeting (see photo), etc,), they could not create a straight line in corners where two paint colors merge (see white/blue paint photo), and did not know how to texture. The wall texture had to be done over three times - that is literal. I showed them how to do it. They eventually got that fairly well figured out. The ceiling was another story - the area that had a sheet rock repair was retextured 5 times over three visits (see white ceiling / gray wall paint photos). At first it was totally terrible and I had to tell them what ceiling texture stamping tool to buy from Home Depot (pretty much the main one they sell). One painter told me he watched utube to try and figure out how to use that tool but did not have any experience with texture. He was not satisfied with his own work, to his credit. Finally the owner came and redid it. I was dismayed to find how rough it looks. I have hired someone to re do it. I can not recommend this company. If you do hire them, don't pay up front like I did."

"It was good, they showed up on time and did the job. They were quick and efficient. We needed a plug thing and then the connection was bad so he fixed that circuit or light, and the plug in the bath in the bedroom, the light turned on the wall plugs but we wanted it turn on the fan so to switch that around. We've used him before and he did a good job that time and so we called him again."
"Jose and his wife are extremely responsive and attentive to details. Every call was answered timely. If Jose could not reach me by phone, Sandra would email me (which I access on my phone, as well). Jose pointed out all the "extras" that arose as the job unfolded and which is bound to happen with such jobs. For instance, when we opened up the ceiling, we found a broken 2x4 had to be replaced and another one was rotted from a previous leak. There were literally a dozen such surprises along the way. No one likes to spend money on things that are invisible BUT they are all necessary. An incorrectly wired stove exhaust fan in the attic is a fire hazard if left uncorrected, for example. Jose's team of 3-4 guys worked for more than two weeks, often for ten hours a day. They left the home as clean as could reasonably be expected which I appreciated since it is never fun living through a renovation. I did not actually seek competitive quotes when I contracted for this job. I simply went by the reviews of others on Angie's List and liked what I read. So, I cannot state without a doubt that I got the job done in the cheapest way possible. I CAN say that I got the BEST job that I think I could have gotten and it was delivered from a contractor who is reliable, responsive and professional. I am a totally satisfied customer and love my house again. "
"These guys are awesome. Mark (the owner) is a hillarious guy. Tons of personality. I loved having them in my house, although they were here for a loooong time (we ended up going out and bringing back some lunch for them). They cleaned my ducts alright, but they also replaces a couple rusty grates, cleaned all the others even repainting a couple, cleaned ceiling fan blades and DUSTED MY ENTIRE HOUSE. Mark said if he didn't do that, we'd never be sure if their work, well, worked. He showed me the right way to make sure my air filter seated properly (mine was wrong) and helped me tell when the filters needed to be changed. He even showed me where I could get some of those old-school aluminum-framed fiberglass furnace filters. He took me up into the crawl space and opened my AC components, explaining where mold and mildew gather, showed me my dirty coils before and after cleaning them, and even checked my condensate drip pan and line! They left us in a sparkling clean house, with spotless vents and beautiful registers. It was months before we had to dust again, and the whole house just stays cleaner now. Mark also runs a limousine company and rents an office building full of lawyers. I will be calling him for any of my future air duct/legal/limousine needs... "
"It took a few trips due to limited supplies but he completed the roof repair quickly and matched the ceiling texture and color to perfection. If I did not know where to look for the repair, it would be undetectable. I know that the work he did is correct and will cause me no problems going forward. He is pleasant, courteous, communicates easily and knows exactly what he is doing. It is a real pleasure working with him."

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.
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.
To convert a ceiling fan to wireless, you’ll need to install a canopy module to access the lighting and fan controls. Many options are available, all of which help you control specific elements of your ceiling fan, so you have plenty of choices depending on your needs.
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.
Coffered ceilings often come with additional embellishments and accessories, including tin panels, medallions, trim, molding, recessed lights, and finials. Whether you’re looking for a simple grid pattern or want an elaborate, decorative ceiling with all the bells and whistles, there are plenty of options to choose from.
