"I purchased a 30 year old lake house and all of the original sliders had lost their seals and were cloudy. only one of the sliders operated correctly. since the lake view was the focus the doors all opened to the view. I wanted french doors but Darrell suggested the french sliders for price and function and to save floor space. They were a great choice. He also chose matching windows that are nearly the same size as the doors for some of the openings since there were 4 doors originally in the same room. The look is stunning and none of the view was sacrificed. The openings were not the same as the original openings were so there was exterior and interior wall replacement and patching to be done around the windows.
The house also had LAMINATE flooring on the ceilings! Since the main floor great room opened to the other rooms on the floor all of the ceilings had to be replaced.. I was looking for the cottage look so we went with tongue and groove, painted white, with beams in the larger room. The new ceilings and the new doors and windows have transformed this house. Mr fix it had also replaced the two baths in the house earlier in the summer so the house has become so much more than what it was when I bought it.
I have received estimate to replace some of the decks as well and I plan to do so after my finances have had a chance to recover.
I have enjoyed working with the crew at Mr. Fix It. Darrell has some great employees and most have been with him for years.
My job was completed on time with few problems. After completion I complained about the outside siding where the windows were replaced and he sent a crew out to make it right.
I feel that Darrell Dunn truly cares about the finished product and even more about his customers satisfaction and I look forward to working with him in the future .

"The furnace took 4 days to get approved( not counting a Sunday) the others were quick but the water heater had to be ordered so without hot water for a week. One ceiling fan was easy but within a year their policy changed and They would not install the one I purchased and had to get a new one approved and then ordered online and took several weeks to get straightened out. Not sure who was at fault, AHS, installer or scheduling with renter. Fee is usually $75 per visit"

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.

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.

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.

Yes, ceiling fans come with a few other features that help with function, style, and convenience. Multi-speed fans can give you specialized control over the airflow. Consider getting one with an integrated light to save ceiling space. Some ceiling fans come with a remote control that enables you to change direction without climbing a ladder. Of course, you can also consider installing a wall switch to enjoy that convenience.

Many ceiling fan mounts feature a design that can accommodate slight slopes by using a ball joint mechanism at the end of the downrod. If your ceiling has a steeper slope than your fan allows for, you can install a downrod that will allow your fan to safely hang below the slope.
