"Great. We have been using Chris for quite a while. For our outdoor lightning needs and also internet wiring. Would definitely recommend his company. They have been great to work with."
"Fairfax Antenna did an amazing job! In 2 1/2 hours they hooked up three new rooms, were very creative in threading the antenna wires through closets and under rugs so no holes were made in our walls and added a booster to our outside roof antenna. We now get tons of stations -- even Baltimore! I can't say enough about their professionalism, creativity and adherence to keeping the work area clean. I wouldn't call anyone else!"
"I had hired an electrician in the past to replace an outside electrical box and was surprised to learn that the industry average for any home visit was a flat $300. When I saw the Angie's List special $99 for $200 worth of work, I jumped on this great deal. I only had two minor issues to resolve...I had recently replaced the light bulbs on the front porch lights and with a couple weeks one stopped working, I assumed there was a loose wire. The tech removed the fixture and determined the connections were good and only needed to replace the bulbs. And I had a light switch in the kitchen that was not working, the tech replaced the switch. When the work was complete the tech told me that I exceeded the $200 worth of work and his flat fee for the work performed was $279, plus $5 for the switch. I ended up paying an additional $84 for this deal. "
"After doing our homework, my wife and I selected Mega Kitchen and Bath for complete remodels of our master bath and hall full bath. We could not have made a better decision as the entire process was flawless. Katherine, a Certified Interior Decorator, was so patient and helpful with our selections. Felipe, the project manager, came by almost every day. Not that he needed to, because the installers (Johnny and Grover) were courteous and extremely hard working. The project was completed on schedule and the quality of the work was such that we did not have any punch lists items once the baths were completed. I would recommend Mega Kitchen and Bath in a heartbeat. You can’t go wrong."
"George and his crew did a great job upgrading my basement bath with a new sliding glass tub door and tub/shower fixtures. They also did electrical work in my kitchen, adding a new outlet. They were on time, hard-working, honest, polite, and did exactly what I needed. I feel they went above and beyond & will definitely call them again for future work!"
"Marshall and his crew are professional, brilliant and true craftsmen, they bring a lifetime of experience, knowledge and wonderful insight. From the moment the project began Marshall and his team kept us up to date on the progress and process. I have complete trust in Marshall and he often provides suggestions that end up saving time and money, he is a true class act. We had them install cork flooring in an outdated carpeted bedroom, they created a kitchen cabinet/counter and dishwasher island to expand the utility of our small kitchen. The touches they added such as wine racks and custom built cabinets made a huge difference and give the kitchen practicality, functionality and style. They even worked to help us convert a large hall pantry into a powder room, from the fixtures, to the plumbing, Marshall ensured everything was spot on!"
"The work was done quickly and professionally. They remodeled two bathrooms in approximately two weeks. We couldn't be happier about the finished product or the value we received for our money."
"It went well, mostly. The contractor made suggestions based on unforeseen issues, and it came together. My only complaint is with the location of the fixtures. In one bathroom I replaced one large single fixture with two fixtures and asked for them to be centered over the sinks. Rather than centering each fixture over each sink, he centered them within the span of the sinks. Yikes! I chalked it up to my instructions not being explicit enough. "
Chandelier Installation questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on fixture type, wiring complexity, and labor rates.
Yes, recessed lights can be installed in a bathroom and are a popular choice for several reasons. Recessed lights have a compact, flush-to-ceiling design, which makes them ideal for providing ample light and modern style in bathrooms without taking up too much space.
Also, because recessed lighting sits in a housing inside the ceiling, it makes it a safe, watertight lighting option for your shower. Just make sure they’re wet- or damp-rated before you install them in your bathroom.
The light that your ceiling light gives off will largely depend on the type of light bulb that’s installed in it. If you’re looking to brighten a dark room, LED bulbs are the way to go. LED bulbs will emit the most light while also using less energy than standard bulbs. They can last up to 50,000 hours and will need to be replaced much less often than standard bulbs.
Installing a light fixture usually takes about one to two hours for a standard ceiling-mounted fixture, and longer for more extensive installations. The installation time can vary depending on the type of fixture, whether you’re installing a new fixture or replacing an old one, and any additional wiring or drywall work required to finish around the new fixture. When hiring an electrician to install your light fixture, ask them to provide a time estimate based on the specifics of your project.
The distance from the dining table to the bottom of the chandelier's droptop is essential when hanging your light fixture. For example, the fixture should hang 30 to 36 inches above the table for an 8-foot ceiling. If your ceiling is higher than the standard eight feet, add three inches of chandelier height for every foot of ceiling height.
