"John came out and jumped right up on the roof.  I was worried that the roof was shot over the garage.  Within minutes, he sealed up a few spots where the shingles were worn from a old satellite dish, and then reassured me that the roof has several years before it needs to be replaced.  This is after I got a recommendation for a new roof by a different contractor.  He then commenced to clean out my gutters, re-positioned the gutter angle, and fixed a few  broken connections.  He also gave me a few recommendations for proper runoff of the gutters.

John then came in the house to install two bathroom fans.  Both bathrooms were missing fans when I purchased the home.  John warned me that I was creating a situation that is very mold-inviting.  He not only installed the fans, but he also did a remediation of the possible spots of early mold growth. Both my bathrooms and myself are breathing better these days.

At the end of the day, John showed me how my dryer vent on the outside of my house was offset to the dryer duct work.  He cut a new hole to properly align the duct work and then reconnected everything.  To finish off the day, John cleaned out my dryer vent and probably saved my house in the process; there was a lot of junk in that duct. :)

I would use Madison Insulation and Mold Remediation again; I will use them again, as this house needs a lot of help.  I don't care what the negative people say on this company and neither should you.  If you want a good person to bring back the safety and reliability of your home for years to come, give John a call."

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

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.

The most efficient ceiling fan height is 8 to 9 feet from the floor to the fan blades. For ceilings higher than 9 feet, a downrod can be used to lower the fan to the optimal height. This positioning ensures adequate air circulation and maximizes the cooling effect. Remember, fans should be installed at least 7 feet above the floor for safety.

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.

Stainless steel or aluminum fans are long-lasting and have less air resistance. They are best for outdoor use as their durability helps them withstand unpleasant weather conditions. Their heavy weight requires a stronger motor, which leads to more noise than other blade materials.

Wooden fan blades are a classic, durable option. They are much quieter than metal fans and feature a wide range of styles and finishes to choose from. However, they can be damaged by moisture if not covered with plastic.

Plastic fan blades are lightweight, easy to clean, and versatile. There are various shapes and styles to choose from as plastic is easily molded and dyed. They will also deteriorate slower than other materials as they aren’t as susceptible to humidity and moisture.

When choosing a mounting bracket, you have the option between flush mounts and downrod mounts. Flush mounts are the better option for low ceilings as they feature a lower profile. Downrod mounts are the optimal choice for rooms with high ceilings as they offer a pole that adjusts the height of the fan.
