Proper fan-rated boxes, professional bracing, and expert wiring. No wobbles. No callbacks. Just quiet, reliable ceiling fans.
A ceiling fan looks like a simple installation until you are standing on a ladder with the old fixture in one hand, an unfamiliar bracket in the other, and a junction box that was never rated for the weight you are about to hang from it.
That is where most ceiling fan jobs go wrong. The wiring is usually the easy part. The mounting is where the trouble lives — fan-rated boxes versus light-rated boxes, blocking between joists, the right bracket for the fixture, the right torque on the screws that keep it all overhead.
