Hello everyone! Thank you for visiting my website. I love what I do, and I hope you do too! I log in and update this site from time to time to make sure the information you are reading is timely, and my current list of services is comprehensive. That way, I can continue to provide 5 star service (See my Yelp reviews) to my new and my existing clients!
Please note, I only do residential work. I do not provide service for any commercial properties.
What I accel at:
Ceiling Fans, Ceiling Fans, Ceiling Fans!!! I am the expert! No one has done more of them than me!!! Well, I can't actually prove that, but I've done more than 3000 over the past 20 years!!! Call me first if you need those installed, diagnosed or repaired. Some fans just need a small repair. I can help you with that in many cases.
Comprehensive list of Services: (if you don't see it, ask)
- Indoor ceiling and outdoor ceiling/*patio fan replacement--all makes and models; with or without remotes. Ceiling height can be a factor. Please let me know the ceiling height in advance so I can come prepared or let you know if I can't do it due to height-of-ceiling limitations.

- Light bulb replacement. Yes: I do get those calls. People will call and tell me that they replaced the light bulb and ask me to check the fixture. Folks, remember: It's always the light bulb.....
*Consider postponing these outdoor tasks until spring or fall because some of these, although can be interior, may also require prep/assy/other outdoor steps to complete.
Please Note: I do not provide haul-off services for trash, old appliances of any kind or any type of debris. Please make arrangements in advance with your local refuse provider to handle the debris generated by larger jobs.
I do not install or replace fence posts, install attic ladder, do work which requires a folding ladder taller than 8 ft, any siding or facia work and lastly, I do not cut or work with any stone or cement (Like James Hardy Siding) as it generates stone dust which is unsafe to breathe.
Thank you sincerely,
