“The Handyman Company was great! We had 4 fans taken down and replaced with 3 new fans and 1 fandelier. Alex was great. He was professional and courteous and did the work relatively fast. Would gladly use the Handyman's services again!”
“He installed the ceiling fan in the master bedroom. He took time to show how the fan operates. He cleaned up his work area and more. The Handyman company has done work for me before and I will continue to use them for their services.”
“I am a return customer. Scott came out today to install an exhaust fan in my bathroom. He was quick and very knowledgeable in what he was doing. Was very meticulous in cleaning up after himself too. I love this company as they are quick in coming out with short notice.”
“The Handyman Company did a great job from beginning to end on the backsplash in my kitchen. Their communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would and their workmanship was incredible. I had talked to a few companies prior and it was like pulling teeth trying to get those guys to follow up. The Handyman Company is run like a company is supposed to be run. I have already booked them for another job on my house and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of work on their house.”
“Hi Brian, stop by and he was very helpful in solving my door problem thanks for your service”
“On time, price as quoted and went the extra mile. Easy and efficient. Would use the service again.”
“I needed several openings around outdoor lights sealed. They did an excellent job and it was reasonably priced. Very happy with their work!”
“Great service and the repair was done to my satisfaction.”
“Very prompt, helpful and thorough. It’s not cheap, but you get quality work”
“David Becerra and his crew are highly skilled and very hard working people. They are diligent, trustworthy and very competitive in terms of pricing. I recommend them.”
What We Handle
New Fan Installation
We hang your new fan at an existing fixture location, install a fan-rated box if the old one is not up to the job, and test every speed before we leave.
Fan Replacement
The old fan comes down, the new one goes up, and the box and mounting hardware get checked while the ceiling is open. The dead fan leaves with us.
Wobble & Noise Fixes
Wobble, clicking, and hum usually trace to loose mounts, bent blade holders, or balance. We find the cause and fix it instead of telling you to buy a new fan.
High & Vaulted Ceilings
Two-story foyers and vaulted great rooms need the right ladders, the right downrod, and an angled-ceiling mount. This is the install people call us for.
Outdoor & Lanai Fans
Covered porches and lanais need damp-rated fans built for Florida humidity. We install them so your outdoor room gets a breeze even in August.
Remotes & Wall Controls
We set up fan remotes and wall controls that come with the fans we install, so you are not yanking pull chains in the dark.
Standard Equipment, Hung Right
In Florida, a ceiling fan is not decor. It is standard equipment, one in every bedroom and the living room too, running most months of the year. A good fan lets you nudge the thermostat up and still sleep comfortably, and a bad one wobbles, clicks, and hums until you turn it off and sweat instead.
The Handyman Company installs and replaces ceiling fans across Florida with our own employee craftsmen, not subcontractors. We hang new fans where a fixture already exists, swap out tired ones, balance and quiet fans that wobble or rattle, and handle the tall and vaulted ceilings most homeowners rightly will not put a ladder under. Every fan goes on a fan-rated box, because a fan hung from a light-fixture box is a fan waiting to come down.
Bring us one fan or a fan for every room. The estimate is free, the price is in writing before we start, and the work carries our one year warranty.

Decisions to Make Before the Ladder Comes Out
A fan install goes right or wrong before the box is even opened. These are the choices we help customers get right on the phone.
Flush mount or downrod
Low ceilings need a hugger fan to keep blades out of head room. Taller rooms need a downrod that brings the fan down into the air you actually live in, because a fan hugging a high ceiling just stirs the space above your head.
Indoor or damp-rated
Lanai and porch fans live in Florida humidity all year. A damp-rated fan is built for it. An indoor fan hung out there rusts, pits, and starts wobbling within a couple of seasons, and we see the results weekly.
The box it hangs from
The one choice you cannot see from the floor. A fan must hang from a fan-rated box anchored to structure, and if your ceiling hides a light-fixture box up there, replacing it is part of the install, not an extra errand.
Pull chains, remote, or wall control
Decide how you want to drive the fan before install day. Remotes and wall controls that ship with your fan get set up as part of the job, and the right answer depends on who uses the room.
Built for Florida
Fans are how Florida stays livable
Most of the country runs ceiling fans a few months a year. Florida runs them from spring through the new year, and in South and Central Florida, close to year-round. That duty cycle wears out cheap fans and sloppy installs fast: bearings hum, mounts loosen, and the wobble that started small gets worse every humid month. A fan installed solid on a rated box just runs, season after season.
The lanai is the other Florida story. A screened porch without a fan is unusable from June through September, and an indoor-rated fan hung out there rusts and pits in the damp air. A damp-rated fan, properly mounted, is what turns the lanai back into the room you bought the house for.
How a Fan Install Visit Goes
- 1
Check what is up there
Power off, old fixture or fan down, and a hard look at the box and framing. This is where we catch the light-fixture box that was never meant to carry a spinning motor.
- 2
Set the right mount
A fan-rated box secured to structure, an angled mount where the ceiling is vaulted, and the downrod length matched to the room so the blades end up where the air is.
- 3
Hang and wire the fan
Motor hung, blades and light kit assembled square, and the connections made properly at the existing box and switch.
- 4
Balance and test
Every speed run, the light kit checked, remotes paired, and any wobble balanced out before the ladder folds up. A new fan should be boring to watch.
- 5
Leave the room clean
Packaging, the old fan, and every dropped screw leave with us. You keep the breeze and the receipt.

Ceiling Fan Installation: Common Questions
Can you replace a light fixture with a ceiling fan?
Yes, and this is where the fan-rated box matters. A standard light-fixture box is not built to carry a spinning fan, so if that is what is up there, we install a proper fan-rated box before the fan goes up. It is the difference between a fan that stays put and one that works itself loose.
Do I need an electrician for this, or is a handyman allowed to do it?
Installing or swapping a fan at an existing box and switch is squarely handyman work, and we do it every week. Running a new circuit, adding a switch leg where none exists, or anything at the panel belongs to a licensed electrician, and if your job crosses that line we will tell you before anyone touches a wire.
My fan wobbles. Does it need to be replaced?
Usually not. Wobble comes from loose mounting screws, a box that is not rated for a fan, bent blade holders, or blades out of balance, and all of those are fixable. We diagnose the cause and repair it, and we will only suggest replacement if the fan itself is worn out.
Can you hang a fan on my vaulted or two-story ceiling?
Yes. High and angled ceilings need the right ladder work, an angled-ceiling mount, and a downrod long enough to bring the blades into the air you actually live in. It is one of our most requested fan jobs precisely because it is the one homeowners should not attempt themselves.
How much does ceiling fan installation cost?
Ceiling height, the condition of the box up there, and the number of fans on the list decide the labor. We put one number in writing for the whole list before we start, and batching every fan into a single visit is how most customers get the best price out of us.
Do you supply the fan or do I buy it?
Either way works. Most customers pick out their own fans so they get exactly the look they want, and we install what you bought. Tell us the rooms and ceiling heights when you call 800-931-1106 and we will flag anything about your choices that will not work before you unbox them.
