A ceiling fan needs a fan-rated box, not a light box — that's the part most people find out the hard way. OSB installs and replaces fans throughout Plainville, including rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture at all.
“Office fit-out on a tight deadline. They worked around our contractor, hit every date, and the inspection passed first time.”
