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 Thorndike, including rooms that have never had a ceiling fixture at all.
“They found a loose neutral that had been slowly cooking our appliances for years. Nobody else even looked for it.”
“Fan on a vaulted ceiling that two handymen said couldn't be done. Right downrod, right box, level and silent.”
“They rewired our restaurant kitchen overnight so we never closed a single service. That mattered more than the price, honestly.”
Replacing a fan where a fan-rated box already exists is a quick flat-rate job. Adding a fan to a room with no fixture costs more because it needs a box, a switch leg and a cable run.
Yes. Sloped-ceiling adapters and the right downrod length keep the blades level and clear.

Yes, with a three-wire run or a remote/smart control if fishing a new cable isn't practical in your Thorndike home.
We do, using damp or wet-rated fans on GFCI-protected exterior circuits.
