Like-for-like light fixture and ceiling fan swaps, dimmers, and smart switches installed cleanly and safely. Serving Hoboken homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
High ceilings are one of the best things about Hoboken's older housing stock — and one of the trickier things about hanging a fan from them. In brownstone floors Uptown, the original ceiling boxes were installed for lightweight fixtures generations ago, and many aren't rated to hold a spinning ceiling fan — code requires a fan-rated box, which often means replacing the box, not just the fixture. Older wiring may also lack a ground, which changes what can be installed safely. Down along the waterfront, newer condo buildings bring the opposite issue: concrete ceilings with fixed box locations, so fixture choice matters more than placement. We handle like-for-like swaps, dimmers, and smart switches cleanly, and we'll tell you upfront if what's behind the canopy needs an electrician rather than a handyman — that honesty is part of the job. A tip for renters and owners alike: photograph the existing wiring before any fixture comes down. It makes restoring the original at move-out, or troubleshooting later, far easier.
