Fans & ceilings in Charlotte
- Many 1990s Huntersville / Concord bedrooms still have light-only boxes — converting is the $259 brace class, not a $169 swap.
- Two-story foyers in newer South Charlotte builds need taller ladders; say so when you book.
- Humidity + daily AC use makes wobble show up fast; balancing after a DIY hang is a common $79 fix.
- Fort Mill SC spillover HOAs often want quiet hours for brace drilling — share gate codes and rules up front.
