"I bought my unit from NETR in 2018. It worked fine until we discovered it wasn't blowing any cold air. I made the big mistake of hiring someone a family friend recommended and they diagnosed it incorrectly and then basically disappeared on me. Anyway, it took a few weeks but they repaired it today and I was impressed with their courtesy and getting the job done very quickly and successfully. I felt like I was being dealt with honestly. Thanks, Jared and Jack. I should mention I paid about $300 for the refrigerant today. I don't know what the final cost will be but probably a bit over $1000."

"Overall the job went pretty smoothly and the finished product looks great. I worked with Jane, from Superior, to remodel our primary bathroom. We knew what we wanted and everything was pretty straight forward so the process went well. The part I liked best was that they were a small business run by a husband and wife team who did all of the work themselves. Also they said they would work with us if we wanted to purchase our own fixtures. I have a relative in the bathroom fixture business so I had already picked out a tub and vanity that I wanted. I was also able to get the granite for the counters through that same relative. The only reason that they got a B rating was that a few minor issues cropped up and I think some of them were due to the fact that they were a little overwhelmed with the amount of work they had. I was the last job they took on and they were not even giving quotes for a few months because they were so booked. Also, Jane and Brendon were in the middle of moving their own home when they started my job so I think that distracted them as well.
From the onset of the job I could tell that Superior would be good to work with.  Jane, the owner, took care of the whole quotation process and was pretty detail oriented. Once the job was started things went fairly well. We had a issues but nothing huge. I had an entire wall that was mirrored that I did not intend to replace but it was broken during the tear out of the old cabinets and granite counters. Unfortunately that snow balled into having to skim coat that wall and replace the mirror and light fixture which was a part of the mirror. Then they found some rot issues in the tub area which was not completely unexpected, but Brendon, Jane's husband, was the lead carpenter so he fixed the problem.  Greg, their tile guy was awesome, he did a great job with the tile design and layout. Once he got all of the tile done and the bathroom was almost complete a few little things still were not done and I didn't know what the schedule was to complete the job.  The tiling was done and the bathroom looked great and worked, but some of the finish items still needed to be completed.
I contacted Jane because 2 days had passed  and I wasn't sure if I could use the bathroom. I wasn't sure if the grout had been sealed or even when they would be coming back to finish. This was not a big deal because I assumed we were just waiting for the grout to dry. Since the hardboard was still down in the hallway I knew they were not finished yet but I was looking to find out when they would be done. The new mirror had not be hung, the baseboard tile was not installed nor was the shower rod. At this point, Jane told me that they were not expecting to do the baseboard in tile but if I wanted them to do it  that would be an extra charge. I told her that I assumed it was included with the tile job because they had removed a tile baseboard that was there originally. I also pointed out  there was no mention of a tile baseboard in the quotation even as an extra item that could be added so obviously I thought it was included. We came to a compromise and the baseboard was done. During the time between getting the baseboard finished and the tile sealed I started to notice mold on the grout between the tub and the shower (it was only about week ). I called Jane again and Brendon came out to remove the caulking and replace it with silicone caulk. Sadly, Brendon put a gouge in the tub while removing the caulk and he had to have someone come out and repair the tub. Brendon was also the one that installed the baseboard tile which I noticed did not match the floor tile. I showed Brendon the difference between the 2 tiles (the floor tile is a mottled rustic look and the baseboard tile that Brendon installed is a smooth finish. When I originally picked out the tile there were 2 very similar tiles one with a smooth finish and one with the rustic finish) and he said he would talk to Jane about it. The colors of the 2 tiles are very similar but if you look at them you can tell they are 2 different tiles. I never heard from Jane about the issue so I finally called her.  I was just a little disappointed that no one bothered to tell me if they even checked with the tile supplier to see which one was purchased and installed. After I explained the difference to her and said that I was "alright" not pulling it up because no one would notice unless they looked closely at the 2 tiles it still would have been nice to know whether or not the correct tile was installed.
fix the issue. I just have to say that it seemed like a lot of little issues cropped up but I would definitely use them again.

"So Many Problems!! (though they tried hard to resolve them) Do NOT make the mistake we did and let them talk you out of pulling a permit. The work by this contractor should definitely be inspected. MA Design quoted a low price, used cheap (Home Depot grade) materials, and relied on workers with limited English skills. Plumbing and carpentry were problematic, seemingly due to inadequate training for some workers, spotty communication and quality control from supervisors, and some sloppy attention to detail. We should add that our foreman, John L, and the workmen were willing enough to fix problems after we discovered them, though we had to pay for time and materials when we found MA Design’s quality standards to be unacceptable. The end result of the bathroom remodeling seems OK and we hope that no more nasty surprises turn up in the future. The two supervisors are generally courteous and anxious to please, but poor communication with their workers and sometimes with us seemed to be typical for this contractor. Here are specific examples of our problems: PLUMBING 1. The plumber (apparently not licensed) installed the wrong shower controller in the wall, tiled over the wall, then tried to hide this mistake by sticking on the control handle taken from the shower controller we had specified. Of course, the controller did not work properly and we discovered what had happened by poking through the unused shower parts and calling the manufacturer. To correct this error, MA Design had to cut a hole in the plaster wall of our hallway. MA Design did repair the plaster but now we have an additional painting job because of their mistake. 2. We also discovered that their “plumber” tried to attach the tub spigot to flexible PEX tubing rather than to a solid copper pipe anchored to a stud in the wall. The spigot worked loose in just a few days. No qualified plumber would have made such a rookie mistake. Repairing this error also required the hole in our hallway wall. Clearly, no qualified supervisor inspected the plumbing before the tile went up in the shower enclosure. 3. Just 2 months after MA Design wrapped up the work, we found a serious water leak coming from the ceiling below the remodeled bathroom. This ruined the ceiling and of course ruined the paint job we had just completed in the room below the leak. To their credit, the supervisor quickly came out, cut a hole in the ceiling, and replaced a flawed PEX tubing fitting with a quick-apply fitting to stop the leak. MA Design then cut away large sections of water-damaged ceiling in two rooms, let things dry out for a few weeks, and applied mold-kill spray to address the mold that had formed. It seems that a fitting on the PEX tubing was not properly crimped. This reinforced our belief that the MA Design workers doing plumbing on our job were not well qualified and that MA Design did not choose to or did not know how to inspect work adequately. Several weeks later, MA Design eventually had the joint repaired by a licensed plumber and repaired the holes in the ceiling. 4. The shower enclosure tiling was done OK for the most part but we found holes in the grout around some tiles. We suspect that the grout job was substandard for another reason: the grout sealing the tub to the floor is cracking and flaking after only 2 months. CARPENTRY 5. We replaced the bathroom window with a safety glass window but MA Design replaced the prior window trim and window sill with lesser quality trim and no window sill whatsoever. This was a complete mismatch with the rest of the house. MA Design quoted use of “standard” trim. If MA Design’s estimate assumed replacing trim with something so obviously out of place with the rest of the house, this should have been clearly stated in the quote. We ended up paying to rip out their trim and replace with trim that matched the rest of the house. In fact, the lumberyard’s “standard” trim exactly matched the trim elsewhere in the house so we felt that MA Contracting’s use of “standard” to describe their materials was deceptive. 6. They also installed a new window in an adjacent room. They made the exterior windowsill out of a very knotty piece of pine, inviting future rot. Even worse, no drip edge was cut into the underside of the sill, which could lead to water wicking under the sill and getting into the exterior siding. No well qualified carpenter would have made a mistake like that. PAINTING 7. MA Design did very little painting for us, just some primer application after drywall installation. Still, the workman on our job made a rookie mistake. He applied primer to a repaired ceiling with a rough wall roller and then applied primer to the doorway trim with that same roller rather than with a brush or smooth roller. The result: the formerly smooth doorway trim now had a rough, thick layer of paint that looked and felt awful. It took us 2 hours of sanding to restore the doorway trim to a smooth surface. This experience reinforced our general impression that many, if not most, MA Design workmen are not properly skilled or trained for the work they are doing. COORDINATION & COMMUNICATION 8. We agreed at the outset which fixtures were to be bought by MA Design and which by us, but MA Design sometimes bought the wrong items, which resulted in confusion and delays. In many cases, we ended up buying the needed fixtures ourselves just to keep the project moving. 9. On at least 10 days, workers were expected but none showed up and MA Design did not call to inform us of this in advance."

FAQs for ceiling fan repair projects in Boston, MA

Maintain ceiling fans by cleaning them. They have sealed bearings so they don't usually need any type of lubrication. You'll want to dust the blades regularly, using a vacuum cleaner to get into inaccessible areas. You may want to remove the light cover and clean it out and any exposed areas for dust. You may need to use a wet cleaning solution of some kind, particularly on fans near kitchen areas, where grease buildup mixes with dust to create grime that can destroy your fan.

Common reasons include worn-out components from constant use, loose or faulty wiring, accumulated dirt and grime interfering with moving parts, electronic component failure, and physical damage from impacts. Motor capacitors may fail after years of operation, causing intermittent function or complete failure. Bearing issues can create excessive friction that eventually freezes the motor. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues.

When a ceiling fan’s motor capacitor fails, it interrupts the essential electrical flow required for the fan’s proper operation. The capacitor is a compact but critical component responsible for initiating and regulating the power surge during startup and continuous operation. Without a functioning capacitor, the fan loses momentum, may experience stuttering speeds, and ultimately ceases to operate completely. Replacing the capacitor immediately restores the normal electrical balance, ensuring that the fan operates safely and efficiently while maintaining its intended airflow and performance levels.

Ceiling fans typically last between five and 15 years, averaging 10 years. Factors affecting lifespan include usage frequency, quality of materials, and routine maintenance. Environmental conditions also impact longevity. Ceiling fans installed in humid bathrooms or outdoor settings generally deteriorate faster than those in climate-controlled living spaces. Regular cleaning and prompt repairs can extend a fan's life and maintain its performance.
