I am a small independent contractor in business since 1984.
"Hired Mike to paint four rooms. 1st two days everything went well. By the third day he fell behind schedule. The last day he rushed through everything and didn't properly finish. He ran out of paint and didn't completely cover the walls. Plus he didn't paint behind the toilet or behind the washer/dryer. Very unprofessional. You pay a professional price and you expect a professional job."

Chandelier installation requires between one and four hours based on project complexity. Simple fixture replacements with existing wiring and adequate support might finish within an hour, while installations requiring new wiring or structural reinforcement could extend beyond half a day.
Installations in challenging locations like high ceilings or stairwells take longer to complete safely. Your electrician should provide a time estimate after evaluating your specific installation requirements.
Professional electrician installation is highly recommended for chandelier projects. Qualified electricians ensure proper electrical connections, verify structural support adequacy, and maintain compliance with building codes. While replacing a simple fixture might seem straightforward, improper installation can create safety hazards and potentially void insurance coverage. Professional installation includes comprehensive services like fixture testing, workspace cleanup, and proper disposal of packaging or old fixtures.
When determining chandelier placement, consider practical clearance requirements—30 to 36 inches above tables and seven feet above floor surfaces. Evaluate your ceiling's structural capacity, access to existing wiring, and the visual proportion between your fixture and the surrounding space.
Consider lighting functionality, as chandeliers provide ambient rather than task-specific illumination. For dining areas, select fixtures approximately one-half to two-thirds of the table width. Remember that installation costs increase significantly for stairwells or elevated spaces.
To assess your ceiling's weight-bearing capacity, examine your current electrical box type and mounting system. According to manufacturer specifications, weight capacities vary significantly between standard and reinforced mounting systems.
Chandeliers exceeding standard weight limits require specialized mounting hardware and possibly structural reinforcement. When uncertain, consult a licensed electrician who can evaluate your ceiling structure, identify joist positions, recommend appropriate reinforcement methods, and ensure your installation meets both electrical and structural safety requirements.
