Cost Estimate for Light Fixture Replacement

Usually the homeowner has chosen the light fixture and wants it to be installed by a handyman.

Anticipate an occasional surprise.  Sometimes the new fixture has a smaller profile on the ceiling and will leave an ugly ring requiring extra time for painting.  Another common problem is found when the old fixture is removed.  No mounting box!  Expect the unexpected on light fixture replacements.

Low estimate for labor and materials:
  • Misc. electrical
  • Labor 1 hour
High estimate for labor and materials:
  • Misc. electrical
  • Labor 1.5 hours

I am in Winder, Ga. To hang a light fixture would cost $50.00 for a replacement and up to $110.00 for a ceiling fan if we have to add supports.

I think that $50.00 to $75.00 is about right I`ll usually hall away, provide bulbs if not included.

It would be $60 for 1 hr min and usually can do more than one light in one hour

$95.00 plus materials. Unforseen problems causing additional work would be extra.
