Porch and entry lighting is the usual reason people in Palatine start this conversation: a lantern that has rusted, a porch light that is too dim, or an entry that needs a second wall light. Oakbridge Home Services (Somax Group LLC) also replaces ceiling fans, ceiling lights, and bathroom lights in Palatine, and we price each job from a description and photos so the mounting surface, the wiring already there, and the size of the fixture are all taken into account.

What the price depends on
We give a price only after a description and photos. Outdoor work depends on the mounting surface and whether the existing wiring and mounting can be reused; indoor work depends on fixture type, ceiling height, and the number of fixtures. A switch or dimmer change, removal of an old fixture, and any bracing for a heavier fixture are also part of the price.
To get a price in Palatine, send a description, photos of the mounting location and the current fixture, your ZIP code and address, and a phone number through the Get a Price page, or call (224) 584-5800.
