Richardson Elite Patio Covers provides professional patio lighting & ceiling fans in Richardson, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Telecom Corridor. Lighting and fans go in last, and they are usually the first thing to reveal that the structure they are mounted to is not holding still.
A ceiling fan is a rotating mass on a rigid downrod. Hang one from a beam that is slowly racking because a post has settled and you get a wobble no balancing kit will cure, because the fan is not out of balance. The ceiling is out of level. We check the frame before anything gets mounted, and where the wobble is structural we say so rather than selling you a different fan and hoping.
Wiring on this housing stock is the other half of the job. Homes from the 1960s and 70s typically have no exterior circuit near the patio, no outdoor GFCI protection, and a service panel that is either full or old enough that a licensed electrician will want a conversation about it. Any honest quote for patio lighting on a house of that age includes the circuit, not only the fixtures.
On new structures we build, conduit goes in while the frame is still open. Fan boxes rated for the load, switched circuits, a dimmer on the perimeter run. Retrofitting a fan box into a finished aluminum ceiling afterwards is possible, and it is never as tidy as doing it in the right week.
What actually gets used: one fan for each seating zone rather than a single enormous one, warm colour temperature under a timber or wood-grain ceiling, and low path lighting instead of bright downlights. Evenings out here are about moving air, and the fan does more for comfort than any fixture on the wall.
Sequencing saves real money on this trade. Conduit while the trench is open, boxes while the frame is open, fixtures last. Doing those three in that order across one visit costs a fraction of what it costs to bring an electrician back for each of them separately.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, drilled belled piers below the active clay zone, hot-dip galvanized post base standoffs — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Richardson and nearby communities including Plano, Garland, Sachse, Murphy.

Materials, equipment and how we do patio lighting & ceiling fans
The difference between patio lighting & ceiling fans that lasts and patio lighting & ceiling fans that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Richardson job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in the Telecom Corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
