Electrician

How big of a job is it?

I just used Bruce Robak whose company name is I believe Electric Service Company and he was great. My plumber Joe Coraggio recommended him. 973-204-6411  

Edited to say if you were just looking for those who used the electrician you mentioned in your OP then sorry. But if you wanted a second quote, try Bruce.

That is sort of a 2- (or 3) step project.  

1. You need to cut through to the outside (= carpentry, possibly siding work on the outside).  Then install duct.
2. You need a certified electrician to run wiring & install switch.
3. Then install the fan, and finally a sheetrock/painter guy to clean it up on the inside, unless cutting was done very carefully originally.

Most electricians (& plumbers) make a mess of the cutting work; while I was active I had to clean up such jobs many times.  Most handy-man types can do 1 & 3, but they are not certified electricians, so this 'minor' job will stretch into multiple visits.

One brilliant handyman we talked to about this offered to install a vent from the second floor bathroom into the attic.  Fortunately, when we upgraded the attic bedrooms, we were able to have it installed correctly.

Thinking back, the last fan I installed required 2 people for the installation.  We needed 1 person inside, and a 2nd person on a ladder outside both for drilling the necessary holes, and in order to join the two sections of the duct.

My #2 on the above job was Brian Riley, who did the full bathroom at Morrow Church; and also had a contact to a certified electrician for that part of the ventilation fan project.

@ Jasmo:   Yes, some 'handymen' are anything but.  And that goes for appliance repair men as well.                                         Work only with people who have solid references.
