This may be very hard or may require fairly significant structural work.

For just the master I have been quoted 253 labor only and probbably
much more for the downstairs.


The 253$ may fit the livingroom costs. No way the master bedroom should
cost that.

If you hire the guy who already came out it will cost $253 plus
materials for the first fan and more for the other fan. If you call
someone else the price could be more, less, or the same.


It would be better to get more estimates. There's either something funny
going on here that's making the price go way up, or the guy is a rip-off.

I just had 2 fans done (attic access for both) for 50$ each.


So for 50.00 they put the fan together mounted a special ceiling fan support
box ran wire down a wall for a new switch then up to the fan location, put
the necessary plug stops in box, installed 2 switches, and I assume this
included material. The guy that did this should have given you a check.
