To your inquiry about installing a ceiling fan on a 16' ceiling:
Is there an existing light in the same location or would a wire to the location need to be installed as well? Is there any access to the ceiling so as to cause  little or no damage (incisions to be made for wiring, and patching) i.e. attic or crawl space adjacent to ceiling location and over switch location? There would also have to be a paddle fan approved box installed as required by code.
 I have done many such jobs...I install nail plates to protect wires when notched into studs or joists, and also provide a fist coat of patch.

This is not a problem to handle.  We would need to come out and do a site visit.  Just a couple of questions. 
1) Is this a new location or is there power in this location already? (light fixture/fan replacement)
2) Do you have the fan in your possesion? 

Call to schedule site visit.

Thank you

In response to your need for a ceiling fan to be installed on a 16 foot ceiling.   It is not a problem to do this.  We have done this plenty of times for paddle fans, chandeliers, and track lighting.  A job of this type should be looked at  and discussed  with the customer.    Things we would look for and discuss would be if the ceiling is sloped or not, if there is access above,  if you are using a remote, or the switch location, what type of fan.  If you would like, give us a call to set up an appointment to look at it so we could discuss and see your exact situation and we will explain to you what will be done.   We have been doing electrical work for 20 years.  We are neat, professional, and reliable.  Thank you.
