Wonder why they do this. For some fixtures need to get up on a tall ladder and can see where you might want to hire a more experienced person but an electrician seems like overkill.

Than again we have several 10 ft ceilings and silly me bought a 6 ft ladder when we moved here and realized that aint going to work.
