There's always a buddy you can borrow that from, if you don't already have one.

Likely cost for getting power to & installing a fan on a 12-ft ceiling, UCounty?

What you want to pay multiplied by 2.

Lucky he’s not hiring a lawyer. 5X minimum.

If you diy, about $15 for 12 gauge wire and a switch, plus the cost of your fan.

And the cost of a 12 ft ladder.

Don't know, but curious: Is there a light fixture there already? I assume not, since you said "get power to"

No, and I think so. Haven't checked. Would be at the apex of a vaulted ceiling.

If there's access, it's very easy to DIY, as others have said. Even if you're adding a new switch, it can be a pain

Does it also need a switch or are you going to add it on the same switch the

Not much if you already have a light in the ceiling

I will answer your actual question. It will take a good handyman a couple hours

What you need to find out is if the vaulted ceiling is trussed or stick framed.
