"I hired Marc to fix some issues with the drywall in my bathroom. He answered all my questions during the inspection and told me how it would look once he was done. I was really impressed with the work he did and my bathroom looks better I expected. You can tell Marc is a pro once you see the finished product. I also had him get rid of the popcorn ceiling in the living room and patch up a few cracks. I had seen a couple videos on youtube and I was ready for a mess, but he took care of everything and it was all very controlled. He gave me a good quote for the ceiling and it turned out great like the bathroom. My living room looks brighter and much more modern. Marc said he also paints exteriors, so that might be my next project. Thanks"

"Tony and his crew did a great job! He was responsive and communicative when we talked to him about our job texturing our bedroom, fixing ca crack in the ceiling and replacing some drywall near our bathroom. The price he offered was reasonable. Our start time shifted slightly and he was flexible with our dates. When we began , his crew showed up on time and stayed on the project without any delays. They worked efficiently, and were careful at clean up and maintaining the room.. Thé texture is beautiful, an old world texture that is a big step up from the skip trowel we had on the wall.. It was a pleasure to work with his team and I would highly recommend them to others."

Ask the following questions to make sure you know what’s involved and that you’ve hired a good team:
Is your company licensed, bonded, and insured?
What is the best tile size for my project?
What fire rating do my ceiling tiles need?
How long will it take to install the drop ceiling?
What is the height of the finished drop ceiling?
Most residential building codes require a minimum ceiling height of 7.5 feet from the floor to the finished drop ceiling, ensuring adequate headroom and safety compliance. Since requirements can vary by location, consult your local code enforcement office or a professional installer to confirm the specific clearance needed for your project.
Installing a drop ceiling results in a loss of ceiling height ranging from 3 inches to 8 inches. The exact amount depends on factors like the size of the fixtures above, such as ductwork or lighting, and the manufacturer's recommendations for installation. Local building codes also dictate minimum ceiling heights, so it's important to consult with a professional installer to determine the optimal drop distance for your specific space.
Installing drywall costs between $1.50 and $3 per square foot for materials, labor, and finishing—significantly less than the $9 to $13 per square foot average for a drop ceiling. While drop ceilings come with a higher initial cost, they offer greater design flexibility, easy access to utility lines, and are simpler and less expensive to repair. To minimize expenses, consider budget-friendly fiberboard panels, though their appearance may be less appealing to some homeowners.
Drop ceilings offer several advantages and disadvantages.
Pros:
Easy to install and repair
Conceal stains, ductwork, and other unsightly elements
Provide quick access to ducts and wiring for maintenance
Available in various styles to suit your design preferences
Cons:
Reduce ceiling height
Tiles may require replacement after a few years
Less sturdy than traditional ceilings
Installation can be more time-consuming than drywall
Removing a drop ceiling costs between $2 and $7 per square foot, which includes disassembling the rail system and removing tiles. Factors such as ceiling size, accessibility, and disposal fees affect the total cost. If you're removing a drywall ceiling, expect costs of $2 to $4 per square foot. Hiring a professional ensures safe removal and proper disposal, preventing damage to underlying structures.
