"This review is well overdo. Frank and his team are a first class operation. They've done a great job with skim coating and painting the entire home, sanding/refinishing the stairs and floors that have 90 yr old original heart pine hardwood floors, landscaping work, installed new lighting and ceiling fans, fixing electrical wiring, addressing plumbing issues, restoration of a flooded basement, stucco repair, etc. You name it, I've hired Frank to help me fix the issues and he has done an amazing job every time. I've work with Frank for almost 8 years now, he is very responsive, professional, and pays close attention to detail. He is the first call I make anytime I need his help with my home."

"Excellent! I have an older home and the walls aren't exactly even...the drywall has been unfinished for a long time ( my own doing), I finally decided it was time to call in a professional. Manfredia's came in and had the work done and beautiful within the time frame I needed for a reasonable price. The workers on-site were polite, friendly and cleaned up thoroughly with minor disruption to us. Wally was with us the whole way an insisted that he would do the crown moulding to ensure the wacky uneven walls didn't effect the final result. I am so happy with the work done and Manfredia's. Thank you for helping me finally enjoy my living room!"

"I'm pretty picky but Kirstin and her team did a better job of cleaning my place than I ever do. All of the light fixtures were dusted, walls were dusted, kitchen appliances were polished and gleaming and the house looks and smells wonderful. I am beyond happy with the job they did. After looking for a house cleaning service for over 3 years, I've finally found someone I will hire on a regular basis. Thanks Kirstin. You and your team were friendly, efficient and wonderful to work with.

A drop ceiling is a type of secondary ceiling that is dropped down below the actual ceiling of a room, hence the name. It’s made up of ceiling tiles (made of fiberboard, foam, wood, metal, or plastic) supported by a metal grid. The space between the drop ceiling and the structural ceiling can be used to hide wiring, pipes, and HVAC ducts.
Most drop ceiling installations take about two to three days, including the time needed to build the grid frame, install it, and place each ceiling tile properly. Your installation might take more time if you need to modify plumbing, HVAC ducts, or electrical wiring to accommodate the new ceiling.
Most drop ceilings require a clearance of at least three inches from the structural ceiling, though you’ll likely need more than that to make space for pipes, ducts, lights, fans, sprinklers, or wiring. In many places, building codes require a minimum ceiling height of seven feet, which can limit the amount of clearance you’ll have between your drop ceiling and structural ceiling.
Yes, you can paint a drop ceiling, but it’s not always recommended. Painting a drop ceiling can sometimes void your warranty because using improper paint or technique can cause the tiles to sag. Paint can also negatively affect the fire resistance, soundproofing, and light reflection of the panels. Consider these downsides before taking on ceiling painting costs.
