"My church hired pristine ceilings to install a new acoustical, drop ceiling in a 4,400sf multi purpose church hall. New ceiling had to be attached to an existing 2 x 2 coffered concrete ceiling structure. Scott provided many options in terms of pricing, quality and acoustic properties. He made it easy for our property team to decide on the best option that would work within our budget. Scott always returned our calls promptly. We were especially pleased with the high level of craftsmanship that Scott and his team employed. They were able to wrap trim and tile neatly around our round columns. I would highly recommend Scott Mason of Pristine Acoustical Ceilings for any business or residential project. Their work is absolutely top notch!!!"

"I am very picky about the quality of both my work and a contractors. Deschenes Acoustics did a fantastic job. The ceiling looks great. It is nice when a contractor shows up when they say and calls you back when you have a question. They did both. Cleaned up all the scrap material at the end of the day leaving the job site as they found it. Highly recommend Mark and his crew."

"The project involved water damage to my living room ceiling. Kathleen Dominic and Zach are an excellent team. Zach showed up on time. He laid protective covers for my furniture and wood flooring. The texture blending with my original ceiling was flawless. Zach did a thorough cleanup. I would highly recommend this company"

"It was so good to work with Ryan. He did not try to gouge me, and stopped me from making a costly mistake. I wanted a certain tile, thinking the price per box, but it was per tile! I am so happy with my results, the respect I was given, and the electrical contractor Ryan got to replace the lights."

"I hired Matt after a no-callback and a no-show from two other contractors. I wish I found him first as he came by when he said would, got me a quote in under a day, and showed up to do the work. He and Austin spent about 8 hour putting up blue board over an old ceiling and in a closet, three coating everything, and touching up dents and areas where the trim had damaged the horse-hair plaster. Everything looks good, they definitely breathed new life into an old room. The plaster's about dry now, ready for a final quick sanding, primer and paint. I'm not going to bother calling anyone else the next time I'm looking to have plaster work done, Preferred Skimcoat gets my money from now on."

"Dan arrived on time and completed the insulation replacement and installation much faster than we expected. He also left the space spotless, which was a pleasant surprise. The tiled ceiling looks fantastic and has significantly improved the appearance of our basement! We really recommend his services and will definitely keep his contact for further projects!"

"Excellent job! Friendly, excellent customer service"
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.
