"I've used 2nd Street Painting for several projects. 1) A whole house painting including ceiling, trim and doors. 2) Painting kitchen & bath cabinets. 3) Deck and fence staining. 4) Most recently a bath refresh that not only included painting, but Nate also arranged for an employee, Josh, to remove and hang new light fixtures and mirrors. Josh was exceptional to work with. Each experience was outstanding. Nate and his team are courteous, on time, professional and do an excellent job. The quotes are reasonable and always spot on. I would hire them for any painting job and highly recommend them to others."

"I believe that AOM Painting, is by far the best I've ever seen. They gave me all the details before they started. Walked me through what would cost what and then let me pick and choose what I wanted to do. They were extremely professional and went above and beyond the call of most painters. they took down blinds, unhinged doors, and even dusted the ceiling fan while they were painting they also did all the edges free hand which was amazing!! I couldn't ask for better service, and when an issue with the paint arose they stayed the extra mile and worked through it to the finish. I would highly recommend them again, in fact they will be doing later projects for me. President of the company David Murphy told me of all the services they offer such as cleaning and lawn care, if they do those as well as they paint they will be amazing. Can't wait to use them again."

"Justin came out very quickly. He answered all of our questions. He was very professional and polite and knew his stuff!!! It was a no brainer after we talked to him. I had no idea that the Good House Keeping seal of approval is given to only one company per industry sector in the entire nation. It makes us feel good that of all the companies in the one day bath category, they were chosen to have that seal. They were super professional! Super polite! Very prompt and we love the product!"

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.
