"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!!!"

"Mark came to our home to put a drop ceiling in, and he was finished in just a few hours. He was extremely professional and very helpful in starting to plan future projects with us. We are trying to get a lot of projects done in our home at once, and this company is the ONLY one who hasn't given us any grief. I would highly recommend using Deschenes Acoustics for all your drop ceiling needs. I wish he did floors and plumbing, too! lol."

"As long as Kevin is in business, I won't go anywhere else for professional drywalling. I remodeled the first floor of my home, hung the sheetrock myself and learned that my walls and ceilings are grossly uneven. Kevin came in and made all those imperfections go away. In addition, because we were in a bit of a time crunch to finish the project, he came in on a weekend and knocked out the whole project in 4 days. Friendly, efficient, affordable and a true master at his craft. Iâd recommend him to anyone who needs this service."

"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"

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.
