"I hired them to install three exterior lights, by my front and back doors & garage. I had the fixtures, just needed someone to install. Good work at a reasonable price. I subsequently hired them to fix some wood rot by my garage door. Ivan cams in, cut out and replaced the bad pieces, caulked and repainted. Excellent job!"

"Well, they haven't come yet. They're not coming until next week, but I can tell you their customer service for getting it set up, I would definitely give them a Five-star. I mean, she sent me quotes immediately, and you know, just very, very helpful and wonderful. Not the others were nice too, but I I just really connected with this lady."

"So far I have had them install a garbage disposal and a ceiling fan. Wanted to say they were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Has been a pleasure to work with them."

"We had a great experience! Javier was onsite and hands-on with the project. He was also extremely responsive. He ensured everything was well coordinated and had his crew working around the clock to minimize the amount of time we had to be closed. I have had work done in my home that took months and this was an extensive remodel done in a couple days - amazing!! The workmanship was also top quality and Javier made sure we were satisfied with everything that was done. I would highly recommend!"

"This was a gift for my son. I contacted the company, they responded quickly, was upfront about what they could clean and it turned out they were able to reach my son's high ceiling fans, and were able to make the master room bed. I am so pleased they bring tools to reach high, instead of standard, we don't get on ladders. They contacted my son, made the appointment, showed up on time and he said the place looked great, he was very pleased."

"Our experience with AP Builder was great. Angelo was very knowledgeable and professional, keeping us informed every step of the way. This was a big important project for our home and I am extremely happy with how it came out! The cost was very reasonable and there were no surprises, everything was open and honest. I would definitely use them again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you AP!"

"They initially set the date and time, they contacted me the day to ask a time change. They can change the time to a later time, and they were still late with the time change. They were late and I expect them to do a good job. The cleaning in the kitchen was fabulous, it was the older woman who did the kitchen. But, everything else that the younger people did was not good at all. I have to asked them to go back and clean the doors. The ceiling fans were not cleaned, they are horrible. They were not going to clean the baseboards, which was part of the deep cleaning agreement."

"Do allow them to estimate the job ( they are professionals), don't go off your assumptions and measurements because it will be off and more material will be needed at your expense. I look forward to sharing this service with family and friends.
Thank You"



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.
