"They only charge $1,000 for the entire roof of my garage, and it was a good deal. This included removal of all the old shingles, and hauling all of the used material off the property to the dump. -Debra Castrinos"

I am an Ex food industry worker that was fed up with the grind and hustle. I have started cleaning houses, gutters, junk removal, yards, move ins and outs. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. My dream is to make this my full time job to help take care of my wife and kids.

"Best experience ever. I contacted three contractors asking for bids. Marshall Painter came to my home twice before submitting a bid. Amazingly his bid was half of the other bids I received. I then contacted him again and he once again came to my home and we talked about the project. He had given me a bid of $9000.00 but when he came to my home this time he apologized and immediately told me that he had miss-quoted me before and the job would actually be $11,000. This price was still half of what I received from other contractors so we talked for a while and I gave Marshall the job. The next day I called Miss Utility and had the utilities marked and Marshall went for the permit. A few days later the job began. Each day Marshall and his team showed up bright and early at 7:00 a.m. and worked 12 hour days. In one week construction was completed and my wife and I were more than happy with the results. The day the inspector came a couple of things did not pass inspection. One item was pretty simple, just a couple of bolts in the headers. However the inspector said that some metal flanges had to be installed both in the ceiling and under the flooring. Marshall couldn't find anything in the plans or requirements but rather than argue with the inspector he spent an additional day fixing the problems and the next day the inspector came back and passed the job. Marshall handled the situation in a professional manner that guaranteed the job would get done instead of complaining and causing problems with the inspector. Absolutely, positively, the best porch ever built. We wanted a large outdoor living space where we could entertain and our new porch more than fulfills our wants or desires."

"when I asked for an estimate on my ceiling fan installation, Murphy responded quickly with a time estimate, and suggested a couple of deals they had available with Angie's list. I took them up on the deal that seemed the best fit for my project, and made an appointment for the work online, so easy! The techs were on time, polite and professional. excellent work on the install, including electrical boxes and remote controls."

"Hilda and her assistant did a solid job. They came on time, even a few minutes early, and they worked hard, staying longer than they had anticipated. The kitchen and bathroom were gleaming and the other rooms were well cleaned. They even made sure the ceiling fans were spotless."
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.
