"They did an excellent and clean job. The price is awesooome!!! I started by doing the ceiling and ended up remodeling other places in my home. I gave the contact information to my office maintenance manager and he was delighted with the work they did on the ceiling at my job."

"I have had a bad crack in my ceiling for years due to a faulty design in this particular type of house (there are several like mine in the development where I live and they all suffer from this problem), and I was redoing my daughter's bedroom which required some sheet rock work also. Fabio was the first name that came up on the list. I called him and he showed up the next morning, exactly on time. We arranged a price and he began and finished extremely fast, but the quality is beyond what I expected. Additionally he helped me discover the problem that caused the crack and I'm working to fix it."

"Great work repairing damaged drywall, painting and putting new new floors on a further basement remodel. I have used these guys twice now and each time you are getting a good price and end result to the job. Definitely recommend hiring them if you have home remodel or repair needs."

"Sal and his crew did a beautiful job on my crown molding, chair rail with wall molding up my stairs and had the whole area painted. He is very hands on with his workers and makes sure you are completely satisfied with the outcome. I would highly recommend his work and will definitely be a return client."

"Anush and his team were absolutely amazing, and our porch turned out better than we expected thanks to his ideas/recommendations. The attention to detail/pride they take in their work truly stand out and far exceeded our experiences with contractors in the past. One of my favorite parts is how much I genuinely love coming home now. It completely changed the look and feel of the front of our house, and every time I pull into the driveway it makes me happy to see it. I will absolutely be recommending AVSTEP to anyone planning renovations or building a home. We already have several more projects planned for our house in the coming months, and without question we’ll be using Anush and his team again. It’s such a great feeling to know we now have a contractor we genuinely trust and can confidently call whenever we need work done. Even our neighbors have been commenting on how beautiful the front of our house looks and what an incredible job they did. Below are the before and after pictures"

"We were very pleased with the entire re-roofing project completed by Coastal Construction & Contracting Services LLC. Frank, the owner, worked closely with us throughout, being thorough in his initial assessment in measurements of the roof, ordering roofing materials, explaining the process, etc. Because our existing roof underwent storm/wind damage, Frank even helped coordinate with our insurance company's adjuster, who also inspected the roof. We found Frank's proposal to be quite fair as compared to that of other contractors with whom we had consulted. Roofing materials were ordered and delivered as scheduled and the project was begun on time. Under Frank's supervision, it was completed in a timely manner. The work crew performed in a conscientious, professional manner. We found them to be on time and reliable. The entire area was thoroughly cleaned up upon completion of their work. Based upon our very positive experience, we would wholeheartedly recommend Coastal Construction & Contracting Services to our friends and neighbors. In fact, they had previously completed work on the house directly across the street from ours, and we would think that several of our neighbors will be interested in utilizing their services as well."

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.
