"He came in took at the problem! Half of our ceiling fell. He gave us quotes for just a fix the 1/2 that fell & then we asked about the whole ceiling quote! He is a very hard worker! I would definitely have him come back if I needed more dry or even painting!"

"Our main project work was performed in April and May 2017 with some subsequent work after we completed a new master bath in January 2018. The drywall repair phase in 2017 encountered unforeseen issues due to improper work done by a contractor used by the previous owners. While the cost of the project increased accordingly, Doug Fox (owner of Wolverine Custom Painting) was particularly good with clear communication and transparency as we expanded the project scope. The Wolverine craftsmen that performed the cabinetry, drywall and structural/fastener solutions for high ceiling drywall features were extremely thorough and skilled. The painting crew were excellent and took great pride in their work. Given the unusual nature of this home (in a Frank Lloyd Wright tradition) we are extremely pleased with the end result that highlights the barrel ceilings and interior features of this beautiful home. Wolverine Custom Painting was a 'one-stop shop' for us that exceeded all our expectations."

"They showed up on time and the work was great! Great price too. We needed our basement done before a party we had at our home. And they got us in and got it done so quick and looked amazing. I will be using them again for my office and would definitely recommend them to my family and friends."

"We initially hired Bob to help us get our nursery in order. We needed someone to remove the old crown molding and baseboard in the room, paint the room and install new closet doors for us. Bob did a great job on the project. He was prompt when it came time to provide the quote and worked quickly to get us scheduled. The work he did in the room was excellent. He was able to provide suggestions about what closet doors would work best and what kind of trim would be required around them. He graciously agreed to help pick up materials, as we had no easy way to transport such long pieces of trim. We asked him to use a dark wall color for the room, and the care he used in painting with this color was appreciated. We needed to ask Bob to delay installing the baseboards until the floor could be refinished; he graciously came back a few weeks later to finish the job, without charging any additional fee.
Because Bob did such a great job for us, we also had him come back a few weeks after installing the baseboards to help us fix a drywall patch in our hallway ceiling. Initially Bob had told me he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get it to look seamless with the rest of the ceiling, but he was able to work his magic and you can't even tell that the patch is there. We were very impressed with the result he was able to provide us, and of course his painting job on the ceiling after patching it was excellent.
We'd highly recommend Bob and his services, and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again in the future. He was a pleasure to work with, and we felt comfortable leaving him in our home to complete the projects while we were at work. We appreciated his attention to detail and his efforts to clean up after himself when the job was completed. He brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to projects, that will serve his customers well!

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.
