"Excellent Quality of work! I have been renovating a 78 year old commercial building. The existing ceiling was damaged and replaced with new drywall. However the existing rafters after 78 years had sagged to varying amounts making the new ceiling wavy. The men made the extra effort to do a very wide compound application and feathered it beautifully to blend and even out the ceiling profile. The results are far better then I expected. These men have real talent! I am a retired construction PM who was responsible for high end commercial buildings and I recognize the difference between ordinary work and high quality work! I highly recommend this company."

"Zeke with keystone did the Ship lap and also designed and built the service counter for my office. He came with all the tools and expertise needed. Weâ ve all seen the guy that claims to be an expert struggle to complete a job with a set of tools bought on sale at Walmart! Then thereâ s Keystone. Pulls in with a clean looking truck and trailer. I had the opportunity to see the inside of their trailer and boy is it incredible! Like all the fasteners and tools needed for my office fully organized and ready for use! All this combined with Zekeâ s communication skills to fine tune my design to be pleasing to look at and still super functional. My experience with keystone every step of the way was incredible. Call them and ask for Zeke."

"The work was well done, responsiveness was good, my work was delayed a little due to other customers project, he was able to come and everything looked nice. He also did painting on the popcorn ceiling and he did not have any problems with the texture, and it came out very well. He was the lowest of all the price quotes that we received but his price was very reasonable for the quality of work that he have done."

"Excellent company with a fantastic work ethic and great communication!!"
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.
