"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."

"Angelo Natale has done a lot of work for me over the last few years. I don’t know what I would do without his expertise. He started helping by getting me to work safely and on time with snowplowing….but more recently Angelo diagnosed and fixed 2 problems I had in my home. One was a leak that ruined a ceiling and more recently with a major water pressure issue which almost broke my new heater. He averted a disaster! Angelo takes the time to explain everything. He’s patient with questions, extremely thorough and a genuinely good guy. I have more work lined up for him. Anyone would be extremely pleased if Angelo is on the job."

"Atlantic 1 and Eddie were referred to me by another happy customer who in return was also referred by someone who used their services. Quick to quote and book (especially when we had a water damage project and couldn’t wait around) , not afraid to take on challenges that other contractors wouldn’t work on, fast turnaround and good pricing. Would I use them again?: I’ve done a kitchen remodel with them, then a living room- from ceiling paint to floor install to closets remodeling, and I’m having them return for a quote on deck / balcony and gazebo reconstruction and new fence So yes.. I would definitely use them again!"

"I have read the reviews about the complaints about the costs for Heart & Saul Cleaning, so let me tell you my story and you'll understand why they are absolutely amazing. Sadly, back in January 2018 my home burnt down, I lost everything! Living in a hotel for 2 months and then finally moving into a rental home in Lake Hoptacong. The place needed a deep clean, it was a total disgusting mess! Two older individuals lived there and I don't think they ever mopped, dusted, cleaned inside refrigerator or even cleaned the toilet, etc... It was horrible!!! I called Susan and she gave me rates and was able to clean the day I moved in. Sadly, the landlord went with another local cleaning service and they did nothing!!! She even yelled at my landlord that this place is a mess... OMG.. My OCD etc... she didn't even bring some cleaning supplies. My landlord was going out to the store to by more for them and at one point she even said... I can't reach it so its not getting cleaned. Can you even imagine!!! A cleaning service that didn't want to clean. They were even told before hand that the place needed a deep clean, from top to bottom, that it was a mess. Windows need to be washed and rugs steamed, refrigerator and oven cleaned. Everything from top to bottom. They didn't even clean the ceiling fans or mop the floors!! But they took $300 for nothing - NOTHING!!! Shame on you!! When I got to my new house... I cried hysterically!!! It was as a complete mess. There was so much cleaning to do and I could not handle it. I called Susan, the owner from Heart & Saul crying hysterically and she was here with her team within a few hours and they worked their butts off for the next 6 hours non-stop!! They went room to room and washed the walls down, cleaned the ceiling fans, washed all the windows, screens and frames, the cabinets inside and out and even got up on a ladder and cleaned on top of the cabinets. Every frame, molding, nook and cranny they cleaned. They even moved the refrigerator and cleaned behind it. They cleaned inside the kitchen cabinets, where everything falls in the back. My new home was starting to look like a real home!!! It was amazing!!! Susan and her team were my saving grace! I don't know what I would have done without them and all their hard work. There are no words to express how Thankful and Grateful I am to them! So Yeah, they charged a lot, but let me tell you - you get what you pay for and they are worth every single penny! So call them, they will get the job done! Trust me!!! I will upload some photos and you can see the cleaning in progress and all the dirt the other cleaning company left behind. Trust me - Call Heart & Saul"

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.
