"Gabe and his team did a wonderful job on creating a new ceiling in our master bedroom. It is absolutely beautiful--we just finished painting it yesterday with a lovely color called Creamy from Sherwin-Williams. From consultation to job completion, Gabe was professional, friendly, and did great work. His price was fair, too. We like that he and his team were on-time, hard-working, highly-skilled, and very friendly and caring about our needs. We highly recommend Gabe and his team for any project...you will be happy with the level of detail, quality, and service. Thank you, Gabe and your team."

He not only provided a number of options, but recommended ways to save money as well. The work project itself, Al made sure if there were any concerns we had, he addressed it promptly. We plan to use C&H for a number of other smaller handyman projects we need done both immediately and any others in the future."

"Beautifully. I asked that the wall be plastered smooth rather than textured as the previous wall had been and it was completed with a perform, smooth finish. The ceiling was a patch and needed to have the texture matched and he did that seamlessly."

"I was a very lucky customer receiving a message from Mark with Russel Interior Systems. As a new business owner finding reliable contractors for repair work is very difficult to find. No job is to small for Mark!! as other contractors I spoke to were not very helpful for our small repair project. Mark is responsive and arrived on time on the day scheduled! Thank you Mark for assisting with our Tbar ceiling repairs. See you again soon as I will be grateful to work with Mark again!."

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.
