"Amazing job by Mudslingers. We had some plaster ceiling in our 105 year old house begin to crack and partially collapse. Contacted Mudslingers and they demo'ed the remaining plaster and replaced it with sheetrock. The work also included removing two ceiling fixtures (one ceiling fan and a chandelier) and they replaced them after ceiling work was complete. The entire quoting, scheduling, and onsite services were amazing. Obtained a quote from them that was less expensive than the other two contractors we contacted. Scheduling communication was very clear and well laid out between various stages of the project (demo/sheetrock/mud/sanding), and the project finished up way ahead of schedule. During the project we received multiple phone and text message updates from the team, and all of our questions during the project were responded to within minutes (even on a Sunday evening). As someone who purchased a 105 year old house a few years ago, we've hired nearly a dozen contractors for various updates around the house. But Mudslingers is easily the best experience we've had. Definitely an A+ experience"

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.
