"I called Joe at SILMAC to gut and remodel my bathroom. I had used him and his company 15 years ago to remodel my entire apartment in Back Bay and he had done a fantastic job. Happy to say Joe and SILMAC have not lost a step. The bathroom came out beautifully. Joe listens carefully and gives you exactly what you want."

"The work went really well. Once Pedro’s team got started they worked really quickly on the project, and were even able to accommodate additional work that we added on as we went (once the popcorn ceilings were removed we decided to have the ceilings and walls painted, and a new light fixture added to the dining room). Everything was finished quickly and looks great!"

"MMP inspected the roof and gave us a quote the next day. They did no maintenance work but credited us on the replacement quote. Once we signed and placed a deposit on the new roof, the scheduling was quick (within about 1-1.5 weeks). After confirming our color choice, they dropped off the shingles/supplies on a tuesday and by the end of the next day they were completely done and cleaned up. Found some stray plastic in the back yard but otherwise everything was cleaned up well. Looks great and seemed to hold up well in the recent downpours we had."

"I recently purchased an old house, built in 1940. My intention is to remodel the basement as a home theater space. I write about consumer electronics professionally, so this is not just a hobby room, but is needed for my career. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that I have a huge budget. I have to pay for all expenses out of pocket, right after having just bought the house.
The house had a finished room in the basement, but it was completed in the '40s or '50s and was unsuitable for my needs. I was able to strip the old walls and ceiling myself, but need a real contractor with crew to build them back up again, complete with heavy insulation and soundproofing materials. It is essential that I isolate the room from all sounds coming from upstairs, and that I don't disturb my wife or neighbors when watching loud movies.
Scott Curtice came out to the house twice for consultation, once on his own and once with his carpenter. Scott was extremely helpful, knowledgable, friendly and professional. Although he is not a specialist in soundproofing, he was able to do some research for me and provided three estimates for different ways he could complete the project considering my restricted budget. He also advised on other problems I've discovered with the house during this process.
While planning this project, I have also met with or spoken to several other firms. The Curtice Group quickly stood out as a front-runner for the job. Ultimately, I decided to move forward with another firm. However, that was due almost entirely to my very specific, specialized needs, and is not a reflection on the Curtice Group. My experiences with Scott were nothing but positive.

"We had fantastic work and timeline from Bob. They replastered our textured ceilings over 4 days and did a fantastic job. Bob was quick and easy to communicate with, as well as scheduling (estimate and work days). Several other contractors who came through the house complimented their work and the speed of the job."

"Highly recommended!! Liam did a wonderful job with my closer repair. The room was gutted to the studs from a water leak and Liam put it back together beautifully. I’m very happy with his craftsmanship and excellent work. He was courteous, professional, and very skilled. I’d highly recommend his services!"

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.
