"My church hired pristine ceilings to install a new acoustical, drop ceiling in a 4,400sf multi purpose church hall. New ceiling had to be attached to an existing 2 x 2 coffered concrete ceiling structure. Scott provided many options in terms of pricing, quality and acoustic properties. He made it easy for our property team to decide on the best option that would work within our budget. Scott always returned our calls promptly. We were especially pleased with the high level of craftsmanship that Scott and his team employed. They were able to wrap trim and tile neatly around our round columns. I would highly recommend Scott Mason of Pristine Acoustical Ceilings for any business or residential project. Their work is absolutely top notch!!!"

"I am very picky about the quality of both my work and a contractors. Deschenes Acoustics did a fantastic job. The ceiling looks great. It is nice when a contractor shows up when they say and calls you back when you have a question. They did both. Cleaned up all the scrap material at the end of the day leaving the job site as they found it. Highly recommend Mark and his crew."

"I was buying a new house, the home inspector had some questions about the attic joists and suggested I have a professional take a look at them. I needed it done quickly and I called three contractors. Matt from MMP was the only one that called me back the same day and agreed to come look at them the next day. He showed up on time, suggested a remedy and gave me an estimate. After buying the house I had him complete the work. It was done as promised in a very tight and dirty attic space, they cleaned up before leaving. I also chose Matt to replace my roof after getting three estimates. The crew did the complete job, chimney flashing, ice and water shield, small roof repair and venting channels in the attic. Clean up was great, no mess left in the yard. He was not the lowest estimate but all the work was done without any additional charges. I was very pleased with the results."

"Dan arrived on time and completed the insulation replacement and installation much faster than we expected. He also left the space spotless, which was a pleasant surprise. The tiled ceiling looks fantastic and has significantly improved the appearance of our basement! We really recommend his services and will definitely keep his contact for further projects!"

"Matt did an outstanding job on my kitchen ceiling. He showed up when he said he would, communicated well through the process and his price was extremely reasonable. I will definitely call Matt for any future plaster work."
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.
