"I had a ceiling that needed repair in a bedroom, plus a few other minor repairs elsewhere in the house. The crew of 2 people had all the work finished in one day, and they cleaned up very well after the work. I'm glad I found them."

"Everything went great! Victor is a true professional, and his work reflects that. He skim-coated our ceilings (3 or 4 coats) of joint compound to change from a textured to a smooth finish and then primed and painted them. Victor went above and beyond, fixing several cracks/imperfections in the walls in our largest room, which was beyond the original scope of work. We really appreciated that, as we were getting ready to paint the walls in that room. Our ceilings look so much better. I would definitely hire Victor again."

"We had an addition put onto our house last year. There were endless delays, the project took much longer than estimated, and the equipment brought in tore up the yard and driveway. When cutting into the house the wall to my daughters bedroom and the living room were punched through and suffered water damage, which they magnanimously painted the one wall to cover. The yard and driveway were never addressed because it “isn’t part of the contract”. Hence, the outlet pipe for the sump pump was simply run about ten feet straight out from the house, a foot above ground. Speaking of which, the sump pump is pretty much UNDER THE BEDROOM FLOOR. The final straw for me was when I requested plain ceramic light fixtures in the closet, and was given shoddy, overpriced plastic fixtures, with the excuse being that the ceramic ones weren’t available anywhere. I’m not going to say that I was lied to, but it took me all of a trip to Walmart to find them, and replace them myself. When I presented the contractor with the cheap lights, I got a guilt trip about how he was going to have to eat the cost of them. Pity. Shortly after construction, I had an unrelated plumbing problem and contacted the plumber we used, and Apex demanded a cut before I could get the work done. Said it’s how he keeps his guys “loyal”. I ended up paying an extra $80ish for precisely nothing. So here I am, some 14 months later and still finding little problems cropping up and fixing them at my expense as they do. I’m not happy, but based on previous interactions, I guess ‘happy’ just wasn’t covered in the contract. To be fair, the overall construction is satisfactory I suppose. It looks nice and doesn’t creak in the high wind that we get here. The roof and windows don’t leak and the floors are solid, but on the other hand the walls and floor are cold as **** in winter (work was completed in summer, so who knew), and the pipes and air ducts are poorly (see also: not) insulated, which I didn’t even think was a thing. Hence, the entire section is more or less an icebox after November. Apparently I didn’t know enough to protect myself in this situation. Hindsight being 20/20, I would not use this company again."

"There was someone working on the project every day. Different professionals spoke English for each job. All questions were answered, and we were updated on every issue that came up as walls were torn down or pipes exposed. I knew the price was higher than that of other contractors', but I had also seen Centennial's work firsthand from a friend who was remodeling her entire house. They are professional and reliable. We had never done a remodel, and Brent had to help us pick items and places to go to stay within our budget. We will use them again."

"I had quite a list of items that needed completion and one handyman was able to do it all.  When Greg reviewed my list and we walked throughout the house he indicated this would take multiple days (as I suspected).  So most of the work was completed during a few days one week and the kitchen floor was completed over two days the following week.
I couldn't be more pleased.  There was so much to do we discussed what order and confirmed I had all the materials.  After insulation was blown in the porch ceiling and the porch ceiling put back in place you couldn't even tell the ceiling had been down before.  Greg inserted fiberglass insulation around new windows that had been installed, then miter cut and installed interior trim to conceal the gap between new windows and the existing window frame.  He did this to every window in the house.  He also replaced a window frame that had been damaged during window installation. 
He moved one ceiling fan and installed another new ceiling fan.  Greg also installed wire shelves in the basement.
But the biggest single task, and the most daunting, was to install a new linoleum floor in the kitchen.  Many flooring companies looked at the "soft spot" in the kitchen of my 1916 home and didn't want to tackle the job.  It seemed they wanted to lay new linoleum over the old linoleum and call it a day but that approach wouldn't fix the nails working their way up through the old linoleum.  Greg removed the old linoleum floor and opened up the floor so we could see the joists underneath to determine the problem.  He repaired the floor, making it smooth for the new linoleum.  All appliances were removed from the kitchen for the work and then reinstalled.
I'm very happy with the workman and the quality of work performed.  I will use Handyman Connection again.

"Marisol was a referral since I moved further away from my last cleaning professional. I did not find her on Angie's List. She is very thorough with her work when she is here, which I like since I am currently working from home. Marisol shows up on time and cleans my 3 bdr / 2-1/2 bath townhome. She cleans my floors and even gets my ceiling fans and high ceilings cleaned! She does wear a mask when in my home with COVID so I do appreciate this. Highly recommend her for your home!!"

"He shows up on time. He communicates very well. We had a plumbing emergency and he came right over. Very nice gentleman. He has fair prices and didn't rake us over the coals. He does excellent work, cleans up after himself, and takes the trash with him. He put our furniture together, hung our ceiling fans and lights, fixed our plumbing issue, etc."

FAQs for acoustic ceiling tiles install projects in Columbus, IN

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.
