"There aren't enough stars. We hired Mike to finish our basement and we are extremely happy with his finished product. Mike is an incredibly hard worker with mad drywall skills at a very reasonable price compared to other quotes we got. We had an issue with inspections due to covid, but Mike was very accommodating and worked with us. I honestly cannot recommend Mike's Drywall & Acoustical Ceilings enough."

"Wes was very quick in his response. Wes and Jay came out and repaired my bathroom ceiling. Drywall was replaced then retextured in the same day. Quick and great service. Now I can put my house on the market next week!"

"We had damage from leaks in the roof. After getting the roof fixed AB Drywall came in and patched a couple of holes and remudded the entire ceiling. They apply the mud so that no sanding is needed. The ceiling looked great when they finished. We couldn't have been more pleased with the work."

"I’m an out of town landlord and appreciate having someone I can rely on to take care of repairs and be honest with me. Mike is that guy. He replaced an interior door, replaced 2 ceiling fans and power washed the house. Everything was done with great care. He let me know about a couple of other items he saw, sent pictures, gave me a fair price and all is well. He even paid my tenant’s grandsons for helping him out! I definitely recommend Mike!"

"Fast forward seven months later... I noticed water stains on the dining room ceiling again. I contacted Mr. Vince regarding the situation and he respectfully offered to dispatch someone to redo the ceiling for a small fee. This was not in my budget so I asked Mr. Vince for advise and he was kind enough to give it.. After receiving his useful advice I attempted the work myself. Needless to say it was an amateur job but it held up during the holidays. However, I will need to hire a professional to get the finish I want."

"For a long time we have wanted to have our popcorn ceilings removed. Fear of the big messy job kept us from doing it. Glad we finally did. The fear were unfounded as the prep work captured the big mess."

FAQs for acoustic ceiling tiles install projects in Cornelius, NC

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.
