"After two failed attempts to repair minor cracks in our ceiling, Mike was truly a godsend! The previous two contractors left large lumps and could not match the ceiling texture. Our ceilings were unsightly! Mike responded to our call within 24 hours, and did the work 4 days later. He is a true artist and we wish we had started with him! He is a hard worker, arrives on time with outstanding quality. He does drywall repair as well. You will not be disappointed!"

"ProFinish Drywall was quick to respond to all communications. Gave us an excellent outcome on a difficult job (removing a popcorn ceiling and painting over very old drywall) at a reasonable price. Luan is a hard worker, very efficient and a pleasure to work with. They also left the room nice and clean. We look forward to working with them again."

"Matthew removed the damaged ceiling and showed me the damage that was caused by the toilet leak in the apartment above mine. He did the removal of old, damaged ceiling really quickly and was careful to keep it sealed in plastic bags for removal. He moved up the appointment by 4 days, which I appreciated. The replacement of new ceiling went very well and he made sure that the ceiling was finished with the same orange peel effect. Job well done. Hard worker, very courteous."

"I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was to do business with owners Lisa and Mark and their workers. The price was reasonable, they showed up on time, and did the work promised. You can imagine what a mess it is to redo the popcorn ceilings - in addition I had to live here while they were completing the project. It went very smoothly. They covered and protected everything and cleaned up every evening over a week and a half. The workers were very detail oriented. Some of my chandeliers were "delicate" meaning multiple parts. They were patient and hung the lights just as I requested. The outside of the house looks great also. I knew when I purchased the home that I would have to fix the rot on the siding. The hurricane had me move up this project as some water seeped into my kitchen ceiling. When the workers were redoing the ceilings, they fixed the stain on the ceiling, as well as on the wall. I highly recommend and would not hesitate to use Smith Remodeling for any projects you have. I was very lucky to find them - it is difficult to find reliable, competent and honest companies/workers for hire in this area."

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.
