"Rey and his team were outstanding! They were able to schedule the work quickly. They painted multiple rooms and ceilings for us. Because he had a crew, Rey was completed the entire job in one day. The attention to detail and his quality of his work was unsurpassed. Additionally has price points where at or below all of the other quotes we requested. As long as I live in the Chicago area I will never look for painting anyone to complete painting for me other than Rey! 👍🏼👌🏼"

"The work involved adding drywall to change the height of a closet door and repair damage, replacing trim on entry door, installing closet doors and paint. Peter was a pleasure to deal with. He and his staff responded promptly to all communications. He showed up on time every time and did a great job. Highly recommend."

"I hired them to install three exterior lights, by my front and back doors & garage. I had the fixtures, just needed someone to install. Good work at a reasonable price. I subsequently hired them to fix some wood rot by my garage door. Ivan cams in, cut out and replaced the bad pieces, caulked and repainted. Excellent job!"

"This was the most fantastic experience I've had with a cleaning service. I e-mailed on a weekday night to schedule service, and I received a call back the next morning from Elliot, first thing. I was given a clear explanation of the services, fielded a LOT of questions (so that we were on the same page), and was able to schedule a cleaning for that week. On the scheduled day, Elliot arrived with the cleaning woman, who did not speak very much English, but who was VERY nice and very helpful in every way. We walked through exactly what rooms needed cleaning, as well as whether she was to clean AROUND things or pick up things and move everything in order to do a more thorough job. I appreciated that, since certain things I wanted moved/lifted/thorough, while others (like their bedrooms), I just wanted a brief vacuum. We also discussed how long it would take. I was surprised by the estimate (5 hours seemed low for how dirty everything was), and I was even more surprised that it came in right at 5 hours. The job was thorough, and she happily cleaned a few things that I pointed out. When she left she slid the invoice under my door, and Elliot charged my credit card (which he took before he left). I would definitely use them again."

"We needed crown molding & painting in 3 of our rooms, dining, living, and den. Nermin came to the house and took measurements. The next day he emailed us a quote for material and labor. We then agreed to terms and a date to begin the project. Nermin brought his crew on the agreed date and they were able to complete the project in one day. Our house is old and the ceiling/walls are uneven. Therefore, Nermin had to do extra work to acheive the right fit. The end result is gorgeous...paint and all! My wife and purchased this home for several reasons, but one thing that attracted us the most was the kitchen. It had recently been remodeled and we fell in love with it. After working w/ Nermin, we learned he had actually done the remodeling w/ the previous owners. New cabinets, tiles, appliances, insulation, granite counter tops, etc. The kitchen is an attraction to all of our guests. It is where we host all of our social gatherings. Nermin has done many projects for us in the past and will continue in the future. He is extremely trustworthy & dependable. The first time he did work for us he had me come to his home to see the beautiful word work he had handcrafted in his living room and kitchen. He has also done work for our neighbors and friends throughout Chicagoland."

"All Pro Painters were just excellent. They were on top of things from the start. They gave me a really fair quote, and weâ re able to start my project shortly after. I had a whole demo and remodel done in the basement, so it was quite an undertaking. The guys came out and worked hard. They installed new moldings on the floor and ceiling. I had them paint the whole basement as well, they made me feel really confident they could get the job done and they executed it extremely well. The place looks amazing! These guys are full service! Had them come back for a smaller bathroom project, same quality and expert work as the basement. They also did a beautiful job with the bath tub tiles. Couldnâ t be happier. Thanks All Pro!"

"They did an amazing job. We had tackled the kitchen stove and some tough wall marks ourselves, but it wasn't good enough for our landlord. So we hired Express Maid. They were very punctual and performed excellent service. Our landlord was pleased and gave us back our full deposit. Additionally the price was extremely competitive. I would hire them back in a heartbeat!!"


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.
