"Ivan did a tremendous job installed my ceiling fans. Fast communication and did quality work. One of our fans needed some drywall ceiling work done and it looks fantastic, blended in perfectly into the ceiling. Greatly exceeded my expectations!"

"Taulant did a great job with my small drywall project. He arrived last Saturday morning and finished the job later that afternoon. I will do my own painting and I'm confident it will look seamless once painted. I strongly recommend him"

"Our experience with AP Builder was great. Angelo was very knowledgeable and professional, keeping us informed every step of the way. This was a big important project for our home and I am extremely happy with how it came out! The cost was very reasonable and there were no surprises, everything was open and honest. I would definitely use them again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you AP!"

"We hired them for a detailed clean of our house before a graduation party. Walls, floors, bathrooms, kitchen and everything in-between. We did a walk through at the beginning to make sure we were all on the same page. So detailed! We will definitely hire them again!"

"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!"

"This guy is an artist working with drywall, I hate to do demolition. So Jose will do repairs and after he finishes you would say thats a brand new wall. I do have pictures from the jobs he has done in my properties."

"Prompt and thorough. Would use again."
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.
