Customers say: Quality work
"She came in with a team of 4 and they really did a great job cleaning my home from top to bottom. My mirrors shined wonderfully and I could actually see clearly out of my windows! They cleaned windowsills and my ceiling fans and dusted, vacuumed and overall did a really good job. They came in on time and finished about a half hour early. The price was fair especially for all of the work that was done. And my stove looked brand new. I was so impressed that I am having them come back on a regular basis until my place sells."

"Above and Beyond Construction recently completed an almost whole-house renovation including a family room addition, a fully remodeled kitchen, relocated stairways, three bathrooms, and a finished basement. The addition seamlessly blends with the original spaces, making it feel like a natural extension of my home. The work is detailed and outstanding to the point that visitors do not know where the original 1911 house ends and the 2024 house begins. The highly skilled craftsmen matched the woodwork details of the original house to the new addition perfectly. Chester is easy to work with, has a positive outlook, and a good sense of humor. He will work with you to answer questions, provide suggestions, and address concerns throughout the renovation process. Above and Beyond transformed my little frame house from an outdated, decades-neglected, design and décor calamity left by the prior owners into an elegant space that honors tradition yet transcends centuries."

"Dave's crew was excellent. They installed new drywall in an existing skylight well, and repaired cracks in our ceiling in several rooms. They were very clean and were very meticulous... Fantastic paint lines! Would definitely hire them again!"

"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!"

"Completely renovated a master bath with everything custom. - Jody & Brian did wonderful job. Jody is very detailed and has very clever ideas on look and style. Start to finish job went perfectly. I have used them in the past and would definitely use them in the future. Highly recommed them for what ever kind of job you have in mind - no BS they tell you like it is and then do what they say they will do, and they stand behind their work!"

"The ladies arrived on time...
I showed the around the house and gave instructions as to what I wanted done.
They went to work immediately!
Basically, Bathrooms (2) Sanitized
Rooms Dusted and Vacuumed
Kitchen - Wipe down of counters and appliances
I was extremely surprised that they even washed the dishes, which I was not expecting!
They also cleaned each ceiling fan... which I didn't even think about.
All my hard floors were swept and mopped.
They also vacuumed the stairs leading up to the bedrooms and the stairs leading to the basement wreck room!
They worked hard and fast!

"We hired Jack some time ago for some big jobs and are having issues now because of shoddy work done at the time. First, both bathrooms’ ceilings were painted with flat paint. Over time, the moisture caused the paint to flake and mold to form. A semi- gloss should have been used, which I would have expected a professional to know. We had them install a jacuzzi tub. The plumber mixed the hot and cold lines. We had to shut the water to the jacuzzi off to be able to get hot water in the shower. We will be selling soon and this will not be a cheap fix. The upper cabinets they installed in the kitchen are coming off of the ceiling. The rest of the work was okay, but not happy about having unprofessional with done after we paid so much."
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.
