"Awesome job. Very professional. I was worried about the mess the drywall was going to make because we were getting work done all over our house but Ryan and his team cleaned every spec of drywall dust. Communicated well with myself and my wife because we were in and out during the week process. Drywall looks great. Would definitely hire again. Side note Ryan also hung an entryway light (20ft high ceiling) that my wife had bought and had been sitting around. 5 stars!"

"Malbec Builder team did a complete re-model of my casita for a rental and it turned out wonderfully. They did paint, installed a mini-split AC unit. Added a sink and counter as well as re-did the flooring in the unit. It turned out wonderfully and I would definitely hire them again for another project. Wade and Darryl were very attentive and made sure I was happy at each step of the process."

"Luis understood what I needed. He made good suggestions. He moved some big pieces of furniture for me, assembled a pantry and a complicated bed, laid out tarps outside to protect items from rain and wind, and replaced a bathroom faucet. With his experience and skills he can do a variety of jobs. His estimates and prices are very reasonable. Luis is reliable, kind, and thoughtful. I will book him again. I highly recommend Luis."

Small jobs welcome
My name is Rose I’m a professional housekeeper and reliable hardworking person i give 100% in my work you won’t be disappointed
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.
