"We found Patsy here on Angie's List and called him because of his A rating and because of all the complimentary reviews he received. He came over to meet us and look at the work we wanted done and we were impressed when we learned about his lengthy background in the construction business and the many different types of projects he had completed. We wanted him to construct, install and stain a wood bead board ceiling in a portico in front of our house that another contractor had left unfinished. He did a fantastic job at a reasonable price and we were extremely impressed with his perfectionist attention to detail and his expertise. Unlike other contractors we have worked with, he came when he said he would and finished on time, and checked in with us on specific details of the work and billed us as agreed upon. He is also a delightful and kind person as well! it has been a pleasure to work with him, and we highly recommend his work! We will definitely have him do more work for us in the future."

"Jermaine came through for me just in time. Needed 2 TVs hung up last minute and I’m more than pleased with the results. Came out that same day. Originally, I wanted the wires hidden in the living room, but my cables weren’t long enough to go through the walls. However, I’m still very very very pleased with the outcome. If you’re in need of handy work I’d definitely consider Sunny’s. Was in and out in less than an hour. Thank you guys again!"

"Maid to Clean Delaware is a family owned and operated professional cleaning service that is conscientious and meticulous about the services they provide. They use natural cleaners. My house always smells and looks so clean when they are done. Highly recommend."
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.
