"I will rehire LD Remodeling. Just when you think the art of true craftsmanship is lost, Angie's List pulls out one of the best in the business from their hat. Louis, owner of LD remodeling, is honest and reasonably priced. He showed up on time when he came to look at the job. Then he and his staff the day of. Both were professional, respectful of my property and had a high level of attention to detail every step of the way. My kitchen island was standard, typically built and an actual eyesore. LD Remodeling's finish work looks like a custom-made Island that now matches and sinks with the rest of my kitchen cabinets. It's hard to find true craftsmanship these days that understands and knows the trade. Louis and his staff did not disappoint they are the Michel Agelo when it comes to craftsmanship."

"CertaPro came, answered all our questions, and gave us an accurate estimate. We had told them that we would buy the paint, but it turned out that they could get the same paint cheaper (Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint), so we had them buy it. They weren't the cheapest bid we got, but they were affordable enough that we had them paint our deck, too. Very high quality work! Great communication throughout."

"Robert knew just what to do. He explained everything very thoroughly. He then went to purchase the needed materials and get a paint match to the existing trim. He returned promptly and got the entire room sealed on the outside. No more rain or bugs and the ceiling fan works great!!"

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.
