"Itâ s rare to hear contractors complement the work of other contractors. I recently had a drop ceiling placed. The contractor that came after to do a different part of the job was commenting on how well the ceiling was done. I think that speaks volumes to the work that was provided."

"Very well organized and efficient work crew. Project was a new sound isolating ceiling, patch and refinish all electrician wall holes to match existing drywall finish, and, refinish fireplace bricks to match and blend into existing adjacent connecting drywall finish. Family company that delivered star professional results. Special acknowledgement, this was my first time contracting with them, and, after starting them for a day and a half I had to leave on business mid-way into their part of the project, however, all work jobs were performed and completed on time as discussed and according to specifications with great looking results. I look forward to working with them again on any future projects."

"Al and his team have been fantastic in both service and workmanship. We needed a shower replaced in our rental home. He not only provided a number of options, but recommended ways to save money as well. The work project itself, Al made sure if there were any concerns we had, he addressed it promptly. We plan to use C&H for a number of other smaller handyman projects we need done both immediately and any others in the future."

"Beautifully. I asked that the wall be plastered smooth rather than textured as the previous wall had been and it was completed with a perform, smooth finish. The ceiling was a patch and needed to have the texture matched and he did that seamlessly."

"They were careful to make sure no damage was done to the above balcony or any of the other boards/stucco they were in contact with. They did a great job and left the site as clean as they found it. Nice to know there are people out there who will come in and do these smaller projects at a reasonable price."

"I was a very lucky customer receiving a message from Mark with Russel Interior Systems. As a new business owner finding reliable contractors for repair work is very difficult to find. No job is to small for Mark!! as other contractors I spoke to were not very helpful for our small repair project. Mark is responsive and arrived on time on the day scheduled! Thank you Mark for assisting with our Tbar ceiling repairs. See you again soon as I will be grateful to work with Mark again!."

"The job went fabulously. Joseph did an amazing job on a very bowed wall in a 1960’s home. He was attentive to my many concerns, he was professional and very neat. I was NOT disappointed in any way."

"Calroc also did the whole house painting inside after they removed our popcorn ceiling. They installed the 2 bath sinks/meds cabinet, a vanity light in the master bath and fixed a small portion of our laminate floor. They came on time and stayed late to finish the days' work. Jorge sent us a clear contract of what the project will be and was very prompt with his response to our texts/calls. Cesar's crew even helped us move some heavy furnitures. After they were done, there was very little clean-up to be done. A few months after the job was done I had to contact Jorge because there was a very slow leak under one of the sinks. He was again very quick to respond, worked with me to schedule an inspection and sent Cesar to find where the leak is coming from and got it fixed. I would hire these guys again for their work ethic! Thanks Jorge for a great customer service!"
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.
