"We hired Higgins Construction to put in an egress window and replace an additional window in our basement. Mike was great to work with, as was his crew. The work they performed was clean and timely and we are extremely satisfied with how both windows turned out. We will definitely be returning to Higgins Construction for future projects!"

"We had MudSlingers patch up our ceiling in our basement and the team was so great to work with! Troy was quick to schedule a consultation and was able to get us on the books to complete the work. The team did a great job and left the space clean. You would never know we have any type of damage now. Thank you!"

"Andres Hernandez and His Painting Crew showed up on the date and time that they were scheduled and they gave us feedback about the difficulty of removing a popcorn ceiling that had been sprayed many times, over the past 100 yrs. The kitchen ceiling knock-down looks great, and the living room ceiling results (without them being able to completely remove the popcorn) looks good - much better than before their professional efforts. I would hire them again and will recommend Hernandez Painting to others. I want to especially thank Andres Hernandez for his thoughtful, reduced estimate submitted to complete the kitchen and living room ceiling painting project, for my neighbor, who is a Vietnam Veteran, and who has a very limited monthly income. His kindness, respect, and appreciation for our Veterans, deserve applause! I am very thankful that Andres and his painting crew made this project possible, for my friend and Veteran neighbor."

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.
