"Rich was great about communication. He always confirmed before he came over and always got back to us when he said he would. I was really refreshing to work with someone that communicated so well. We quoted the job to three others and his was the most reasonable and the best experience. He takes time to explain things, gives you options, and is honest. We originally had him come in to restore and repair a leaky ceiling but had him do other general contract work because he s so great to work with. I highly recommend Rich."

"the taping on the drywall was peeling away from our 12year old townhouse, both on the walls and ceiling. Called Fabio from a review on Angie's list. He was very responsive to our call, coming over when he said he would and completed the job in less than 2 days.
i cannot comment on the price for we did not seek other bids, but it was certainly a job that i could not do and in the end you could not see any evidence of repairs, so for me it was well worth it.
Fabio had a very business like attitude, which i like, and did a very professional job. I would hire him again and in fact provided his name to a fiend in need of similar work...

"I needed my apartment cleaned because my ceiling was replaced and a bunch of dust and leftover sheet rock was on the floor. Silvana and her team did a very good job cleaning the apartment and took out all the garbage along with removing an old mattress that was there for a while. If I ever need help cleaning again I will definitely call them up. Not to mention they are also very honest. Thank you!!"

"Vincent and his crew did an excellent job remodeling my family room. The original scope of work was to remove old paneling and install new sheetrock. Along the way it was discovered that we had termite damage which resulted in replacing the beams of the entire outside wall. The crew worked long hours to install new beams, sheetrock, new windows, crown molding, new lighting, paint, etc. The end result was a beautiful new family room."

"Anush and his team were absolutely amazing, and our porch turned out better than we expected thanks to his ideas/recommendations. The attention to detail/pride they take in their work truly stand out and far exceeded our experiences with contractors in the past. One of my favorite parts is how much I genuinely love coming home now. It completely changed the look and feel of the front of our house, and every time I pull into the driveway it makes me happy to see it. I will absolutely be recommending AVSTEP to anyone planning renovations or building a home. We already have several more projects planned for our house in the coming months, and without question we’ll be using Anush and his team again. It’s such a great feeling to know we now have a contractor we genuinely trust and can confidently call whenever we need work done. Even our neighbors have been commenting on how beautiful the front of our house looks and what an incredible job they did. Below are the before and after pictures"

"I'm on a board for a condo association located in Wildwood, NJ and I contacted Scott in early September for various repair work that needed to be done at 2 of our 3 buildings. Finding a reputable, reliable contractor in South Jersey is hard to come by and the moment Scott came out for the initial estimate, I knew he was different. He was informative and knowledgeable, offering suggestions and solutions to my many questions. We hired Scott and were so happy with his work that we brought him back several more times for smaller projects and plan to continue using him. With each job that he's done, his communication, responsiveness and actual work have been amazing. Additionally, his prices are very reasonable and competitive. I’m so happy with SCS that I’m considering hiring them for a small kitchen remodel in my personal condo. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, honest contractor that does excellent work, I would highly recommend Scott and SCS Construction."

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.
