"Garth did a great job on our bathroom ceiling. He is friendly, punctual, and was a great communicator. He gave us tips to keep the ceiling from peeling. We chose to paint the ceiling ourselves and he suggested what product to use to effectively do so."

"Mark and Twin Cities Drywall were great! Mark was very responsive and communicated with me throughout the process of the project. Once it was all done the ceilings look fantastic! They also did a wonderful job of cleaning up after. I'm actually using Mark and Twin Cities Drywall for some painting and other patchwork throughout my house because of his work on my ceilings."

"He was very busy so the project took longer than expected with multiple visits (2). However, he was personable, the work was done well (install new bathroom ceiling exhaust and paint the ceiling), the cleanup was good, and the price was fair. I am happy with the outcome and would consider hiring him again."

"Kathryn and Perry came out to our house to give us a very competitive bid for popcorn removal/knockdown replacement - a project that, now I've had done for me made, me realize there is 0% chance of someone doing this on their own in under a month. They explained the steps needed, how they would repair some areas of need, what we would have as a finished ceiling, the timing and the MESS! Yes, they made sure to set us up for what was going to happen. They protected absolutely everything we couldn't move out of the way. Cut to today, and I absolutely love the ceilings. They are literally error-free and just beautiful. It's hard to describe how much nicer the whole house looks now. Could not have been a better solution. Highly recommend Performqnce Plus for this hard project!"

"Jerry was responsive from the get-go and genuinely invested in helping us fix the ceiling mess. He assessed the damage and did a great job with the repair. He was friendly and even offered to give us some tips on how to do some of this type of work ourselves in the future. He has a strong sense of integrity that comes through in his thoroughness and is committed to making customers happy. We'd use his services again!"

"Colin built and stained a custom designed 10x12 pergola as part of our backyard landscaping. The pergola has trim on the bottom and top, and custom lattice on one and a half sides. We wanted the pergola to run part of the way along the house side to cover the water meter but still give access to the meter if needed by the meter reader, and Colin ingeniously determined that the side could be hinged and have hidden latches, allowing it to swing open if needed.
He was open to our ideas for the design, and added suggested options for how to proceed. He checked in with us as the work proceeded to double check the spacing of the top pieces of wood, the height of the top, the stain color, etc, which was really helpful to achieving the end result we had envisioned.
He was punctual, polite, friendly, cleaned up each day, and his workmanship is excellent.
We highly recommend.

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.
