"Angelo was hired to repair/replace drywall damage from a re-piping. His skills and service are truly impeccable, went above and beyond to help me put my house back together and the job is so well done you can't tell the walls and ceiling were patched. Angelo is also a very honest and genuine person, I would hire him again and intend to have him do some work on my mother's house."

"Diego is extremely profesional. He understands the customer needs, offers a competitive price and is open to feedback and in solving any issues. The work of ceilings is not an easy one, i know only learned a lot by removing all the texture of my home ceilings, but acknowledge so many factors to lead a nicely done job, including lighting, finishing, existing ceiling quality and construction finishing among others. Diegoâ s team were always very kind and respectful. As with any project, constant communication is the key to success. Thank you Diego! Until our next project"

"I am a 73 year old widow.. I have had an on going water leak in the ceiling of my master bedroom. After spending several thousand dollar in an attempt to repair the leak (to no avail) Hammer Construction was recommended to me. I am pleased to say they were efficient, timely, and successful... I wish I had known about them sooner, would have saved me some money. Thank you Humberto!"

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.
