Customers say: Quality work
"Mark came to our home to put a drop ceiling in, and he was finished in just a few hours. He was extremely professional and very helpful in starting to plan future projects with us. We are trying to get a lot of projects done in our home at once, and this company is the ONLY one who hasn't given us any grief. I would highly recommend using Deschenes Acoustics for all your drop ceiling needs. I wish he did floors and plumbing, too! lol."

"We ended needing a lot more work, so they didn't actually do the work and we got refunded. And then we needed to get a quote from them for insurance purposes and there wasn't really any follow up. Our insurance company wanted to talk to them and negotiate and then we didn't hear anything after that. I don't have any complaints it's just that they wouldn't do any small repairs cause they said that the roof needed a lot more."

"Dan arrived on time and completed the insulation replacement and installation much faster than we expected. He also left the space spotless, which was a pleasant surprise. The tiled ceiling looks fantastic and has significantly improved the appearance of our basement! We really recommend his services and will definitely keep his contact for further projects!"

"After remodeling our basement, kitchen, and master bath we couldn't be happier with Perry Brothers Construction. Bill and his crew have completed numerous small and large scale projects for us and I've always felt like a priority customer."

"Norman Builders was a great partner in our home addition project. It's no surprise to anyone that construction projects encounter hiccups and this one was no exception. Norman Builders, however, was very responsive, competent in resolving unanticipated conditions, and communicated every step of the way. Their attention to detail was meticulous and they clearly took pride in their work. We highly recommend them!"

"We hired Bertie Walsh to re-do our garage ceiling which had been incorrectly repaired by a different contractor (not a contractor found on Angie's List). Bertie was a godsend because after he removed the ceiling he pointed out to us that the previous contractor had failed to connect the blue board to the joist (not sure if that's the right word) and there also wasn't any strapping holding it to the subsurface, which would have caused it to eventually bow out. Bertie put a new section of ceiling up and finished it with plaster and did a remarkable job matching the existing ceiling.
Bertie is quiet and hard working. No fluff with this guy. He's an honest, no-nonsense guy who will give you a very reasonable quote, will show up when he says he will, and then quietly and diligently do the work. He cleaned up well after the work was completed. I found myself looking for other things that needed plastering or handiwork around the house just so we could hire him again. Yep, he is that good!

"The work done on two ceilings was excellent and of high quality. They were extremely knowledgeable about their business as well as being very professional. They made sure that they completed the work in a timely and efficient way. They did everything they could to make this work assignment produce the best possible result and I am extremely pleased with everything they completed. I would most certainly hire them again for any additional work needed in my home."

"The job went very well! Brandon was punctual, right on-time! He brought his equipment and tools inside and then covered the staircase with cloth tarps to protect them. He also placed large sturdy paper covering on the flooring, all the way to the front door! The paper quality was high grade and was taped to the floor. D M Plastering is professional, highly skilled and service focused. I would definitely use them again! DJC, Methuen"
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.
