"It was a pleasure to work with this company from start to finish. Because the structure was preexisting, walls that were not square made the bookcase a challenge, but Devin took special care to work the details until it was right. The subs all did equally excellent work, were respectful of our home and did careful cleanup. Everyone involved took obvious care to create a quality product."

"We loved working with DreamMaker. We had a pretty clear idea of what we wanted our kitchen and dining area to look like, but were unsure if it was going to be possible and what materials should be used. Mr. Everett listened closely to what we wanted and delivered in every aspect. He was able to rearrange our kitchen so that the flow is much better and provide us with custom built-in shelves and bench. He not only pointed us in the right direction for the big things like counter-tops, but also for the backsplash, drawer pulls, and lighting fixtures. All our work was done efficiently and Mr. Everett's team went above and beyond whenever an unexpected problem occurred. I am confident that all the work was done thoroughly and that I will not have any problems in the foreseeable future. The same team arrived promptly at my house every day and worked diligently so that the job was done in the time frame originally quoted to us, despite some additional plumbing work that was necessary. Because the same workers were in my house everyday, I felt comfortable coming and going and knew that my house was in good hands. If I ever had a question or concern about anything, I would text Mr. Everett and he would always get back to me very quickly, even on the weekends or at night. He was also very quick to come to the house if anything was ever needed. I have not experienced such great customer service with any other company. The materials used for our new kitchen are beautiful, and I feel that we had everything done for a very fair price. I would highly recommend DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen because of their ethics in every regard. Their goal is to make your remodeling job as easy for you as possible while providing you with a quality product that you will love."

"It went extremely well. We were very pleased with the design Calvin Lee presented to us and it made our kitchen a show stopper. We would also like to make note that Adam Basci, the project manager was very detailed and through in his approach to the remodeling and his crew handled the demo, cabinetry and installation in a timely and professional manner"

"I have known Lily for almost 30 years. She and her team are hard working, honest and efficient. My favorite day of the week is always the day that Lily and her team has come to clean the house! They leave no stone unturned - they even take the knobs off the oven and clean underneath! Every picture frame is dusted and the ceiling fans are wiped clean! The bathrooms and the kitchen are sparkling - it is just terrific. You will not go wrong hiring Continental Housecleaning."

"I had a small pipe burst in my home, which flooded and damaged the ceiling and drywall down two levels. Bobby responded quickly and gave me an estimate for full replacement of the affected areas. He showed up when he said he would and was very professional and easy to work with. The work was done exceptionally well and I couldn't be more pleased. He is meticulous in his work, and he cleaned up spotlessly each day. It was a pleasure working with him, and I will definitely be hiring him for future projects. I highly recommend him."

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.
