"Both times this guy was out, all he told me was what he can't do. Just be aware that they do not do any patching or fixing of walls before painting - they just paint "as is" and nothing more. He also discouraged all of my ideas for remodelling my office/craft room and laundry room the first time he came out - specifically he told me I couldn't put beadboard on the ceiling when I know several people who have done it themselves and it looks great."

"I cannot recommend this cleaning company highly enough! I hired them to do a deep clean on a three-story townhome to get it ready for the rental market, and they exceeded every expectation. Preparing a rental property is always stressful, but they made the transition seamless. Managing three floors of living space is no small feat, but the team tackled it with incredible efficiency and attention to detail. Here is what really impressed me: Flawless Attention to Detail: They didn't just do a surface wipe-down. They got into every nook and cranny, from the baseboards and window tracks to the inside of the appliances and cabinets. Tackled the High-Traffic Areas: With three floors, stairs can be a nightmare to get perfectly clean. They made the stairwells and banisters look brand new. Professional & Reliable: They arrived right on time, brought all their own high-quality supplies, and worked tirelessly until the job was done."

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.
