"We had an excellent experience. They were professional, and the quality of the work was outstanding. After we paid and the work was completed we called them with a request to redo an area of the ceiling and they came and fixed the problem to our satisfaction. Would definitely rehire if needed."

"Samuel is extremely competent, timely, responsive, and transparent. Unfortunately, we had a roof installed a few years ago by a company who cut corners, and STMZ came to repair two separate leaks in the “new” roof. He documented every step of the process with photos, and explained what he was doing. (Most contractors, in my experience, do not take the time to explain the process to you!) I highly recommend his services, and if we ever need to replace the roof, STMZ will be the company we will call."

"Ebenezer and his team are professional, courteous and experienced. it is refreshing to see when a company truly cares about their workmanship and total client satisfaction. He is a Master of his Craft and it shows. Throughout the process he made sure I was completely informed and ensured my high standards were met. I was very vocal about what I wanted and expected. They painted my entire home, Ceiling, Crown Moldings, Walls and Baseboards. All this work was done without a drop of paint on my brand-new floors or driveway. I mention this because the last So Called Painter I hired on my own, painted my walls and everything else he was not supposed to! Hire a Real Professional on Home Advisor. I highly recommend Ebenezer Faife Painting Services on HomeAdvisor!"

"My ceiling had substantial water damage due to a major plumbing leak in my condo, so much so that a large portion of my ceiling had to be replaced. I called Roger and he was quick to respond, he showed up exactly when he said he would and looked the problem over. The issues this place was having with the plumbing and drywall work required a professional to fix the problem. He repaired all damages in a very short period of time to brand new condition, I was impressed by not only the turnaround time but the outstanding quality of the repairs. I rate his services excellent due to professionalism and a high degree of proficiency in home repair. I would definitely recommend his services for any of your jobs. I've included pics of the damage and work done."

"Herder and his crew arrived on time and did a great job on a drywall project I had. Ceiling looks new."
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.
