"We did an extensive remodeling of our condo in Waikoloa. JG builders did an outstanding job. Jonathan made several helpful suggestions that helped us turn our nice condo into a real show place and made it more functional as well. We have seen several other projects that JG builders have done and they have all turned out beautifully. JG builders work is high quality and they are great to work with."

"Harry and his team of dedicated professionals were amazing from start to finish. From providing a fast and reasonable quote. The ceilings were 20 feet high in some places and they expertly protected the home and custom built scaffolding. They were always on time and were very respectful of the home and occupants. Even thought he nature of this work is very messy and dusty, they did an excellent job of keeping things livable during the week of disruption. They are the drywall choice in Honolulu!"

"I contacted Kurt after reading reviews on Angie's List because I am fairly new to the island. I originally hired Kurt to replace my entire 1st floor with tile but I ended up having him do much more than that. . I noticed right off that Kurt takes a lot of pride in his work and he has tremendous attention to detail. We have walls with rounded corners and he cut the tile perfectly to fit around those corners. We later decided to put in base boards and he again did excellent work around the rounded corners of our walls. He is a very skilled craftsman and is meticulous in his work making sure every tile was laid properly. My project ended up morphing into a larger one as I discovered his many talents. He also did beautiful work on our back splash. He has a great design eye and made some suggestions that really enhanced our downstairs. I would highly recommend Kurt and I would hire him again for projects I may have in the future."

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.
