"They did an excellent and clean job. The price is awesooome!!! I started by doing the ceiling and ended up remodeling other places in my home. I gave the contact information to my office maintenance manager and he was delighted with the work they did on the ceiling at my job."

"We needed to replace a patch of our living room ceiling due to damage from a water leak upstairs. We contacted C&B, who responded and quoted us a price quickly. The price was fair for a multi-day job, they got it done within a week, and they even helped us repaint the ceiling. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We'd strongly recommend!"

"Abdul Perry and crew did a fantastic job. Diligent workers, meticulous work. Cleaned up at the end of every day. The price was fair. They even took care of the rot around some windows and walls. No hidden fees, no unnecessary work done. We will definitely be hiring them for future projects."

"Timber was recommended by our realtor. He is very professional, provided updates on a regular basis, excellent communication and very accurate from his estimate to final bill. He was very reasonable in his pricing, and trustworthy to get the the job done. We had a few additional things pop up while he was at our home working (we couldn't get a water filter changed, a ceiling fan was not working) but he offered to help and replace a few extra things while he was there...a very knowledgeable and helpful handyman! We plan to hire this company again if we need additional work done."

"I couldn?t be happier with the service I received from Overstate Roofing. From the very first interaction, their team was courteous, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I truly appreciated how they took the time to walk me through the repair that needed to be hammered out. They were upfront about the scope of work, and communicated clearly throughout the process. The repair was efficiently, the workmanship exceptional, and my roof looks secure and good as new. I felt confident that the job was handled correctly. What impressed me most was their professionalism and care. They respected my property, left everything clean and orderly, and made sure I was comfortable with the results before wrapping up. That level of consideration goes a long way."

"JGF Painting have a great team! They did an excellent job."
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.
