"We are remodeling our basement and needed to have drywall installed on the ceilings and walls in two new rooms. We hired Kris and his guys to do this and we are very happy that we did. From the very first contact, Kris was responsive and quickly came to give us a quote. We scheduled the work and Kris was there exactly when he said he would be each day. The work was completed on time and the quality is excellent. The attention to detail is outstanding and they cleaned up each day when they were done. They even worked the weekend to make sure they would not have to reschedule their next job. They were friendly and professional at all times. I highly recommend Kris and his guys. We will be doing more work soon and we have already discussed this with Kris and plan to have him back. It is very gratifying when you find a top-notch contractor that not only does exactly what they say but that you trust to the point where you can leave them in the home without you being there."

"Such a nice young man! There was another gentleman who helped. Both are great workers who did a perfect job of repairing the hole in our ceiling which was caused by a leak from the upstairs shower. If we ever need another drywall repair I would definitely call Tamer."

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.
