"Best drywall work that I have had done in any of my homes in the past few years. Excellent customer service, finished the job on time, and pricing was great. We had a fair amount of big seams to fix as we took out a wall and scraped the entire downstairs ceilings popcorn off. They made easy work of a big job. Already planning on hiring them for another up coming project. 10/10 recommend"

"This project was the an awesome and fun process! From experience I haven't had a lot of faith in general contractors. Larry Rowland is the best contractor I have ever encountered! He went above and beyond to make sure the project was to perfection. He made sure everything was as I expected and made sure I was completely happy before he left! He is so easy to work with which was a pleasure compared to other projects. My husband and I have other projects in the works and I am so excited to work with Larry and his team again in the near future. I love the way it has changed my kitchen! I love, love, love it!!! Thank you Larry your the best!!"

"We have used Ace for several jobs over the years: Deck rebuild, ceiling repair and most recently, interior painting. They do outstanding work in a timely professional manner. Mark responds quickly to any questions or concerns. The crew really hustle and will finish your job with no cutting corners, on time, and make minimal mess and clean up after themselves. Each job they've done we've been thrilled with the results. I would not consider anyone else for any of the type of work they do. You will not be disappointed!"

"I hired OTS Enterprises to remove the popcorn acoustic ceiling in my home, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The crew was professional, on time, and very respectful of my space. They took the time to properly prep the area, protect everything, and clean up after the work was done. The ceiling came out smooth and looks completely refreshed. You can tell they take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. Communication was clear throughout the process, and they delivered exactly what they promised. If you’re looking for someone to remove popcorn ceilings and do it the right way, I would definitely recommend OTS Enterprises."

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.
