"John gave me an estimate over the summer after letting me know his schedule wasn't open until fall. After looking at the sagging plaster ceilings in our 1920s house, he recommended covering with drywall, and he did the work in December. John and his colleague did two ceilings in 4 days (about 700 square feet total) and they are a huge improvement. We're already planning to hire him again!"

"My church hired pristine ceilings to install a new acoustical, drop ceiling in a 4,400sf multi purpose church hall. New ceiling had to be attached to an existing 2 x 2 coffered concrete ceiling structure. Scott provided many options in terms of pricing, quality and acoustic properties. He made it easy for our property team to decide on the best option that would work within our budget. Scott always returned our calls promptly. We were especially pleased with the high level of craftsmanship that Scott and his team employed. They were able to wrap trim and tile neatly around our round columns. I would highly recommend Scott Mason of Pristine Acoustical Ceilings for any business or residential project. Their work is absolutely top notch!!!"

"Antonio was hard to get a hold of initially and it took several weeks of leaving messages to find a good time for him to even discuss our project. However we felt this wait was well worth it as the complete dining room remodeling job he did for us turned out beautifully. Antonio communicated with us nearly every day about the project, and his crew left the house in spotless condition at the end of each day. We picked out the insulation, lighting, paint colors and woodwork types and Antonio did everything else with little direction. He arranged for all town permits and inspections as well as sub-contractors for electricity, flooring and insulation. Four years later, we are still extremely pleased with how this room looks.

"I am very picky about the quality of both my work and a contractors. Deschenes Acoustics did a fantastic job. The ceiling looks great. It is nice when a contractor shows up when they say and calls you back when you have a question. They did both. Cleaned up all the scrap material at the end of the day leaving the job site as they found it. Highly recommend Mark and his crew."

"I hired Master Plastering to replace and paint a water damaged entryway ceiling. A representative came to my home, took pictures of the ceiling, made measurements, and emailed an estimated within an hour. The price quote was detailed and quite reasonable. A week later, a plastering crew arrived and pulled down the damaged ceiling, put up blue board, and skim coated the entire ceiling in a half day. Three days later, a paint crew arrived to prime and paint the new ceiling, again in about a half day. My wife and I very pleased with the work done. The crews were courteous, efficient, and cleaned up the area they worked on and in after completing their work."

"We hired Kevin to sheetrock, mud, tape and sand 365 sq ft of basement ceiling and box in a beam and lally column. All surfaces came out smooth and beautiful, we are truly pleased with his work! Kevin did everything as we wished and was punctual, courteous and clean. We would definitely hire Kevin again and recommend him to any family and friends looking for a great drywall guy!"

"The work went really well. Once Pedro’s team got started they worked really quickly on the project, and were even able to accommodate additional work that we added on as we went (once the popcorn ceilings were removed we decided to have the ceilings and walls painted, and a new light fixture added to the dining room). Everything was finished quickly and looks great!"

"I was buying a new house, the home inspector had some questions about the attic joists and suggested I have a professional take a look at them. I needed it done quickly and I called three contractors. Matt from MMP was the only one that called me back the same day and agreed to come look at them the next day. He showed up on time, suggested a remedy and gave me an estimate. After buying the house I had him complete the work. It was done as promised in a very tight and dirty attic space, they cleaned up before leaving. I also chose Matt to replace my roof after getting three estimates. The crew did the complete job, chimney flashing, ice and water shield, small roof repair and venting channels in the attic. Clean up was great, no mess left in the yard. He was not the lowest estimate but all the work was done without any additional charges. I was very pleased with the results."

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.
