"Luke's drywall man, Hymie, did an excellent patch job ( about a 4 X 6 foot area) on our basement ceiling! He matched the popcorn texture with the rest of the ceiling perfectly! I would highly recommend 3rd Generation Drywall."

"This father-and-son team is the real deal for popcorn ceiling removal. They do phenomenal work at an extremely affordable price! Other companies are charging double to triple the price, and one told us we had to take everything out of the house. With their technique, we did not have to take anything out of the house. Willford and his son respect your home, are meticulous and very detailed, and clean up every day before leaving. After they finished, our ceilings looked so good, they looked like they had already been painted! We are still amazed at how good our ceilings look. Fast Drywall does awesome work! I wish I could upload the pictures we took of our ceilings but Angi does not allow us to do it. They are super! I highly recommend Fast Drywall Repair!!"

"We hired Juan to paint our ceiling, walls, and baseboards. He did a great job. Juan also fixed some drywall patches around the house. He was very personable. He did a great job explaining the process of what was going to be done and how much everything was going to cost. I highly recommend him. We will definitely be using Juan again for future projects."

"They installed a metal roof on a large outbuilding next to my house. They did a great job and were very easy to work with. I'm very happy 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.
