"We hired Higgins Construction to put in an egress window and replace an additional window in our basement. Mike was great to work with, as was his crew. The work they performed was clean and timely and we are extremely satisfied with how both windows turned out. We will definitely be returning to Higgins Construction for future projects!"

"I was a general contractor for 20 plus years locally. I have been out of it now for 21 years. Being my own home, and being known for a stickler for perfection, hiring a new drywall company was not easy. I had met Dave at the church we attend, and thought I would give him a try. I was totally amazed at the efficiency and quality of his work! I am not easily impressed when it comes to construction details, but he totally exceeded my expectations! I will certainly be using Malkerson Drywall on any future projects!"

"The handyman they sent to do the work was quite experienced. They built a basement wall and replaced a drop ceiling. Both were done well."

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.
