"Not only did Rick do an outstanding job removing the popcorn ceiling but made a couple of other dry wall repairs without me even asking. The final product was fantastic. The ceiling is amazingly smooth."

"We are very happy with the final project. It turned out as discussed. This was a very difficult project because of the many construction phases and that the new work had to blend in with the existing structure. It was important that when finished the old and the new had to look like it was all completed at the same time. Alex coordinated the project to ensure the work was all completed as discussed."

"Rusty and his crew did a wonderful job on my mothers edition onto my house. She has an absolutely beautiful one bedroom apartment with gorgeous 12 foot ceilings and an amazing set of French doors with a huge dome window over the top overlooking the back woods. Rusty was very easy to work with and always responded very quickly. He makes sure you are 100% happy with everything they do. The quality is amazing, and no corners were cut. If I could give more than five stars, I would.! Thank you so much for a job well done!"

"We are very happy with Right Hand Industries. The customer service with Mrs. Jennifer was excellent. She always kept in contact with me, she always returned my calls and she was very helpful with decision making in my home improvement project. Mr. Ben did an awesome job. Our new flooring looks so professionally done. Mr. Ben and his exceptional workmam are really Pro's in their skilled profession. They did excellent flooring work and excellent work with replacement of our old ceiling fans to our new ceiling fans. We were treated like family and the job was done with care. We are definitely going to call on them for our next project. Thank you for making our family apart of your family. I will recommend Right Hand Industries to my friends and family."

"There were three ladies in the cleaning crew. Two of them could not speak English. I don't really like that, however they did a very good job. They cleaned the entire house, baseboards, blinds, windows, kitchen cabinets, dusting, vacuuming, and mopping. They cleaned ceiling fans and lots of other stuff. They worked hard and did not dally around."

"Matt was great and took his time on a tedious drywall job. He was careful to feather things out and leave seamless transitions back to the wall around the new shower. Appreciated him not rushing and taking time to do things the correct way. Price was also very reasonable."

"We wanted an outdoor area that we could retreat to during all four seasons. Jason and his crew built a phenomenal gazebo, complete with windows, screens, beautiful floors, vaulted ceiling and ceiling fan. He also installed electrical outlets and ran a cable line so we could watch TV. The result was a phenomenal little building that makes us feel like we're up in a tree house. A job well done."

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.
