"Samuel is extremely competent, timely, responsive, and transparent. Unfortunately, we had a roof installed a few years ago by a company who cut corners, and STMZ came to repair two separate leaks in the “new” roof. He documented every step of the process with photos, and explained what he was doing. (Most contractors, in my experience, do not take the time to explain the process to you!) I highly recommend his services, and if we ever need to replace the roof, STMZ will be the company we will call."

"The new upstairs porch/balcony looks great, but now water pools upstairs and leaks down to the 1st floor porch. They were great about coming back out to fix the leak (which hurt the aesthetic of the porch). They did fix the leak and were really diligent and determined to fix it."

"The house is usually rented to Tulane's and Layola's students. Every year I have the house professionally cleaned before the new tenants move in. Last year I had a disastrous experience with the cleaning crew that was recommended by a contractor. They charged me $400 and it was hard to see where they cleaned!!
This year I called Sweeping Hands based on Angie's reviews and was not disappointed. I called them about 3 weeks before the job needed to be done and they promptly got back to me and agreed to do the work on they day I requested. The price they quoted me was very fair even though I thought that given the conditions of the house it might cost me more that they estimated. They showed up on time and 3 cleaning ladies started their job with much attention to details. The house was very dirty (students!); they tackled the kitchen and cleaned all the cabinets inside and out, the stove and the oven, the inside of the refrigerator, the dryer and washing machine, the sink and the dishwasher! They cleaned all the windows, blinds, moulding, ceiling fans , baseboards and floors in all the rooms. They cleaned and disinfected the bathrooms. Now the house must be the cleanest student rental in New Orleans!! What I appreciated more was that they charged me according to the estimate they had given me when I booked the service, even though since the house was so dirty, it required much more time than originally estimated!
I can't thank them enough for the good job they have done! I was very pleased and I highly recommend them!

"John is a super nice guy, and he explains everything that he plans on doing before actually doing the job. John close in the drywalls and put in borders surrounding the sliding glass door I had installed. He also finishes the job by painting the wall to match and he redid the ceiling. The job came out superb. I will download pictures later. Thanks again, John!"

"Very pleased. My out-of-whack doors work smoothly, the water-damaged wall and ceiling look great, and so does the fiberglass deck for our balcony. While each piece of the job came out great, the painting is particularly praiseworthy. Bill did a beautiful job."

"I'm a professional painter and noticed the excellent finish King Cole Construction LLC did for their costumers. I learned the owner is a graduate of the Rinker school of building construction and management at the University of Florida, pretty impressive! I finally met him on the job, and he is super guy to speak with, and really knows his profession!"

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.
