"This company did an amazing job!!! Pedro was great to work with. He showed up on time and did a great job. Considering the mess when you have a popcorn ceiling removed, re-textured and painted, while living in the home, they cleaned up extremely well, far surpassing my expectations. Would definitely hire them again!!"

"I hired Dominic Badia to finish my ceilings that I took the popcorn off of. Dominic came over the day he called after I entered my info in HA. He was on time, very professional, very knowledgeable and very fair with his pricing. He told me exactly what he needed to do to make my ceilings smooth and the prep work that needed to be done. I hired him!!! He showed up on time, started working right away. It took 2 days to get the ceilings in paintable condition and I couldn't be happier!!! I also had a few holes I asked him to repair, you can't tell the holes were ever there. Dominic also covered up an existing fireplace with drywall and several coats of mud so I could make use of wall for my large TV. After talking with Dominic, I found out that he is also an amazing carpenter, so I hired him to put siding up on my screened porch. He quite the perfectionist!!! My porch looks FANTASASTIC!! I will also be hiring him to repair some soffit and install it on the ceiling of my porch. I'm in the process getting the house ready to sell and hit the jackpot with Dominic!!!"

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.
