"Everything went great. Antonio and his workers were respectful of my home and family. They took care not to damage anything when removing the old shingles and made sure everyone was safe when entering or leaving the house. I even saw them using magnets to make sure they picked up any nais that were on the ground. Installation of the new roof was quick. Antonio also took the time to answer my questions about the flashing and my existing gutters. I couldn't be happier with how it all went. Great price and great service."

"During the crazy winter, we had a water pipe burst in our old house, circa 1850. Once the pipes were repaired and water-damaged walls and ceilings were removed, John took care of all the plastering repairs. He was so prompt with his replies, easy to schedule, showed up when he said he would, and did such excellent work. Not only that, he was a pleasure to have around -- so friendly and kind!"

"I hired Silmac construction to remodel my basement. They put in a three-quarter bath, kitchenette, and finished the rest of the basement. This included cutting foundation for full size windows, putting in a new zone for heating and cooling system, and all the plumbing and electrical work needed. They were very professional and did an excellent job. I have gotten many compliments on our basement and I will hire them again to do work on my house."

"The work went really well. Once Pedro’s team got started they worked really quickly on the project, and were even able to accommodate additional work that we added on as we went (once the popcorn ceilings were removed we decided to have the ceilings and walls painted, and a new light fixture added to the dining room). Everything was finished quickly and looks great!"

"The crew that worked on my house was professional and hard working. They arrived punctually in the morning and worked straight through the day with minimal breaks. They were very careful to cover the entire floor and all of the furniture and left each day having cleaned up the debris from the plastering, sanding and painting. The rooms look great including some pretty beat up radiators, window sills, and doors that now look fine. A few days after completion , after a very humid day, there were some cracks in the ceiling paint. I called and Lindo was immediately available to evaluate the problem. He said right away that he would, of course, fix the ceiling at no cost once he had determined the best strategy. This was not in any way negligence on his part but rather one of the dilemmas that can arise with old houses. I have used different painters in the past. Supreme Painters are not the least expensive but the quality and the thoroughness of the work are worth the price."

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.
