"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."

"It has been said that a contractor is only as good as the tradesmen that he hires. In the case of the renovation of our den, the tradesman that was used was Tommy Ealum, subcontractor for David Meyer Builder, Inc. Tommy Ealum and his crew did a fabulous job repairing the room and went over and above what was expected, with attention to detail. After roof damage by an EF0 tornado was repaired, a contractor was needed to repair the den, the room under that roof. David Meyer Builder, Inc. was selected from Angie's List . His proposal was submitted on May 3, 2018. Repairs were started four days later and finished on the date specified. The team was very professional and skilled in workmanship. The den now has a much better appearance with corrections on the walls, window areas, and ceiling. We would highly recommend David and his team to anyone who needs this type of contractor. The contracted price was more than we expected to pay for these repairs, but with the extra efforts of Tommy Ealum, we feel that we received a very fair deal."

"Shane’s Drywall Repair and Painting LLC was top-tier from start to finish. His communication was excellent and the professionalism showed immediately. I submitted a service request and he contacted me and came out to give a quote in less than 24 hours for a drywall repair caused by a plumbing leak in my garage ceiling. Not only that, he was able to complete the repair the very next day. He arrived on time and did a phenomenal job. Shane went above and beyond by cleaning up the mess left behind by the plumber and even washed my driveway, which I truly appreciated. The final result looks amazing. He perfectly matched the knockdown texture, which I know can be difficult to replicate. My ceiling now looks like nothing ever happened. I highly recommend Shane’s Drywall Repair and Painting LLC and will absolutely hire them again."

"Mark is a master carpenter who is extremely meticulous in his work. The quality, fit and finish was excellent. He also holds any subcontractors used to the same high standards."
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.
