"John repaired some water damaged ceilings in my house a month ago. The job was fairly extensive and needed the plaster to match the swirl pattern in the rest of the house. He did a very good job for me and kept the place clean by sealing off the area with plastic sheeting and covering the entire hardwood floor with heavy paper. The job took two people two days and cost $1,500.
Since John worked out so well, I brought him back for another smaller plastering job after a plumber had finished repairing some pipes for me. He repaired some areas that had severe water damage and needed the old plaster cut out and replaced. The job took two people 3/4 of a day and cost $550. He knew exactly what to do, did good work, and cleaned up after himself. I am an engineer who has contracted many private contractors to rebuild an renovate several homes that I have lived in over the years and can say with no reservations that John is top quality at a good price.

"Pedro Quissanga was wonderful throughout the process. The project started out as a porch window replacement with an architect drawing plans, but once we started construction, we discovered that the whole underneath part was rotting and needed reconstruction. Pedro and his crew were hard working, reliable and careful, and his price for all of the work was very reasonable. When something went awry late in the construction, Pedro took it seriously and got people over within hours to locate the issue and fix the problem. Even though the project ended up being much more difficult than initially expected, there were never any unexpected charges and the additional work was at a consistent high level. We recommend Crystal Renovations without reservation and have several neighbors using them now for small-to-medium sized projects."

"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."

"We needed a skylight installed in our bathroom, and MMP did an excellent job--we are very happy with it! The team was friendly and worked quickly and efficiently to get it done before it got dark, and the quality of their work was excellent. Matt was very friendly and nice to communicate with as well, and always responded right away. I highly recommend MMP Construction to anyone looking for great quality work and excellent customer service."

"Excellent. I’m a contractor and I hired Eamon for a job I was working on. He did a great job and was very fair on the price. He’s a very hard worker and got the job done quickly for me. Good plasterers are hard to find. Eamon’s a great one."



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.
