"It went very well. The job was done right done right, on time, at a fair price. We have had Czeslaw (Chester) do two projects for us (building a large multi-story home addition as well as doing a master bath gut rehab at another house) and we couldn't be much happier. He does quality work, at very reasonable prices, and most importantly, seems to care about doing a good job and having happy customers. He answers your calls, his guys show up for the job, and those workers do very high quality work (craftsmanship). No, he isn't perfect and doesn't walk on water, but if there are problems, he solves them quickly and to your satisfaction. He is smart, knowledgeable, and has lots of experience. Above and Beyond is capable of doing a very wide range of projects and I strongly recommend you hire them."

"We hired them for a detailed clean of our house before a graduation party. Walls, floors, bathrooms, kitchen and everything in-between. We did a walk through at the beginning to make sure we were all on the same page. So detailed! We will definitely hire them again!"

"They did a fantastic job! I came home thinking I wasn’t in the right house it was so clean. They organized, did my dishes, cleaned everything. I feel like it was a heavy weight lifted off my shoulders. Will definitely hire them again! Thank you so much!"

"We hired Level precision to replace a drop ceiling with drywall and puck lights in one of our rental properties. It looks absolutely flawless! It completely transformed the room. While they were working my husband and I tore down wallpaper in the largest room in the house. Needless to say it was a disaster, the drywall behind it was destroyed. Ruben and his team came through and skim coated the entire room. My jaw literally dropped when I saw it. On top of that they patched, taped, put in a new outlet for us. We are so grateful for this company! Their pricing was more than fair! I am so happy we found them. We will definitely be calling them back for future projects!"

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.
