"We have used Brian twice to remove the textured ceilings in our living room and kitchen/dining room. Both jobs were started and completed as agreed at the agreed price. His crew even repaired a hole in my ceiling due to roof leak that I was unaware of. We are very pleased with his work, our ceilings look great. I will definitely use them again!"

"We had them turn an old rotting deck into a beautiful sunroom. Excellent communication. Every time we called and texted Carlos answered or responded, which is a big deal when you hire a contractor. The sunroom they built for us turned out great, however, it took longer than anticipated. Several people came to of work at various times but the two main ones were very polite and likable and even when we made design changes in the middle of the project they were attentive and professional"

"Fantastic! They did an excellent job. Very friendly, courteous and kind. It’s so nice to have a clean house. I have RA and just can’t do it myself anymore."
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.
