"After many years of cleaning neglect due to health problems, our house was badly in need of cleaning, and we called Maria for help. We've never hired a cleaning service before. They cleaned our entire 4 BR 3 full bath house from top to bottom: walls, doors, windows, sills, baseboards, molding, wood/tile floors, rugs, dusting, stairways, bathrooms, kitchen, microwave, faucets, sinks, mirrors, bedrooms, family room, utility room, cobwebs on ceilings, ceiling vents, etc. They made our house look all sparkling new, like it did 19 years ago when we first moved in. I wasn't sure such a nice result was even possible! We are very pleased with their service. We intend to keep using their service on a regular basis, in maintenance mode, to prevent things from slipping back to the way they were. Now we can have company over again!"
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.
