He could not give me a quote prior to doing ceilings. costing me more than I planned.he did do a good job but I had already bought some of the paint. .he was always on time.He borrowed my paint roller and proceeded to take it with him.I let him know he took it but has not been returned/HEadvertises senior discount but I dont think i got one.to future customers get the quote ahead of time.HE should have gave me a price on ceilings before hand not surprise me in the end."

"Deans painting came to take care of a nearly full interior paint job. They painted walls, ceiling, trim, and closets. It was so nice to move in with a fresh clean paint job, and the work done was great. I would hire them again for future needs, or happily refer someone to them."

"Lee was here (on Saturday!) within 30 minutes of my call. Solved my problem and corrected another that would have been extra. When I asked how much I owed him, he said, "nothing". Living alone, I appreciate people that do a good job, spare me the gouging, and treat me with respect. This man could not have been more courteous. I also expect a fair price, but do not want to take advantage of anyone. I put money in his pocket and wished him a Merry Christmas. I wish there were more reliable, considerate people like Lee. I would recommend him highly to anyone. Alex C. Wiley, PhD"

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.
