"From the initial estimate and quote to the actual execution of the work, Pedro and his team did a fantastic job. They were diligent, consistently on time, accommodating of our requests, and completed the basement finishing—approximately 700 sq ft—in just three weeks. We couldn’t believe the pace of their work. The quality was excellent. Keep up the great work, Pedro!"

"Excellent. Gary came promptly to give an estimate and returned in less than a week to do the job. He arrived 15 min early, worked efficiently and had the ceiling looking like new before noon. Gary does all the work himself."

"I needed a barrier to protect my exterior wall (wood) from the ground. Doug's crew removed old debris and built a concrete barrier/curb at the base of the wood wall. Doug's crew did a first rate job with the work and the cleanup."

"Excellent ‐ I currently live in a house that TrokStar Construction completely gutted and rebuilt. Neighbors often will stop by saying they can't believe it's the same house. The interior came out stunning ‐ I especially enjoy the modern kitchen and bathroom. The highlight though is probably the handed crafted fireplace mantle and frame. I would highly recommend TrokStar for any construction project, big or small."

"This review is a little late, as Chris was here in July. The job went great as always. And the results met my expectations as I knew they would. I have used Chris for the last five years for various jobs and I am never disappointed. I already have a list prepared for the upcoming year. Chris converted a tiny, useless, cupboard into a linen closet, added shelves in my daughter's bedroom, installed a railing, refinished the wall at the top of our stairs, installed an outlet, and installed a laundry tub in our basement. He even connected it into a drain. I thought that we would have to use a bucket it under it and empty it each time, so that was an added bonus. Looking forward to having him back in the new year to lay some subfloor, paint, and install some doors plus a few electrical outlets. Chris, My honey do list is growing."

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.
