"My church hired pristine ceilings to install a new acoustical, drop ceiling in a 4,400sf multi purpose church hall. New ceiling had to be attached to an existing 2 x 2 coffered concrete ceiling structure. Scott provided many options in terms of pricing, quality and acoustic properties. He made it easy for our property team to decide on the best option that would work within our budget. Scott always returned our calls promptly. We were especially pleased with the high level of craftsmanship that Scott and his team employed. They were able to wrap trim and tile neatly around our round columns. I would highly recommend Scott Mason of Pristine Acoustical Ceilings for any business or residential project. Their work is absolutely top notch!!!"

"Mark came to our home to put a drop ceiling in, and he was finished in just a few hours. He was extremely professional and very helpful in starting to plan future projects with us. We are trying to get a lot of projects done in our home at once, and this company is the ONLY one who hasn't given us any grief. I would highly recommend using Deschenes Acoustics for all your drop ceiling needs. I wish he did floors and plumbing, too! lol."

"I was buying a new house, the home inspector had some questions about the attic joists and suggested I have a professional take a look at them. I needed it done quickly and I called three contractors. Matt from MMP was the only one that called me back the same day and agreed to come look at them the next day. He showed up on time, suggested a remedy and gave me an estimate. After buying the house I had him complete the work. It was done as promised in a very tight and dirty attic space, they cleaned up before leaving. I also chose Matt to replace my roof after getting three estimates. The crew did the complete job, chimney flashing, ice and water shield, small roof repair and venting channels in the attic. Clean up was great, no mess left in the yard. He was not the lowest estimate but all the work was done without any additional charges. I was very pleased with the results."

"This was our second time hiring Norman Builders and the experience was just as amazing as the first! Ryan and his team remodeled our kitchen in 2018 and we knew right away that we wanted them back to do our master bathroom. The communication was seamless and the quality of work done by Brian, Kevin, Lance and all of the plumbers and electricians was top notch! Everyone was amazing especially when dealing with all of my questions and design ideas, including rearranging the layout and plumbing to accommodate my request for a large picture window with a soaker tub in front of it and having multiple shower heads that all function independently as well as together! The heated floors are also a favorite as well as our closet that Brian designed! We are so thrilled with the the final results and our bathroom is now a sanctuary that I never want to leave! Thank you Norman Builders!!"

"The work done on two ceilings was excellent and of high quality. They were extremely knowledgeable about their business as well as being very professional. They made sure that they completed the work in a timely and efficient way. They did everything they could to make this work assignment produce the best possible result and I am extremely pleased with everything they completed. I would most certainly hire them again for any additional work needed in my home."

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.
