"We are very pleased with how our bathroom turned out. We enlarged the master bath into an adjacent bedroom. Now we have a cabinet with drawers, the same size shower as before, and a partially re-arranged floor plan. Gary scheduled the other contractors needed to complete the job: plumbing, electrical, tile, granite work, and paint. The job took longer and cost more than originally planned (these things generally do). We had the work done 2 years ago and are still very pleased with the work."

"This review is long overdue for a repair done this past fall. . Repaired a large hole in kitchen ceiling caused from plumbing issues. The ceiling looks perfect!!! Skim coated entire ceiling to blend in and painted. Attentive to detail. Should have called them years ago. They were very professional and charged a fair price for the work involved. I was amazed at their ability to prep the area for minimal cleanup. I would highly recommend them and I will use them again if needed. Kevin G"

"They showed up on time and the work was great! Great price too. We needed our basement done before a party we had at our home. And they got us in and got it done so quick and looked amazing. I will be using them again for my office and would definitely recommend them to my family and friends."

"DFS Construction was great! Very professional, fair pricing and excellent, quality craftsmanship. We are a company that does a lot of work for well known Fortune 500 Companies, so we will definitely hire them back again. Many Thanks. We had to have Dennis from DFS Construction come out prior to our mobile showroom going on the road for a last minute addition to the project after we did a road test, he came right away to help us out, he did the work for us quickly before we had to pack up and leave. I am happy to say that the drop ceiling that he installed in our mobile showroom for a Fortune 500 company traveled all the way to Chicago without incident. We will definitely be working with DFS Construction again. Many Thanks."

"We initially hired Bob to help us get our nursery in order. We needed someone to remove the old crown molding and baseboard in the room, paint the room and install new closet doors for us. Bob did a great job on the project. He was prompt when it came time to provide the quote and worked quickly to get us scheduled. The work he did in the room was excellent. He was able to provide suggestions about what closet doors would work best and what kind of trim would be required around them. He graciously agreed to help pick up materials, as we had no easy way to transport such long pieces of trim. We asked him to use a dark wall color for the room, and the care he used in painting with this color was appreciated. We needed to ask Bob to delay installing the baseboards until the floor could be refinished; he graciously came back a few weeks later to finish the job, without charging any additional fee.
Because Bob did such a great job for us, we also had him come back a few weeks after installing the baseboards to help us fix a drywall patch in our hallway ceiling. Initially Bob had told me he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get it to look seamless with the rest of the ceiling, but he was able to work his magic and you can't even tell that the patch is there. We were very impressed with the result he was able to provide us, and of course his painting job on the ceiling after patching it was excellent.
We'd highly recommend Bob and his services, and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again in the future. He was a pleasure to work with, and we felt comfortable leaving him in our home to complete the projects while we were at work. We appreciated his attention to detail and his efforts to clean up after himself when the job was completed. He brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to projects, that will serve his customers well!

"Ron was very professional and on time for appointment to come look at the repair. His office staff was quick to send the quote for repairs the same day! I very pleased with the fair price and even happier with the ability to come within a week to perform the job. Ron and his apprentice Evan arrived early on the job. Were thoughtful in providing drop cloths and taping off door ways to contain repair dust and debris. They were able to bring the coved ceiling back to its original beauty all in one day! I would highly recommend Ron and Evan for any plaster repairs! Thank you again for your professionalism, expertise in plaster repairs and extremely fair pricing!"

"I was in a bit of a rush to get crown molding put into a baby's room as I had just painted the walls for the upcoming delivery of the crib. I called him on Tues evening, he came by Wednesday to do an estimate (this was our 2nd estimate, first guy wanted to charge an arm and a leg) and Robert had the estimate emailed to us the next day. He amazingly started the job the day after that as another job had fallen through for him. He covered the stairs and the hallway so he wouldn't track dust/paint unto the carpet and moved all the furniture himself. Out of curiosity we asked for an estimate on the guest bedroom for crown molding as well and the price was good so we had the baby room and the guest bedroom done. He said the materials came in under the estimated cost and was not charged the full amount of the estimate. He was prompt and showed up when he said he was going to, appeared hard-working and honest. This was a hassle-free experience and I would definitely use him again.

"Kevin and Daniel are such good workers and better human beings. They put much attention to details. Both have great attitude. I love the work they did at our basement. Drywall ceiling, walls and painting."

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.
