"Geraldo and his crew were very professional and help me out with damage from mold from air conditioner drain overflow. Painting/ trim/drywall/pocket door install and more. They reconstructed our Easy Closet, did electric for and hung 2 lighted mirrors, and hung our big screen TV on the wall. Their work was very precise and neat. I would highly recommend them. I plan to do some more remodeling in the future and plan to use them."

"I can’t say enough good things about Santangelo Construction! After my previous contractor moved away, I was nervous about finding someone who could meet my expectations. A neighbor recommended Josh after having work done, and I’m so glad they did. From our first conversation, Josh was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I had a kitchen remodel that needed to be completed on a very tight timeline before new renters were scheduled to move in. Josh understood the urgency, communicated clearly throughout the process, and delivered exactly as promised. The quality of the work was excellent, the project stayed on schedule, and the entire experience was stress-free. It’s rare to find a contractor who combines professionalism, reliability, and quality craftsmanship the way Josh did. I highly recommend Santangelo Construction to anyone looking for a contractor they can trust. I will definitely be using them again for in the near future for my family other vacation property."

"Came to provide estimate same day as request and began the project two days later. Worked within a very limited time frame as I needed the work done that week. Wonderful work despite the pace which i am sure was hectic. The finished project was not compromised at all! In fact, the overall end design was outstanding!"
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.
