"Zach installed new venting for our dryer up through the ceiling into the Attic and through the roof. It was probably 95 outside and maybe over 100 degrees in the attic. He was very professional and did a excellent job. He kept me informed of what he was going to do and was very knowledgeable explaining my options. I would definitely recommend him and I would hire him again"

"3 people arrived today, the owner and 2 employees. They cleaned more thoroughly than I would have cleaned my own home. Also went above and beyond, changing light bulbs and fixing a curtain rod that was pulling away from the wall. I highly recommend this company and absolutely will be using again! Very professional and thorough!"

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.
