"My experience with TPR was pretty much perfect! They bid the project and came in right on budget. They remodeled my bathroom and redid the flooring in my house. Everything came out beautifully and the bathroom design looks great thanks to the creative eye of my project manager. We completely gutted it and moved things around. It really does look great! I love everything about it. I highly recommend TPR to all of you. They are honest, reliable, caring of your possessions, and have great work ethic. The crew was on time every day and respected our house and our family. Thanks guys!:::)"

"Since we moved from the city to the country, Aaron has become our go-to person to help us bring our retirement home to the comfort and aesthetics we desire. Aaron balances professionalism and hard work to completion with humor and a very diplomatic demeanor. To date he has completed 3 major jobs for us. First, he replaced old paneling, floor and window molding and ceiling plywood in our sun room/study and painted it white. Our sun room is now our major room of the house where we love to spend time on the computer and projects. Second, he remodeled a sorely needed bathroom space. He listened to me and my husband tell him what we wanted and he delivered. We love our bathroom now!!! He demolitioned the wall and floor linoleum, and refinished it to a beautiful shiplap and plank floor tile. He painted the walls white and rerouted our dryer exhaust. In addition, he contracted with others to handle to the electrics and plumbing and installed new fixtures, electrical, plumbing and bath. He installed a new vanity and contracted another to install the granite counter top. We are delighted with the results and enjoy using our bathroom now. Aaron's last job was to repair and paint the exterior of our cedar and brick home. This required power washing the old to prep for the new. He replaced many cedar boards that needed replacing, replaced the porch posts, some lattice, painted the ceiling of the outdoor porch and re-roofed the gazebo addition. His finished work continues to update our home to our tastes. During each project, his team members always cleaned and cleared away debris at the end of the day. We never lived in a mess. Aaron and his team are very professional, thorough, friendly and competent. Aaron is our first choice to help us maintain and update our 50 year old home. Thank you, thank you to Aaron and his whole team."

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.
