"Our bedroom ceiling caved in recently. Needless to say, it was quite a mess with insulation debris and drywall pieces everywhere. Taulant responded quickly through Angie’s List after I requested a quote and called me right away. He was courteous, came by the next day to inspect, and gave us a very competitive quote. We hired him, and he and his brother did a great job. They showed up on time, were discreet and professional, and finished the ceiling repair, drywall, and painting in two and a half days. Communication was smooth, and we were very happy with the results. Minimal paperwork made the process easy. The ceiling looks great, and they handled all the debris and cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend Taulant for any drywall job and greatly appreciate the awesome work he and his brother did for us."

"Pete did a great job with installing a drywall ceiling in my basement. He did a great job cutting around all ten light fixtures as well as some challenging vents and piping. He left the work area clean and tidy after each days work and did a great final clean up as well. Was on-time and worked hard all day each day of work."

"The ladies arrived on time...
I showed the around the house and gave instructions as to what I wanted done.
They went to work immediately!
Basically, Bathrooms (2) Sanitized
Rooms Dusted and Vacuumed
Kitchen - Wipe down of counters and appliances
I was extremely surprised that they even washed the dishes, which I was not expecting!
They also cleaned each ceiling fan... which I didn't even think about.
All my hard floors were swept and mopped.
They also vacuumed the stairs leading up to the bedrooms and the stairs leading to the basement wreck room!
They worked hard and fast!

"This was my second large project with Jack and his team. They do amazing work. See photo of the ceiling and built-ins they installed as part of a renovation of this 1927 home."

"They arrived exactly when we planned & because it was my first time using them, the owner (Elliot) came in, walked through the house, and ensured they knew exactly what needed to be done. Their work was incredibly thorough including getting out a ladder to clean ceiling fan blades. I'm also pretty sure they mopped every floor surface twice, as well as got to every surface no matter how high (like armories and 42" kitchen cabs). This may sound silly, but I also noticed they emptied and refilled the water/soap bucket often, so dirty water was always discarded. The cleaning women were efficient and seemed to get into every corner. My house feels about as sparkling as I think it ever could be. The owners of the company are a mother and son team and they clearly take pride in their professional approach with clients, as well as the training they give their employees and the job that is ultimately done. I think I'm tough to please, and I would highly recommend this business."

"YB drywalled our ceiling after we took out a drop ceiling, revealing damaged plaster. They did a fabulous job. They took good care of the old original crown moulding as they removed it temporarily. 100 year old wood and nothing was damaged! Would highly recommend them!"

"Accurate Drywall & Finishing did a great job with the walls and ceiling of my 12' x 32' living/dining room. It needed two FULL skim coats after the coat I had put on myself (I had been repairing bubbled paint, etc.). They left it smooth and ready for painting. They were very timely, getting it all done within a week (this was a 3-visit job due to drying time, etc.). They were responsive to my rather demanding standards. I recommend their services!"

"Company was pleasant, on time and explained everything as it applied to the stair work required to be done. The stairway to the 2nd floor was sagging at the time. Redstone explained and provided a written estimate for all the work to be done to replace it. While Redstone was not selected for the job, I would have no hesitation to call them for any other owrk to be done in my home.

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.
