"Jose has been professional from explaining the process to the lined items on the estimate. They kept the area and entry ways they are working in clean and confined. The finished work was immaculate. We could not be any happier with the service. We highly recommend and will most definitely be using ECCE for other projects at our hotel. We appreciate the quality of work!"

"Ran into some unexpectedly problem and so it took a little longer than expected. But, the results were better than expected. I'm very happy with how my ceiling and lights turned out. I already hired them for a second job (grab handles in shower) and have been very pleased with that job too."

"Coming home after a long day to a house cleaned by Bambi is the best treat. She always shows up right on time, tackles our dog hair covered home and tricky hard to clean 100+ year old wood floor, and leaves everything sparkling. Communication for booking is great. We have had Bambi cleaning our house every two weeks for years and we love her!"

"My project was finishing out a former shower stall into a future storage space. This entailed mud and tape to the sheetrock to a “ready to paint” status and lay new engineered tile flooring over the subfloor. Prior to hiring Torin, he was shown the space and what was needed in order to provide an estimate. The estimate met my needs and budget. He was always a couple minutes early, was genuinely friendly and professional. Each day he started by insuring his work area protected non-workareas from spills or other damage. His work was top-notch, and since the work took several days he made sure he always left with his areas cleaner than before. If I could give him 6 stars, I would. We are already in discussion about finishing this new space into a shelved storage area for the bathroom."
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.
