"Very nice group of guys and very quick to respond and get the job done. My wife was upset with the attention to detail. Somebody washed off their tools directly on her ponytail palm and there were noticeable gaps on baseboard which were very minimal, but there. And a huge gap in light switch plate. My wife asked to fill that hole and it was caulked. We will build up wall behind light switch plate ourselves later this week. And baseboards are also an easy fix with just a little caulk. Guys were absolutely great and price was reasonable. With that being said Iâ d recommend them, but the little attention to detail was not all there."

"Chris and Kevin were great to work with! They kept me informed of the process. Kevin was honest with me about what was going on throughout the duration and was friendly with my cats. I would definitely rehire Guaranteed Home Improvements! The ratings on here do not sound like the gentlemen that I worked with! They did A plus work and I am super happy with my new shower and tub."

"to paint the ceilings was very expensive - about $200 per square foot. They also got paint on the screens that we had just replaced a week prior even though they put up protective plastic."
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.
