"Custom Painting of Asheville was a pleasure to work with! They were efficient and did a great job, even finishing within their estimated time frame, and the price was very competitive. They removed some old popcorn ceilings and painted the ceilings, plus they did some drywall repair - and everything was done beautifully. They were also fantastic at communication. I highly recommend them!"

"Jose and his crew at J & M Elite Contracting were extremely professional throughout the entire process and provided an affordable rate. We had them put up new drywall, level 5 ceiling, and new flooring in our basement and the results were great. I would highly recommend."

"I have used the Carolina Carpenter (Rick Cox and son) for many years; the most professional and trustworthy of any contractor I have ever hired. This time, the water damage was hardly visible, but behind the facade there was considerable damage all the way to the framing. The problem, caused by improper drainage, was identified by the contractor. He used the very best materials to fix it. Most important, he came back several times to make sure what he did was working as intended. The finished job looks beautiful and I know it will last for a long time. Rick Cox is the best!"

"The crew painted the interior of my whole apartment including walls, ceilings, doors, and trims. They did a great job in preparation and execution. The apartment now looks new. Their price, I think, is reasonable. It was a great experience working with them."

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.
