"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."

"The Project included a small open porch with a gabled shingle roof which led through french doors into the 8 windowed sunroom with a ceramic tile floor, 2 ceiling fans, 6 recessed lights, and 2 suntunnels. Bay windows & a french door were taken out to provide a large open entry into the diningroom and kitchen creating an open concept look. The finished room blends so perfectly with the architecture of the house both inside and out that it looks like it was always there. The project took six weeks as promised and is above and beyond our expectations! The “Ragan team” not only is dedicated to quality materials and workmanship, but also maintaining a positive and unruffled attirude when encountering “bumps along the road” which inevitably happen in a project this size. Paul Ragan's vast experience and ingenuity were obvious throughout the project. We higly recommend Ragan Construction Company!"

"Dario and his crew were nothing short of responsive, kind, professional, expert craftsmen in what they do, and did it all for a fair competitive price compared to the near 10 other quotes we got in the greater Asheville area for our painting and drywall repair project. We needed ceiling drywall repair, popcorn texture removal, and priming and painting done to all ceilings in our 1300 square ft home and Dario’s team got on it quickly for us. The ceilings look immaculate and Dario and his crew will be the only folks we use from here on out for any drywall and painting needs! Not only did they do the job we hired them for so well they touched up our walls too! Yes they’re that good - hire them!"

"I hired these guys to install venting and drywall the ceiling in my shed. They were very responsive, worked quickly, and did a great job. When contacting companies for a quote, Edgar was the only one who picked up the phone right away, and he wound up stopping by to discuss the job that evening. I received a quote a few days later which seemed reasonable considering the amount of work that needed to be done. They don't take credit card payment — only cash or check — but they did give me a list of materials and allowed me to purchase them. Edgar was also very responsive as I texted him with questions about materials. By the end of day one they had the vents and drywall installed. On day two they did two coats of mud and tape. On day three, final coat of mud and the hatch. The shed is 24' x 20.5', with 10' ceilings, so it was not a small job. I was really impressed with the speed and quality of the work. After the job was finished, they walked me through it, gave me a few suggestions for finishing the shed, and told me they would come fix any imperfections I found once I got to priming. I had a great experience overall and it's very likely that I will contact them for future work."

"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!"

"We loved that they sent a reminder, and that they were on time. Edgar and his crew were very polite,professional, and respectful of us and our home. After the job was done (each day) the put everything back where it was in the beginning. The ceiling looks as good as, or better than it did before the damage. I would highly recommend Paint Asheville."

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.
