"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 contracted with Dario to have popcorn ceilings removed from three rooms and repainted. It was a tough job and his crew finished in three days. There were a few flaws after the surfaces had dried and Dario sent a crew back who repaired everything. Very professional. The ceilings look fantastic."

"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."

"The 2-person crew arrived on-time, completed the work efficiently and cleaned up properly. The project expanded due to previous bad work that was hidden. I am pleased by the outcome."

"We had used previous vendors and they never seemed to get the job done. The work BRME did has made a significant difference in our water drainage issues on our campus. BRME completed the job exactly as we requested, within the time-frame requested, left no debris or materials behind and the work was high quality. We won't hesitate to call BRME for additional projects."

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.
