"Amazing job by Mudslingers. We had some plaster ceiling in our 105 year old house begin to crack and partially collapse. Contacted Mudslingers and they demo'ed the remaining plaster and replaced it with sheetrock. The work also included removing two ceiling fixtures (one ceiling fan and a chandelier) and they replaced them after ceiling work was complete. The entire quoting, scheduling, and onsite services were amazing. Obtained a quote from them that was less expensive than the other two contractors we contacted. Scheduling communication was very clear and well laid out between various stages of the project (demo/sheetrock/mud/sanding), and the project finished up way ahead of schedule. During the project we received multiple phone and text message updates from the team, and all of our questions during the project were responded to within minutes (even on a Sunday evening). As someone who purchased a 105 year old house a few years ago, we've hired nearly a dozen contractors for various updates around the house. But Mudslingers is easily the best experience we've had. Definitely an A+ experience"

"I was a general contractor for 20 plus years locally. I have been out of it now for 21 years. Being my own home, and being known for a stickler for perfection, hiring a new drywall company was not easy. I had met Dave at the church we attend, and thought I would give him a try. I was totally amazed at the efficiency and quality of his work! I am not easily impressed when it comes to construction details, but he totally exceeded my expectations! I will certainly be using Malkerson Drywall on any future projects!"

Look no further, hire these guys!"

"Two women came and brought all their own cleaning equipment. They were friendly and professional. They gave my house a deep cleaning, and some places that I thought were permanently grungy are now fresh and clean. I look forward to having them come again."

"I received a quote for the services by email which closely matched a previous handyman's physical inspection quote. Unfortunately he had to cancel due to an accident. By email and voice mail this company stated it would take two guys. There was nothing said about an additional cost. Two guys arrived. One had a ladder but it wasn't tall enough for our garage ceiling. My husband provided them with one of his. Unprepared. After two hours they still didn't have the hole in the ceiling cut properly. It took them five hours to complete the tasks for double the price. These guys didn't know what they were doing. It turns out they'd never done it before. We got a break on the cost but the communication was terrible. There should have been a physical inspection and the double cost should have been communicated clearly. I wouldn't have hired them had I known the cost was double. Quoted two hour base price then $65 for each additional hour, estimated $315 -$380, but charged $800. Yikes!"
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.
