"I hired Ask Michael, LLC to replace the ceiling tile in our basement. Their work was timely, of high-quality, and came in on budget. I would recommend using Ask Michael, LLC and will likely use them for future projects."

"Justin came out very quickly. He answered all of our questions. He was very professional and polite and knew his stuff!!! It was a no brainer after we talked to him. I had no idea that the Good House Keeping seal of approval is given to only one company per industry sector in the entire nation. It makes us feel good that of all the companies in the one day bath category, they were chosen to have that seal. They were super professional! Super polite! Very prompt and we love the product!"

"This was first experience with home remodeling. I recently purchased my first home, and the bathroom needed quite a bit of work. I was referred J & L Brothers Remodeling from a friend at work. I was very happy with every aspect of this process. They were very helpful with working within my budget, working around my schedule at work, helping me choose finishes, and completing the job on time and within budget."

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.
