"The Dowell family arrived promptly and began extensive repair of plaster walls and ceilings. They were professional, flexible and did extra work without increasing the original bid. They were clean and finished earlier than expected. They repaired problem areas where drywall and plaster joined. They repaired large holes in garage. The quality of the work is exceptional and the price was the fairest, least inflated that we received. We had to wait 3 weeks for start day but it was well worth it. They noticed so much plaster damage that we did not see and restored the integrity of the walls of our childhood home in preparation for selling. Thank you for the beautiful work."

"Great! Kimberlin Construction Company is the best. This is the most recent project we had done by them. As always they did a great job. Showed up when they said they would. Great crew and excellent craftsmanship. This is the fourth project we had done by them and we will definitely hire them again in the future. Best contractor we have ever worked with."

"Words cannot express how happy I am that I found Matt to help me paint my new home! Not only did he finish the job of painting three rooms ceilings, trim, and walls in less than two days, he quoted me an extremely fair price and he did an amazing job. Matt took pride in his work, wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and that I was one hundred percent satisfied with the job. I have now found my handy man for life! If you need any work done in your home (because he does a lot more than paint) I highly recommend him. Thank you so much Matt for everything!"

"The home we purchased just over 2 months ago had an unfinished basement that we saw great potential in.  The master bathroom also had a leak behind the wall.  Bruce came in and talked to us in great length about what exactly we were looking for.  We talked about what parts of the project we could do ourselves to save money and what we thought a professional should do, and he worked with our timeline of when we were able to get things done.  The leak was repaired in the bathroom, as well as we had a new vanity and toilet installed and painting done.  The basement was the big job!  We had lighting installed, framing and drywall done, new windows installed, new carpet, and a new hot water heater along the way (that one was a surprise).  Bruce even helped us install new appliances when they arrived for our kitchen.  No matter what came up Bruce and his crew were there to help!  The project is finished and we are enjoying that wonderful space we saw potential in.  It also makes us feel proud that we were able to put hard work into some of it ourselves.  We will definitely call Bruce in the future for any projects, great or small!

FAQs for acoustic ceiling tiles install projects in University City, MO

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.
