"They showed up on time and the work was great! Great price too. We needed our basement done before a party we had at our home. And they got us in and got it done so quick and looked amazing. I will be using them again for my office and would definitely recommend them to my family and friends."

"DFS Construction was great! Very professional, fair pricing and excellent, quality craftsmanship. We are a company that does a lot of work for well known Fortune 500 Companies, so we will definitely hire them back again. Many Thanks. We had to have Dennis from DFS Construction come out prior to our mobile showroom going on the road for a last minute addition to the project after we did a road test, he came right away to help us out, he did the work for us quickly before we had to pack up and leave. I am happy to say that the drop ceiling that he installed in our mobile showroom for a Fortune 500 company traveled all the way to Chicago without incident. We will definitely be working with DFS Construction again. Many Thanks."

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.
