"I found Above and Beyond Construction to be very responsive and professional.  Their work was also done very well. They started and finished their work when scheduled and did a great job.  I didn't realize how bad our old front porch was until Above and beyond rebuilt us a new one and it looks beautiful.  We get a lot of compliments on our new front porch and we enjoy relaxing on it almost every day.

"Our bedroom ceiling caved in recently. Needless to say, it was quite a mess with insulation debris and drywall pieces everywhere. Taulant responded quickly through Angie’s List after I requested a quote and called me right away. He was courteous, came by the next day to inspect, and gave us a very competitive quote. We hired him, and he and his brother did a great job. They showed up on time, were discreet and professional, and finished the ceiling repair, drywall, and painting in two and a half days. Communication was smooth, and we were very happy with the results. Minimal paperwork made the process easy. The ceiling looks great, and they handled all the debris and cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend Taulant for any drywall job and greatly appreciate the awesome work he and his brother did for us."

"The ladies arrived on time...
I showed the around the house and gave instructions as to what I wanted done.
They went to work immediately! 
Basically, Bathrooms (2) Sanitized
Rooms Dusted and Vacuumed
Kitchen - Wipe down of counters and appliances
I was extremely surprised that they even washed the dishes, which I was not expecting! 
They also cleaned each ceiling fan... which I didn't even think about.
All my hard floors were swept and mopped.
They also vacuumed the stairs leading up to the bedrooms and the stairs leading to the basement wreck room!

They worked hard and fast!

"This was my second large project with Jack and his team. They do amazing work. See photo of the ceiling and built-ins they installed as part of a renovation of this 1927 home."

"Wonderful experience with the brothers. I had my dining room, family room, main hallway upstairs and first floor, plus bathroom. They were both quick and efficient. They were strong communicators and provided a quick response for every question. I would definitely hire again for my next painting job and would recommend to those up in lake county."

"They arrived exactly when we planned & because it was my first time using them, the owner (Elliot) came in, walked through the house, and ensured they knew exactly what needed to be done. Their work was incredibly thorough including getting out a ladder to clean ceiling fan blades. I'm also pretty sure they mopped every floor surface twice, as well as got to every surface no matter how high (like armories and 42" kitchen cabs). This may sound silly, but I also noticed they emptied and refilled the water/soap bucket often, so dirty water was always discarded. The cleaning women were efficient and seemed to get into every corner. My house feels about as sparkling as I think it ever could be. The owners of the company are a mother and son team and they clearly take pride in their professional approach with clients, as well as the training they give their employees and the job that is ultimately done. I think I'm tough to please, and I would highly recommend this business."

"After searching for months for someone to convert our loft into a nursery with no luck, we came across The Handy Veteran, and could not be happier with the finished product! Kevin and Tito were very professional to work with. We felt comfortable allowing them into our home and were very impressed by their work ethic. We would 100% recommend this company to anyone looking to have home renovations done, and hope to work with them again in the future on any projects that may arise. Thanks again!"

"Mario was GREAT to work with. He was personable and honest and the quality of work excellent. His crew painted the exterior of an over 125 year old wooden house that was in bad shape and it looks wonderful. His crew also painted the interior ceilings of my house that had water damage in two different areas. His crew were quiet clean and respectful taking great care and making sure everything was completely to my satisfaction. Will only be using Mars Painting in the future."

FAQs for acoustic ceiling tiles install projects in Waukegan, IL

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.
