"Joe Soucek installed our basement drop ceiling and LED lighting. We had good communication leading up to the installation start date via phone, email, and text message. Joe had ceiling tile samples sent to our home for selection and his estimate was competitive and fair. Joe arrived for installation as scheduled and immediately got to work. He helped to identify a lighting wiring issue we had and helped to remedy it. Joe worked quickly and quietly and left the area clean. In addition to being great at his craft, Joe is also very friendly. I felt comfortable having him in my home. The finished ceiling looks terrific, I would hire Joe again!"

"Kris and his crew were excellent! They repaired a ceiling that had been repaired prior and made it look so much better and not even noticeable. While they were on site I asked for a quote on another project and Kris gave me a great price and performed the service while on site! Would highly recommend this company!"

"I recently had Lance Homes complete a couple of upgrades in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He installed new cabinet hardware throughout my kitchen and also replaced my bathroom vanity—and everything turned out absolutely beautiful. From start to finish, he was professional, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. The cabinet hardware was installed perfectly and instantly gave my kitchen a fresh, updated look. The new bathroom vanity installation was just as impressive—clean, precise work with great attention to detail. What really stood out was his craftsmanship and care. He treated my home with respect, showed up on time, and made sure everything was done right. Highly recommend Lance Homes if you’re looking for quality work and a team you can trust!"

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.
