Customers say: Super punctual
"I was not overly impressed with the Angelo because when I mentioned I had purchased 8 hours, he said he works like a two man crew so he did not think I needed the whole 8 hours. While the shelving was put up nicely and secure there were areas where he misjudged a screw hole and had to redrill but he never back to patch the hole he made initially. I had to hire another crew to come in and replaster to prep for a painting job because it was not done completely or sanded down for painting. Angelo did not complete the entire 8 hours because I decided not to bring him back for any additional work.

"We contacted Aurora Remodeling Group to provide an estimate to finish existing drywall in our garage and to paint the ceilings and walls. From the initial contact throughout completion of the project, the communication was excellent. I had several questions during the pre-sales phase, which were all answered quickly and professionally. Once we decided to hire them, they kept us informed of the process and set accurate expectations of what they would complete each day; they executed the plan flawlessly. They were very professional throughout the project and cleaned up after themselves each day before leaving. The workmanship is excellent; Raul, Jessica, and the crew were great to work with. Their pricing is competitive and we feel that we got excellent value. We would highly recommend Aurora Remodeling Group for this type of project."

"So far I have had them install a garbage disposal and a ceiling fan. Wanted to say they were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Has been a pleasure to work with them."
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.
