"We interviewed many painters to renovate an old house. Bici Brothers was very thorough with their bid; we had not even received bids from some contractors we spoke to after their visit. Not only was his bid reasonable, Eddie was able to remove wallpaper in two rooms, repair some damage to walls in each, paint several rooms in entirely, other rooms we painted an alcove or two of the four walls. He completed the project just as he had promised on time."

"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.

"I hired them to install three exterior lights, by my front and back doors & garage. I had the fixtures, just needed someone to install. Good work at a reasonable price. I subsequently hired them to fix some wood rot by my garage door. Ivan cams in, cut out and replaced the bad pieces, caulked and repainted. Excellent job!"

"The duo was very efficient in what they cleaned. At the time, everything seemed fine for the price, but over the next day or so we noticed that there was dust on the ceiling fans/lights, around the fridge, beneath the stove, and there was lint behind the dryer, debris in the corners in the pantry and some drawers. We were expecting these things to be cleaned for a move-in cleaning service, but maybe it depends on the company."

"Taulant did a great job with my small drywall project. He arrived last Saturday morning and finished the job later that afternoon. I will do my own painting and I'm confident it will look seamless once painted. I strongly recommend him"

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.

"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!"

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.
