An old drop ceiling replaced with a smooth, painted drywall ceiling, with the exhaust fan put back in place.
Drop ceilings were built for easy access, not good looks. A drywall ceiling gives your basement or suite a cleaner, brighter, more finished feel.
No grid, no stained or sagging tiles. Just a smooth, painted ceiling that makes the whole room feel finished.
A smooth white ceiling reflects light better than dark, textured tiles, which helps in basements and bathrooms.
Taking the old ceiling down lets Reid check the wiring, plumbing and framing above it before everything is closed up again.
The old tiles and grid come down and are hauled away.
Reid checks what's above the ceiling and sorts out any issues before closing it up.
New drywall goes up and is taped, mudded and sanded smooth.
The ceiling is primed and painted, and fixtures and vents go back on.
It depends on the size of the ceiling, how many fans, vents or fixtures are in it, and what is found above it. Send Reid a photo and the rough size of the room and he will quote you before any work starts.

Yes. Taking the old ceiling down gives Reid a chance to check the wiring, plumbing and framing above it, and deal with any leaks or damage before it is closed up.
Yes. Bathrooms and basements are some of the most common places for old drop ceilings, and Reid can use materials suited to moisture-prone rooms.
Vents and fan covers are put back in place after the ceiling is finished. Any electrical work, such as adding or moving lights, should be done by a licensed electrician.
Small rooms such as a bathroom are quick, but the drywall needs time to dry between coats of compound, so expect more than one visit.
Yes. Reid is fully insured, so your property and your peace of mind are protected during every visit.
