Suspended Ceilings
Need to cover pipes, wires, or ductwork? Suspended ceilings (also known as drop ceilings) are a smart solution for improving sound control and hiding overhead systems in residential and commercial spaces. With 20+ years of experience in the industry, our skilled suspended ceiling installers ensure every project is completed with precision.
What are Suspended Ceilings?
Suspended ceilings, also known as drop ceilings, are made using a metal grid that hangs below your existing ceiling. Lightweight ceiling tiles or ceiling panels fit into the grid, making it simple to cover wires, pipes, and ductwork. They’re a popular choice for commercial spaces because they improve sound, look clean, and are easy to install and repair.
We install, repair, and replace a variety of suspended ceilings. Compare common suspended ceiling types and their effectiveness in controlling sound.

Can suspended ceilings improve acoustics?
Yes. Using acoustic ceiling tiles within a suspended ceiling can reduce noise and echo, making them ideal for busy commercial spaces like offices, schools, and retail stores. These acoustical ceilings help improve sound quality by absorbing unwanted noise and creating a quieter, more comfortable environment.
Are suspended ceilings suitable for all building types?
Suspended ceilings are highly versatile and work well in many settings, including commercial applications like offices, healthcare facilities, restaurants, schools, and retail stores. They can also be installed in some residential areas where easy access to ceiling systems or sound control is needed.
How long does suspended ceiling installation take?
The timeline for drop ceiling installation depends on the size and complexity of the project. Most standard commercial suspended ceilings can be installed within a few days, while larger or more customized projects may take longer. Our professional suspended ceiling installers ensure the job is done efficiently and with quality.
Can I replace just the tiles without changing the grid?
Yes. If the existing suspended ceiling grid is in good condition, you can refresh your ceiling by replacing only the damaged or outdated ceiling tiles. This is a cost-effective way to update your space without a full ceiling replacement.
How do I choose the right ceiling tiles for my suspended ceiling?
Choosing the right ceiling panels depends on your needs, whether you want better acoustics, moisture resistance, fire rating, or decorative appeal. Our team can help you select from a variety of tiles and brands that fit your project’s style and performance requirements.
Can suspended ceilings be installed over uneven or damaged existing ceilings?
Yes. Suspended ceilings are often installed over uneven or damaged ceilings because the suspended ceiling grid creates a new, level surface. This makes them a great option for covering imperfections while improving the look and function of your space.
How do you clean and maintain a suspended ceiling?
Suspended ceilings require occasional maintenance to stay in good condition. Cleaning involves gently removing dust, stains, and surface buildup from tiles and grid components using safe, non-abrasive products. In commercial settings, especially kitchens or healthcare facilities, regular ceiling cleaning helps maintain a sanitary environment and extends the life of your tiles. If tiles are heavily stained or damaged, they can be replaced individually without removing the entire ceiling system.
