Turnkey: residential basement $4-6/sqft standard ($3,200-4,800 for 800 sqft); commercial office $5-8/sqft. Tile-only $5-10/tile standard, $10-18/tile acoustic. Pricing consistent across the GTA.

Yes — we install to the fire-rated and sound-separation assembly spec required by Brampton's secondary-suite permit (BWSU). The drop ceiling assembly must match the listed UL/ULC tested fire-rated configuration; we work from your permit architect's spec sheet.

Yes — Bramalea and Heart Lake are core service areas. Both have very high concentrations of 1980s-1990s homes with basement HVAC trunks where drop ceiling is the default finishing solution. We do dozens of jobs here each year.

Yes — Goreway, Airport Road, and Steeles East industrial-office tenant build-outs are steady commercial work. High-volume standard mineral fiber installs at $4-6/sqft volume pricing for 3,000+ sqft.

Standalone drop ceiling rarely requires a permit. Secondary-suite basements absolutely require the BWSU permit which covers ceiling assembly within its fire-rated and sound-separation scope. Commercial fire-rated work follows the architect's UL/ULC spec.

Tile-only swaps next-week. Full new installs typically one to two weeks. Secondary-suite installs may take longer if waiting on Brampton building department permit issuance (typical 2-6 weeks).

Yes — newer construction with TJI / open-web floor joists, taller basements. Hanger-wire attachment to joist-manufacturer approved points only — we follow the spec.

We scrape the existing texture, apply joint compound to smooth any imperfections, sand to a Level 5 finish, and prime. The result is a clean, modern smooth ceiling. For homes built after 1990, asbestos is generally not a concern, making the process straightforward. Most rooms take 1–2 days.

Yes — we cut clean openings through the stipple texture and install recessed LED pot lights. For a polished look, many homeowners combine pot light installation with ceiling smoothing for the entire room. LED pot lights are energy-efficient and provide excellent, even illumination.

A smooth ceiling is one of the most cost-effective updates for suburban homes — it modernizes the entire look of a room for $3–$5 per square foot. It also makes rooms feel brighter and larger, and is more appealing to future buyers who overwhelmingly prefer smooth ceilings over textured ones.
