This project was a porch ceiling remodel for one of the oldest homes in Mercer County. This large porch was being remodeled and I was asked to finish the ceiling. We needed to make sure it looked like it belonged, and was true to the history of the building. I think it turned out great! 

This wood framed drop ceiling was installed over an original plaster and lath ceiling. Because of unique restraints there was not enough time to remove the old ceiling and install a new one.  The fact that our customer ran a business from home meant that the typical mess of a tear out remodel wasn't only impractical, but a true liability.  Here are some other reasons for drop ceilings.
   • Absorb and reduce sound
   • Cover up piping, duct work and wiring
   • Give the room a finished look
   • Create an extra layer of insulation to improve the efficiency of your home/business
