Need someone who can install a drop ceiling .

[Thor]

Finished the basement a few years ago but never put the ceiling up.

Anyone know of a good company in Calvert who can do this?

That's a DIY project - my 17 year old daughter can install a drop ceiling.

It's not a question of being able to do it. I built the entire basement myself I know I could put in the ceiling.

It's a question of wanting to do it.

I think you should hire Vrai's daughter.

do your ceiling in drywall with a couple small access panels at key locations for plumbing. Much nicer looking basement.

We have 12 foot ceilings in the basement, even with the drop ceiling it will still be about a ten foot ceiling, plus we are going with 2x2 tiles so it should look okay.

If you built the entire basement, not wanting to put up a no-brainer like a dropped ceiling is like an accomplished mechanic not pumping his own gas.

I agree with the sheetrock theory.
much nicer looking.

True, but.....
Quite often a basement has a lot of electrical, plumbing and HVAC stuff below the joist's. A dropped ceiling also makes future upstairs CATV, phone, stereo, etc. easier to install. IMO, the 2X2 panels look best and there are many designs to choose from.
