Tustin Suspended Drop-Ceiling Removal Guide

Suspended drop-ceiling removal is a big deal. Make no mistake about it, this will take a whole lot of time and effort. And, that’s just to uninstall the suspended ceiling, not to replace it with something else. However, it’s typically a good idea to get rid of it, since drop ceilings are totally out of style, which makes resale a whole lot easier.

Suspended Drop-Ceiling Disposal Guide

Your first order of business for this remodeling project (as well as any other remodeling or restoration job), is to plan for the debris and material disposal. This stuff will indeed pile up quickly and it’s not something you can simply put out on the curb. The local trash collection agency considers this different from regular household trash. So, you’ll have to make other arrangements for its proper disposal.

Dropped ceilings consist of suspended grids and many removable panels and getting rid of one is a straightforward process. Most dropped ceilings cover unsightly or damaged ceilings or they lower the ceiling height to reduce heating and cooling costs. The panels might also conceal plumbing or wiring. The best way to get rid of a dropped ceiling system is to take it off in the reverse order from which it was installed. --San Francisco Gate

If you’d like to save yourself the time and effort of hauling it away on your own, then just have a local junk removal company come on by and pick it up. Take advantage of the opportunity to unload a bunch of other junk at the same time. This way, you’ll be rid of that stuff and free up much-needed space, to boot.

Tustin Suspended Drop-Ceiling Removal Guide

Okay, so drop or suspended ceilings are usually installed with a hanging frame system. Which means it’s not directly attached to the ceiling at every square inch. But, it will still take some time and effort to get rid of it. Here’s a brief drop ceiling removal guide you can follow:

• Clear and cover the floor. Just because it’s not directly attached to the ceiling underneath doesn’t mean it won’t be messy or possibly cause damage to the floor. So, clear the room and cover up the floor.
• Turn off the circuit breaker providing power. Before you proceed, go to the main electrical panel and turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the lighting. Then, you can see how the lights and wires are connected.
• Remove all the suspended ceiling panels. Next, you’ll need a ladder or stool to reach up and take down the individual tiles. Exercise caution because you don’t know what’s up inside the space. Take down all the panels and place them out-of-the-way.
• Uninstall the lights and wiring. If you aren’t skilled enough to handle electrical work, bring in an experienced, licensed electrician to do the work for you. You’ll need to remove any lights and wiring to install a new ceiling finish. Once all the components are gone, you can then take apart the support grid.
