"Had a really great experience with Ultimate Contractors Corporation on a new construction project. Everything went super smooth from start to finish, and the quality of the work came out even better than I expected. Jeff and the team are awesome to work with. They know what they're doing, stay on top of everything, and actually care about doing a good job. Communication was easy, they showed up when they said they would, and handled everything the right way. It's hard to find a solid, trustworthy crew, but these guys are the real deal. Definitely recommend them if you want the job done right."

"After having a sudden water leak and having the whole house fall apart, I found the UCC team and Jeff was very professional from the very beginning. He was very attentive to everything that needs to be done and most importantly he understood my urgency and started working right away. Words can't even explain how grateful I am for the amazing work Yico and Patricio did. I am so happy with the UCC team and their work."
Ismot Tuba
"I cannot recommend them enought. I am a busy person with a family and I had a severe unexpected plumbing issue with my bathroom. I am not a handyman by any means. I started calling companies and they either stopped replying or wanted my to charge me crazy amounts. I was frustrated. I friend recommended me to this place and I am very thankful. They helped me right away and explained me all I needed to know about the price I was been charge. Specifically that guy tommy. He is a man of a few words. However, was really nice and professional. REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE"
Holger Damian Velez Garcia
"I hired Jeff and his team to build an addition on my house after considering several companies, and found his to be the most reasonably priced and well-prepared for the project. From start to finish, the team worked tirelessly, listened to all concerns, and made every requested accommodation. Jeff remained accessible and was very communicative any time an issue or question came up. The addition came out terrific, and I would highly recommend Ultimate Contractors Corporation to anyone needing work done on their home."

Drop ceiling questions, answered

How much does a drop ceiling cost in Newark, NJ?
The price depends on the square footage of the room, the grid layout, and the tile you choose, since a basic basement ceiling costs far less than a high-end acoustic office ceiling. Tearing out an old grid or working around ductwork also affects the number. We measure the space in person and hand you a clear written quote with no hidden fees before any work starts.
Can you replace just the stained or sagging tiles?
Yes. If your grid is straight and solid, we can swap out water-stained, sagging, or broken tiles and leave the rest in place, which is the fast and affordable fix. If the grid itself is bent, rusted, or hanging unevenly, we will tell you honestly and replace the framework so your new tiles sit flat and last.
Will a drop ceiling still let me reach pipes and wiring above?
That is one of the main reasons people choose a suspended ceiling. Each tile lifts out by hand, so plumbing, valves, junction boxes, and ductwork above the grid stay easy to reach for any future repair. We plan the layout so access panels and fixtures land where you actually need them.
Can a drop ceiling cover exposed basement joists?
Absolutely. A suspended grid is one of the cleanest ways to finish a basement, hiding exposed joists, wiring, and pipes while still keeping them reachable. It also helps even out an uneven floor above and gives the room a finished, livable look without the cost of full drywall and framing.
Are you licensed and insured for drop ceiling work?
Yes. Ultimate Contractors Corporation is a licensed, insured, and bonded general contractor based in Newark, NJ, holding NJ Home Improvement Contractor license #13VH12312800. Your ceiling, whether in a home or a commercial space, is installed by a registered, insured crew with the proper permits pulled when the job calls for them.
Do you install drop ceilings in offices and retail spaces?
Yes. We install and repair suspended ceilings in offices, shops, restaurants, and other commercial spaces, working around lighting, sprinklers, and HVAC. We can schedule the work after hours or in phases so your business keeps running while we get the grid hung and the tiles set.
Which New Jersey areas do you install drop ceilings in?
We are based at 185 Johnson Ave in Newark and install and repair drop ceilings across 12 New Jersey counties: Essex, Union, Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Mercer, and Sussex. If you are within about 45 to 60 minutes of Newark, call us at (908) 344-2984 and we will set up a free estimate.
How long does a drop ceiling installation take?
A single basement or office ceiling is often a day or two, while larger commercial floors or full grid replacements take longer, and a simple tile swap can be same day. The exact timeline depends on the size of the room and what runs above the grid, so we give you a realistic schedule in writing before we start.
