What kind of
cost savings can I expect by refinishing, rather
than replacing, my acoustical ceiling?
Generally, refinishing will save you at least
50% of the replacement cost (for a
less-expensive 2x4 ceiling); with a more
expensive tile (for example, a 2x2 revealed
edge), we generally save customers 70-90% of the
cost of replacement.
Will my ceiling have that ‘painted’ look to
it after it’s refinished?
Not at all! Many people have seen ceilings that
have been painted, which usually leaves the
ceiling with an uneven, unsightly ‘splotchy’
look. Our acoustical coating is specifically
formulated for use on acoustical ceilings, and
will not fill in even the smallest fissures
(holes) on the face of the tile.
Will the refinishing process negatively
impact the acoustical properties of my ceiling?
No. Our acoustical coating is designed to retain
the ceiling’s acoustical properties.
What about the ceiling’s fire rating?
Our coating will not adversely affect your
ceiling’s fire rating.
What about the supporting metal gridwork?
Does CeilSpray refinish that as well?
Yes. We refinish the grids and the ceiling tiles
at the same time.
Will the tiles adhere to the metal grids
after refinishing?
No. The tiles will NOT adhere to the supporting
metal gridwork after your ceiling is refinished.
Our acoustical coating is a non-bridging
formulation. You will still be able to lift the
tiles up for access to the area above the
ceiling.
What does "The GREEN way to a white ceiling"
mean?
By now, most people realize that we must start
reducing our waste, in all facets of our lives.
Landfills are reaching their capacity all across
the country. By refinishing, rather than
replacing your ceiling, you’ll prevent a
tremendous amount of waste from having to be
disposed of. Our refinishing process is much
more environmentally friendly than filling up
dumpsters with perfectly good ceiling tiles and
grids.
Is acoustical ceiling refinishing a proven
and tested process?
Refinishing is used by many of the largest
companies across the United States; CeilSpray
has refinished millions of square feet for
hundreds of customers throughout New England,
New York and New Jersey. The majority of our
work nowadays comes from repeat customers, many
of whom have been using our service for years.
How long has CeilSpray been in business?
In April 2006, CeilSpray Ceiling Refinishing,
Inc. will be celebrating its 25th anniversary!
Is CeilSpray fully insured?
Yes. We carry full liability, vehicle, and
workers compensation insurance.
Can I have the ceiling refinished with a
custom color?
Yes. We often refinish ceilings to a custom
color, most commonly in restaurants and retail
spaces. All we need is the color from any major
paint manufacturer’s fan deck, and we will have
our coating tinted to match it.
Can the ceiling refinishing work be done
off-hours?
No problem. About 2/3 of our work is done
after-hours, since we often work in occupied
spaces. We work with our customers to minimize
any disruption to their operations.
We have an in-house maintenance staff. Why not
just replace the ceiling ourselves?
It’s a
bigger (and messier) project than most people
think. A realistic cost comparison will include
not only the cost of the new ceiling tiles, but
also the following:
- labor to
remove and dispose of the old tiles
-
approx. 20% extra tile cost for edge cuts
and miscellaneous waste
-
labor to clean the discolored metal gridwork
-
labor to install the new tiles, including
time-consuming edge cuts
-
possible electrician’s cost to reinstall
light fixtures, smoke detectors, speakers,
etc.
-
cost of waste disposal (dumpsters, etc.)
-
extensive cleanup of the mess generated by
years of dust and debris falling down from
the old ceiling
