Ceiling Repair & Emergency Service

Water damage, sagging tiles, broken grid. We fix it.

Commercial Ceiling Repair

Ceilings take damage. Roof leaks stain and sag tiles. Plumbing breaks flood the plenum. Other trades knock grid out of alignment working above the ceiling. HVAC condensation drips onto tiles for months before anyone notices. Whatever happened, we can fix it.

Common Repairs We Handle

Water-Damaged Ceiling Tiles

This is the repair we do most often. A roof leak, a burst pipe, or HVAC condensation soaks ceiling tiles and leaves brown stains. Wet mineral fiber tiles sag and eventually fall. You can't clean or paint water-stained tiles — they need to be replaced.

We pull the damaged tiles, inspect the grid and above-ceiling conditions, and drop in new matching tiles. If the water source hasn't been fixed yet, we'll tell you — there's no point replacing tiles if they're going to get wet again next week.

Sagging Ceiling Tiles

Tiles sag for two reasons: moisture exposure (even high humidity over time) or the wrong tile for the environment. Mineral fiber tiles in a space without consistent HVAC will eventually sag. We replace sagging tiles and, if humidity is the problem, recommend humidity-resistant products like Armstrong HumiGuard+ or switch to a material that won't sag (metal, vinyl-faced).

Grid Damage & Repair

Grid gets damaged when someone leans a ladder against it, when above-ceiling work puts stress on the system, or when hangers fail. Bent main runners, broken cross tees, detached wall angle — we repair or replace damaged grid sections and get everything level again.

For older buildings with rusted grid, we can do a partial or full grid replacement without tearing out the whole ceiling.

Tile Replacement & Matching

Need to replace a few tiles in an existing ceiling? We track down matching product. If the exact tile is discontinued, we find the closest current equivalent. We keep records of products we've installed, and we know the product lines well enough to match by sight when needed.

Seismic Bracing Retrofit

Older buildings may have suspended ceilings installed before current seismic codes. We retrofit seismic bracing to bring existing ceilings up to code — compression posts, splay wires, and perimeter clearance as required by California building code.

Ceiling Tile Cleaning

Some stains and discoloration can be addressed without full tile replacement. We assess the condition and let you know honestly whether cleaning will work or if replacement is the better call.

Emergency Response

If you've got a ceiling emergency — tiles falling, major water damage, safety hazard — call us. We respond quickly for commercial emergencies in the Sacramento area. We'll get the immediate problem stabilized (remove hazardous tiles, contain the area) and then plan the full repair.

Building Owners & Property Managers

We work with property management companies and building owners on ongoing ceiling maintenance. Tenant move-outs, water damage repairs, periodic tile replacement — we can be your ceiling contractor on call. Consistent pricing, fast response, quality work.
