Acoustical Ceiling Installation Hodgson

Acoustical ceiling installation in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill

A drop ceiling in an Hodgson space hides ductwork, wiring and plumbing while keeping access easy — and the right acoustic tile cuts noise flat drywall never will. In Hodgson we install suspended T-bar grid ceilings and acoustic tile systems for basements and mixed-use spaces, squared to the room and levelled to a professional standard. Hodgson is an Whitemud community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so basement ceiling height here varies from newer open basements to tighter clearance in the older homes nearby. We cover Hodgson, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.
