Getting a price together for a customer here in NC to finish up a 1300 S.F. basement that the previous contractor did not finish. He wants a suspended ceiling but didn't know exactly what he was looking for, so I'm going to price something I think he will be ok with, spec. that out, and go from there after the pre-liminary price meeting with him. My question is, what does this stuff cost, material and labor. I've never done a suspended ceiling before. Looking to use something like the 24" x 24" Contractor Textured Ceiling Panels that you can get at Lowes. Can't post the link due to lack of posts on here... but you can find it at Lowes' website, search for Armstrong Ceiling Panel. Its the 24 x 24 Contractor Texture priced at $32.68 / box, which covers 64 S.F.
We'll let him decide if thats suitable or not after the pre-lim. pricing, and get more in detail as to what he wants and re-price if needed be.
I have no clue what the grid system will cost or labor, or turn key if doing it that way. This 1300 S.F. is cut up in about 5 different rooms, so that will probably make a difference as I would assume 1300 S.F. broken out in 5 different areas is more time consuming than just a straight forward 1300 S.F. room by itself.
Can anybody give me a good basis to price this thing from, turn-key, or grid cost, labor cost etc...
Thanks.
