I looked at several videos for installing a drop ceiling. Your video was the first I could fully comprehend! You have a gift for teaching. You added nothing I didn't need to hear and enough detail to understand. You did not leave out any detail. Thank you so much.
Great video. Never ceases to amaze me how people bash others when they make videos like this. Kudos to you for taking the time to make a detailed video and subject your work to the criticism of others. I have yet to find a single instructional video in which people don't have derogatory comments to leave. The purpose of the video is to show DIY'ers how to put a drop ceiling with basic hand tools they would have it home. I think he succeeded in that respect. I had no idea how to put one up, and based on what I've seen I feel comfortable enough to install one in a room I have. Thanks for the help!
Matt Fraser, Im so glad you said this. Poor guy He's really nice and savvy yet he gets these cowards and anonymous know it alls who have nothing nice to say.... thank you, J.
I know right. I’ve watched his videos on how to build a deck. For me his was the best video explaining in detail exactly what to do. I was happy with the outcome. 👍🏻
I've never commented on your videos before, but I just want to say thank you so much for the work you do putting these videos together. I'm not sure you realize the impact you've made on a lot of DIYers like myself. We appreciate you!
Thanks for that! I like that you didn’t waste time by telling us what a beautiful day it is outside or what brand of measuring tape your using... but just enough info for us to comprehend what it takes to get this done. Perfect! Thank you so much!
I watched this video a few years ago when I was asked to do two drop ceilings for my daughter. After scouring you tube for help, I finally found Shannon’s channel. I did two ceilings that were as perfect as a professional would do, and it was a breeze thanks to Shannon. It helped that I was a drywall finisher and knew how to walk on stilts, made it very quick putting up the grid. So I’m here watching this just for the fun of it, brings back good memories. Oh ya, I’m also watching a few videos on installing a new vanity that was also excellent. Shannon is a good man and deserves the Nobel peace prize for his contribution to humanity. Well, a sincere thank you anyway!!!
I recently installed a drop ceiling for the first time in a new bedroom I added to our home. The only reference I needed was your video. Everything I needed to know was there. I played it as I was doing the installation. I am very pleased with the result. Thanks so much for providing this excellent DIY resource.
You Canadians DIY RUclipsrs know your stuff. I've watched a LOT of DIY videos over the last 8 months because I bought a house with a lot of work to do, and you guys have proved the know-how and the pitfalls.
Shannon, Thank you very much for this video. I wanted to install a drop ceiling in my basement, but had no idea how to do it. Your excellent video gave me an easy step by step path to doing it. Your directions and tips made this a more than doable project. You saved me a lot of time and aggravation and helped me produce a fairly credible result. Thank you again for this excellent video. Dennis
Excellent show Shannon! I frequently watch your videos as you explain every potential obstacles that we might come across when doing the job that helps everyone tremendously. As always thank you very much.
Finally a beginning to end video on how to do this. Thank you! Keep posting stuff like this. It’s the best video I’ve found! We are currently installing our basement ceiling and have been feeling so overwhelmed by it as we have never done it before.
You did a great job. Pay no attention to the trolls. They're just jealous because they have not yet figured out how to install a drop ceiling in their parents' basement.
Been following this guys videos awhile but didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed. This guy is one of the best DIY guys at taking his time doing it right and showing us detail step by step how to do these tasks. My basement needs a new drop ceiling as it was falling down when my wife and I bought house I also put in 16 new can lights myself and got rid of these ol 4 ft heavy fluorescent lights out of here.
Shannon, thank you for making a video that is clear and detailed! I sifted through 5 or 6 others that only left me more confused about this process. I'm so glad I found yours! You make it very easy to understand for people who have no idea where to begin! I am confident that I can complete this project with great results, thanks to you!
You are a fine craftsman. It's the details you included in your work i.e. the notching of the partial tile to make it sit evenly, the marking on the wall ABOVE the edge of the grid--makes all the difference in the finished product. If only more "professional" installers were as diligent as you, everything would be better! Thanks for your great info.
All of your videos are amazing! You're a patient teacher. Always lots of detail and you are very thorough. THANK-YOU for all that you do in bringing DIY's to the next level.
Shannon, Have previously installed one of these type of ceilings for a basement wood shop ceiling. You did a GREAT JOB explaining all the basics of how to do one of these ceilings. Keep these videos coming. Encourages me to take on MORE DIY projects.
Shannon, I wanted to tell you that this video really helped me today to install the grid work for a suspended ceiling I worked on for a customer. My main concern was how to accurately measure and cutting the main tees and your method worked like a charm!👍
This video was very helpful. It covered all bases in detail. After watching this video, I am confident to tackle the job I need to do. I will definitely watch more of your videos when I have other projects to do. You are very thorough (even going so far as to mention having a rag to keep your hands clean), which I really liked!
Great instructional video. One of the best videos that I have viewed when looking for a method to complete a task. This is a long video but I highly recommend that it be watched from start to finish before you even buy material. This video pretty much covers off all that you need to know to effectively install a drop ceiling. I thank you very much for putting this video up and I am now heading off to buy all the material and get going on my ceiling.
Shannon, your videos are the best. I just bought my first house this year, and I always considered myself a complete dummy when it came to any type of home improvement. Your videos give me the confidence and know-how to get things done on my own, and really make the most out of my house. Thanks for taking the time to help us!
+HouseImprovements you are doing getting the job done. But taking way to long. definitely need to cut out steps. like your outside corner moulding. No need to find studs use pin nails and fence staples or screw the drywall screw anywhere. Your moulding does not bear the weight your mains do.
@@gldenglvesMaybe so, but good practice anywhere is to use studs or structure to screw off on. Luckily my joist height was 9’ and I was able to see above my 8’ walls to finds my studs.
Awesome video, impressed that you showed how to cut the outside tiles properly. It's most common to see the outside tiles cut straight not bothering to make a new bevel.
Hi Shannon, I wanted to sincerely Thank you for this great video. My daughter has been waiting for months on the guy who was supposed to do her kids new bedrooms, he finally just cancelled, So it was up to me to do it. I was a union taper and worked on big commercial jobs, and worked with tin snips a lot cutting metal corner bead, control joints, flex bead, you name it. So working with the ceiling grid and making cuts was a snap. Plus, having stilts was a big plus as I did everything on them. It went very fast, and it turned out beautiful. Level and professional. I used tiles with a recessed edge like you did, and they were beautiful. But without your video, I would have been screwed. I watched every video on RUclips, and learned very little until I watched yours. Thanks man, totally in debt to you.
i forgot to add that I loved that even though you talked about a laser level most of us don't have that technology or know how to use it. By showing the basic 4 foot level technique which takes a bit longer was perfect for me.
I just finished watching a couple of manufacturer videos on doing these installs and was very confused and was going to hire it out. After watching this I am going to do it myself. What a difference a good video can make. Kudos Shannon. As usual a great video.
another good one! putting in a drop ceiling in a room, all the little tips and tricks are invaluable! seriously.. thanks so much for creating these videos....Cheers!
A great video, I’m starting 500 sq ft of drop ceiling today and really appreciated this tutorial. Also as a US resident who hasn’t been able to visit Ontario in nearly two years after normally spending 3+ weeks a summer there I enjoyed hearing the Canadian accent. It seems Canadian tradesman are professionals and great teachers! Thank you!
Great instructional video! I watched your video and no longer felt intimidated. I'm a single woman and I installed a drop ceiling in my basement laundry room and turned out great! Ready to tackle the rest of the basement.
OMG!!!! So Very Glad I found You, what an amazing video.We are doing our laundry room and I take my computer with me to follow your instructions...We are all done with the hard work today,which really wasn't that hard..Now the part I like popping in the tiles...Yesssssss.. Starting to look great..Keep up the great work...Thanks so much for helping us to do this project
Thanks a ton for a great video explaining in detail how to hang a suspended ceiling. You break it down the simplest parts and explain each and every step.
Thanks Shannon. Your DIY videos are the best on the web. I have used a good number in the past, and all have been well prepared. Also, when I have a new-to-me task, I check your videos to see if you have one on point. Keep up the good work!
Thanks to Shannon I can now renovate like a pro and am actually considering doing this professionally. I'm surprisingly good at it! I also saved thousands of dollars by not having to hire someone.
This is a great video but if you start doing it professionally you'll see very quickly how Shannon simplified the process in the video so as not to confuse the diy viewers.
Thank you Shannon, great instructional video. I have watched it a couple of times already and I am sure I will watch it again. Very complete and thorough.
This video is FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so much for going into so much detail. I'm going to tackle my drop ceiling this week and have watched your video a few times. I'm sure I'll keep watching it with each step in the project. Much appreciated!
I appreciate the smallest of tips. Such as placing the level above your line as to not scuff up the finished wall. I think about these things as well. Good job
absolutely love your videos. My husband and I finished our basement ourselves and after looking at tons of other people/company's videos we both agreed yours were the hands down best. I feel like we should have paid you we learned so much. lol thank you soo much for doing these Hope to see you on Twitter some time soon.
So appreciate all your videos. They have made it possible to even try to finish off my basement. I love my husband dearly but he is not at all inclined to construct anything so it is up to me and most times I feel overwhelmed but your videos are clear and concise and very helpful!! Thank you!
You saved me a lot of time! I just need to replace one tile that got water damage. I thought I would have to cut the ones that I had that were too big, and was worried about doing it right. Now I know to go buy one that is already the right size and already ridged. Not worth trying to cut the cheaper ones that don’t fit all that well. Thanks!
Nice video. Easy to understand. Followed the instructions and ended up doing a very good job. Thank you for all the tips ! Even a French Canadian can understand and follow the video easily !
Hi Shannon - thanks for this video. I wanted to tell you that over the last 5 or so years as I have been fixing up my house, it's amazing how many times I end up on your video channel. Vinyl siding, windows, drop ceilings. Your instructional videos are really fantastic and whenever I see the hockey canada hat appear I know I'll be getting the info I need. Good job to you and your cameraperson. THANK YOU
Shannon, thank you for this video! I watched this a few years ago just after you had released it to see how to install a ceiling in one of my basement rooms.Now here I am again, having forgotten most of what you taught me, getting ready to do another room in that basement. Great to have someone like you helping us with that occasional DIY project.
Thank you Shannon. Fantastic video instructions. I had viewed a 4min video prior which was also very good and I thought "uff 50min to watch now, how much more can I learn?" But I have to say well worth watching! Thank you for all your little hints here and there to help us DIY'ers avoid many mistakes we'd undoubtedly would do. Now I feel much better prepared to endeavor upon my basement project. Many thanks, Rudy
I have used your video a ton while installing my drop ceiling. However, you make cutting the recessed edges look way easier than it is! I am struggling to get them to come out nice. Well, only 47 more to cut! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the video, I just started to do my first drop ceiling and I have never done them before and this video was very helpful on the how to. I am a contractor and I have taken the time to make it a point that I am going to start to do these kind of ceilings myself rather then subbing them out to people, that way I can get the job done in a timely manner and I don't have to wait for the contractor that I subbed it out to, to show up and complete the work, So again thank you for the video.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, with lots of good tips for the 'amateur' :) Well made, clearly described, and actually, for a DIY video...very entertaining! Well done!!!
Very well done video, Shannon. You've explained the process clearly allowing me to understand how to approach my ceiling. Thanks for taking the time to do the video. A mention of using safety glasses would be prudent when handling those panels in the after cutting.
Great informative straightforward simple and detailed video. I'm a handyman and do everything but I'm not an expert in anything so it's been a while since I've done a drop ceiling and this was a fantastic review and I picked up several points that'll make it a lot quicker and more professional looking. Thank you for investing your time I hope you're making some money on RUclips!!
Great video. After watching this video I was able to install a drop ceiling with no prior experience and it looks like a professional did it. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks so much! I have to manage a project tomorrow where we put in a drop ceiling, and this is really saving my tail. I must say though that if you just did a step, then went back and gave the professional tips, that context would make the details easier to remember, understand, and apply.
Nice video. I’ve done drop ceilings before, but never start to finish. I still consider myself a novice. This video was done extremely well. Very helpful. Thanks
VERY INFORMATIVE! I like the step by step explanations and tips! I look forward to following your build a shed series when building prices go back down.
I love your videos. Whenever I want to see how to do something the right way I always look to your videos. It's amazing how much you know about construction.
Great tutorial. I just purchased an old factory building that I am going to be refurbishing. I have a feeling that I am going to be doing a lot of drop ceiling work. Thanks for posting this video. Very informative!
really interesting watch. I had absolutely no idea how these ceiling systems were installed now I feel confident enough to give it a bash for my workshop! thanks.
Thank you Shannon for all your videos. I always look forward to seeing your videos. They are always so precise. This video was VERY helpful as I am helping a friend of mine finish his basement and install drop ceiling. Thanks once again.
With no prior training or barely reading other instructions, this video got my suspended ceiling done almost perfectly. Awesome. I will add that the visible surface of the ceiling tile I used (Armstrong 932) was highly sensitive to nicks but over time I became better at using a smooth cut with a sharp blade guided by a clamped straight edge and that kept the nicks and gouges to a minimum. Excellent video though.
Thank you for such great videos Shannon (and camera man). I have been working on projects around my house for about a year and always end up watching your videos for clarification and troubleshooting. I appreciate your attention to detail, tool recommendations and covering/explaining the issues that may arise along the way. I just subscribed and will continue to use your videos as long as I am doing projects! Good stuff sir!!

If a RUclipsr wastes your time, you have every right to complain. I’m now bashing you for being so oblivious.
I know right. I’ve watched his videos on how to build a deck. For me his was the best video explaining in detail exactly what to do. I was happy with the outcome. 👍🏻
I’ve seen enough drop ceilings to know there’s nothing wrong with how he did it.
I've never commented on your videos before, but I just want to say thank you so much for the work you do putting these videos together. I'm not sure you realize the impact you've made on a lot of DIYers like myself. We appreciate you!

I did not think I would watch the entire video... but I did and now I feel confident in doing this project!
One of the best instructional videos I've found for installing a drop ceiling. You have great teaching credentials.

Hello sir im suspended install what of the water level
You did a great job. Pay no attention to the trolls. They're just jealous because they have not yet figured out how to install a drop ceiling in their parents' basement.
Good instructions; I like the slow real time pace of the video, thanks
Husband and I were able to do the ceiling of an entire house by watching your video. Thank you so much.
Nice people doing nice things for people. That is you Shannon! you are well appreciated thank you for being you.
Been following this guys videos awhile but didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed.

Can't thank you enough Shannon. I've been watching all your videos from framing to mudding and now I'm almost done with my basement.
Thank you, Shannon! Your video was my main source for putting the drop ceiling in my recording studio. Appreciate!
Shannon, thank you for making a video that is clear and detailed! I sifted through 5 or 6 others that only left me more confused about this process. I'm so glad I found yours! You make it very easy to understand for people who have no idea where to begin! I am confident that I can complete this project with great results, thanks to you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this thorough video. Tons of great pointers. Best how-to for drop ceilings on the internet. Thank you!
I watched several of the videos showing how to install the ceiling grid and yours was BY FAR the best. Thanks for doing such a good job explaining.
You are a fine craftsman. It's the details you included in your work i.e. the notching of the partial tile to make it sit evenly, the marking on the wall ABOVE the edge of the grid--makes all the difference in the finished product. If only more "professional" installers were as diligent as you, everything would be better! Thanks for your great info.
Thank you
All of your videos are amazing! You're a patient teacher. Always lots of detail and you are very thorough. THANK-YOU for all that you do in bringing DIY's to the next level.

This is the best video I ever came across. Each element is explained in detail and helped me figure out my own project.
Very good video. Obviously not the first time Shannon has installed a drop ceiling. I only got to do two over the past 16 years.
I am so thankful I found your video. You give great directions. Its easy to catch on to your instructions. Great Job!

Thanks a ton for a great video explaining in detail how to hang a suspended ceiling. You break it down the simplest parts and explain each and every step.
Thank you
Great video. Thanks for going slow and explaining everything in pretty good detail as you went along. Very helpful to me.
This video was a huge help in showing me how to install a drop ceiling in our basement. Thank you for making it so understandable.
Thanks Shannon. Your DIY videos are the best on the web. I have used a good number in the past, and all have been well prepared. Also, when I have a new-to-me task, I check your videos to see if you have one on point. Keep up the good work!
Great Video, great information. Installing a dropped ceiling for the first time and am more confident that I can do this! Keep your videos coming!!!
Great video. The way you give the details of how to do the job is great . On your guides I did a ceiling successfully. Hats off to you.
Great to hear!
Have done this twice before but it was great to see this to catch the tips that I may not have remembered from the first time. Thank you!
+Steff Box you're welcome
Thanks to Shannon I can now renovate like a pro and am actually considering doing this professionally. I'm surprisingly good at it!

Thank you Shannon, great instructional video. I have watched it a couple of times already and I am sure I will watch it again. Very complete and thorough.
great
Hands down best vid and website that explained the process for a not so handy guy like me. Much thanks!
Installing a drop cieling today in a dentists office. Thanks for being here my friend..
This video is FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so much for going into so much detail. I'm going to tackle my drop ceiling this week and have watched your video a few times. I'm sure I'll keep watching it with each step in the project. Much appreciated!
Good work. Thanks for adding this video, we need more knowledgeable installers on RUclips.
I appreciate the smallest of tips. Such as placing the level above your line as to not scuff up the finished wall. I think about these things as well. Good job
absolutely love your videos. My husband and I finished our basement ourselves and after looking at tons of other people/company's videos we both agreed yours were the hands down best. I feel like we should have paid you we learned so much. lol thank you soo much for doing these Hope to see you on Twitter some time soon.
Glad you liked our stuff. We are on twitter by the way.
Great job, I haven't installed one for many years and you did such a great job explained it, refreshed my mind, thanks
me too. It's been many years since I have done one and this refresher is just what I needed
So appreciate all your videos. They have made it possible to even try to finish off my basement. I love my husband dearly but he is not at all inclined to construct anything so it is up to me and most times I feel overwhelmed but your videos are clear and concise and very helpful!! Thank you!

Shannon, thank you for this video! I watched this a few years ago just after you had released it to see how to install a ceiling in one of my basement rooms.Now here I am again, having forgotten most of what you taught me, getting ready to do another room in that basement. Great to have someone like you helping us with that occasional DIY project.
Thanks for returning
Thank you Shannon. Fantastic video instructions. I had viewed a 4min video prior which was also very good and I thought "uff 50min to watch now, how much more can I learn?" But I have to say well worth watching! Thank you for all your little hints here and there to help us DIY'ers avoid many mistakes we'd undoubtedly would do. Now I feel much better prepared to endeavor upon my basement project. Many thanks, Rudy
We give many details that most others can not do in short videos. Thanks for watching
Excellent demonstration. Your videos are great.. Thanks for the many years of sharing knowledge.
My pleasure!
Excellent !!
Thank you for taking the time, in this video and others you have, to help us out.
Thank you Shannon for this very thorough video. I'm wanting to install a suspended ceiling in my basement and this will clearly help me out!
I have used your video a ton while installing my drop ceiling. However, you make cutting the recessed edges look way easier than it is! I am struggling to get them to come out nice. Well, only 47 more to cut! Thanks for the video.
Ya that can be tricky.... by the time you do 47 more you will be just getting good at it. LOL! keep up the good work.
Thanks for the video Shannon. It's very informative and the only instructional that explains all steps.
I've learned a lot and thanks for the lesson. I feel more confident now as I start my ceiling project. Thanks!
Top teacher - Top Explanations - Top marks - Thanks, Shannon!!
Thank you for the video, I just started to do my first drop ceiling and I have never done them before and this video was very helpful on the how to. I am a contractor and I have taken the time to make it a point that I am going to start to do these kind of ceilings myself rather then subbing them out to people, that way I can get the job done in a timely manner and I don't have to wait for the contractor that I subbed it out to, to show up and complete the work, So again thank you for the video.
I followed your instructions and completed my ceiling. It went together like clockwork and looks very pro. Thank you
Confident, matter of fact delivery, this was the ‘go too’ video I referred back to during my first time ceiling install. 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, with lots of good tips for the 'amateur' :) Well made, clearly described, and actually, for a DIY video...very entertaining! Well done!!!
Very well done video, Shannon. You've explained the process clearly allowing me to understand how to approach my ceiling. Thanks for taking the time to do the video. A mention of using safety glasses would be prudent when handling those panels in the after cutting.
Outstanding video! Perfectly paced, making the process extremely clear.
Great informative straightforward simple and detailed video. I'm a handyman and do everything but I'm not an expert in anything so it's been a while since I've done a drop ceiling and this was a fantastic review and I picked up several points that'll make it a lot quicker and more professional looking. Thank you for investing your time I hope you're making some money on RUclips!!
Glad it was helpful!
Best construction channel on RUclips. Shannon rocks. Just signed up for a monthly Patreon contribution!
One of the best instruction videos I have watched. Great job.
Great video. After watching this video I was able to install a drop ceiling with no prior experience and it looks like a professional did it. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Glad it helped
Thanks so much! I have to manage a project tomorrow where we put in a drop ceiling, and this is really saving my tail. I must say though that if you just did a step, then went back and gave the professional tips, that context would make the details easier to remember, understand, and apply.
Nice video. I’ve done drop ceilings before, but never start to finish. I still consider myself a novice. This video was done extremely well. Very helpful. Thanks
This is the best video so far, I going to mine baseman soon thank you for your time and consideration
Your a lifesaver. By far the best video on here regarding this project. Thank you!
Great to hear!
thank you so much!! I bumped into you at the home show last week. Very informative videos you have, greatly appreciated.
Hey Curtis, glad to have met you
VERY INFORMATIVE! I like the step by step explanations and tips! I look forward to following your build a shed series when building prices go back down.
Awesome, thank you!
I love your videos. Whenever I want to see how to do something the right way I always look to your videos. It's amazing how much you know about construction.
Thanks for watching
Great tutorial. I just purchased an old factory building that I am going to be refurbishing. I have a feeling that I am going to be doing a lot of drop ceiling work. Thanks for posting this video. Very informative!
really interesting watch. I had absolutely no idea how these ceiling systems were installed now I feel confident enough to give it a bash for my workshop! thanks.
Im gonna do my basement celilings just as you explained. Very detailed. Takes alot of patience and perfection! thankyou!
Thank you Shannon for all your videos. I always look forward to seeing your videos. They are always so precise. This video was VERY helpful as I am helping a friend of mine finish his basement and install drop ceiling. Thanks once again.
Such an informative video, thanks so much for sharing. I'm going to try to do this myself in the basement this spring.
With no prior training or barely reading other instructions, this video got my suspended ceiling done almost perfectly. Awesome. I will add that the visible surface of the ceiling tile I used (Armstrong 932) was highly sensitive to nicks but over time I became better at using a smooth cut with a sharp blade guided by a clamped straight edge and that kept the nicks and gouges to a minimum. Excellent video though.
+Jim G Glad to hear the video helped you out!
had to fit 2 bathrooms with this system and I've never used it before so this video was spot on and extremely helpful! cheers dude
Good to hear.
Thank you for such great videos Shannon (and camera man). I have been working on projects around my house for about a year and always end up watching your videos for clarification and troubleshooting. I appreciate your attention to detail, tool recommendations and covering/explaining the issues that may arise along the way. I just subscribed and will continue to use your videos as long as I am doing projects! Good stuff sir!!
Thanks for the SUB, Dan
