Before watching this video- I was fighting with my wife telling her that the box of tiles she bought was absolutely useless without the knowledge to put them up. She has nagged me for almost an entire year!!! But I turned my attention away from politics and aliens on the moon and in Antarctica- and I found your “How to” video. Wow!!! Unreal!! You just made me a Hero!!! I am the shazizzo!! Thank you Manny the man!
Great video! 👍🏼 Today I followed your instructions and replaced water damaged ceiling tiles that have been an eye sore for ten years. It wasn’t that difficult...and I’m a girl! 😀
That's the way I've done ceiling tile repairs with one small difference. Instead of drywall screws, I use white vinyl siding trim nails, then caulk over them. Great video.
I have done this job before but badly. Your method may not be what ceiling experts would do, but it is exactly what I'm going to do! Thank you for taking the time to put this online.
I never claimed to be an expert but your statement makes me feel like one. Thank you so much for the encouragement and thank you so much for watching. I hope your repair comes out well, and if you need anymore help or advice, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for this video. My concern is that within a renovation property, one ceiling in a bedroom has completely fallen- to where less than 10 tiles are still in place. I had a blue tarp put over it because it looks a little alarming. In another room, it's like this in your video; just a handful of tiles are missing in that room. The renovation was stalled because I had no clue what to do. Your video has given me the solution. Best to you & yours. 👍
Ughhh I've been searching for 2 years for a video like this 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Prior owners finished my basement ceiling & used just staple on tiles. While it's completely stunning a couple cracked & needed to be removed. We searched everywhere & could not for the life of me figure out how they did it & what tiles they used. We almost had to take the whole thing down & start over or just leave a piece open which I don't want. This helped a lot thanks.
It seems like the previous homeowner at my house didn’t catch your video before reinstalling ceiling tiles. I haven’t started yet, but your attitude makes it seem way easier than what I expected! thanks for the visual demo
OMG I've been wracking my brain in how to repair 2 ceiling tiles that one side on both dropped loose after living in this cottage for 19 years. You're a life saver, thank you so very much!
WOW! I can feel your energy out to here!! LOL! Your very welcome and I'm glad I was able to help. Thank you for watching and best of luck on your repair.
Your basement looks like mine. You've helped me so much. I have to replace the ceiling tiles my dad put in way back in the early 70's. I'll keep watching your video. Thank you, Manny.
Thanks for this spot on demonstration! I have to do this at my parents' house and I was wondering how to get the last row of tiles & last end tiles. You seem to have figured out the only reasonable solution that would have excellent holding power. It was wonderful of you to share your solution with everyone who needs to do ceiling surgery, now & in the future. You are much appreciated!
Thanks for making this video, I have searched for instructions on this for awhile and your video was the only one I found. Seeing this done was much needed for me and appreciated!
Excellent! I've been searching on how to do this because I have this job not knowing how in the world I was going to do it. This was fantastic, and thank you for sharing.
very good job .. myself being in the home remodeling game for almost 40 years , I have to say these type of ceiling tiles are total junk although millions have been installed, I have yet to see a ceiling with these type of tiles not sag over time, humidity etc causes them to sag , just not a good product but your repair is a great idea and looks good thanks for posting
I agree on the sagging issue. I myself didn't want to use these as well but i thought, for the price at the time, why not. When i installed these, i over used the stapler to make sure there was no sagging for a long time! Thanks for the positive comment though and thanks for watching.
i have a 15 x15 area in the center (of COURSE) of the room. i got the standard 12x12 tiles. and lo and behold when i got to the final row i noticed that the first tile was way too snug. yeah.....the old ones are 11 and a heavy 7/8 to the finish edge. every stinking one. no choice but to cut the finish edge and whip out the caulk. and thats with using a sacrifice tile to snug em nicely like always. i thought 12x12 was the norm in america. no way they ALL shrunk up. yeah rock wool shower all day to boot. i hate repairing this crap.
Depends on where you live and how well they are installed... I have had these on my house and no sag until I had a small fire that the firefighters wet the entire floor with... causing a huge sag... hence why I watched this video... I live in NY which is not very humid... but also, My tiles were installed with GLUE as well as staples.
My basement ceiling was sagging for years and I didn't know how to fix it. I was going to hire someone to rip the whole ceiling and replace for thousands. Now I can just repair the tiles. Thanks so much.
Thank you sir , had a roof leak that stained our Tiles in the bathroom.. Went on RUclips to research it. And yours was the first video to come up.. Perfect fix . Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much! I have about 10 pieces to replace. My tile pieces are the 2 -12 " together but same locking principle. YOU'VE GIVEN ME HOPE. Looks great!!
I had a very similar project today and while I didn't have the same exact slide and latch setup as you, I did have to utilize your technique of using 1" drywall screws to secure to the joists, and the caulk to hide the evidence. Thanks for the vid!
Yah dude, this is the first video I found and the last one i’ll need. Seems very simple but when I looked up at my ceiling and saw a bunch of miscellaneous ceiling tiles that need replacing I had no ideas. Now I just need a few tools and a few screws and I can do this without calling a professional. Ty!
Hello Manny. I watched your video and applied the exact same approach for a customer with the same tile. The approach worked perfectly and you saved me a bunch of time in having to figure it out for myself. If you're ever in the North Shore of Boston look me up and I'll buy you lunch or a beer.
Well thank you very much sir! I'm glad I could help you out. And it's funny thing you mentioned Boston... I went up to Concord Mass in April for the Tough Ruck and had a great time. Maybe I'll take you up on that offer.. 😁
@@manny7155, I'd never heard of Tough Ruck until you just mentioned it. It's excellent that you honor our fallen veterans and first responders. I do a lot of hiking and outdoor activity but I don't think I could pull that off. Good for you!
Let me add my thanks for your helpful video. I removed a closet in my 1952 home and am trying to repair the celiling. So anxious to get my new pantry shelves and cabinets built and this has set me back. Now maybe I can get to it!
I'm stuck in the middle where the original damage occurred from condensation. My new hero. I was at a loss on how to get that last panel in. Bless you! Thumbs up and subbing!!
Thank you!!! I have been looking for a video to replace my titles. I tried myself and had the problem with the overlapping of titles. You have saved me money from having someone coming to fix them. Thank you again!!!!
I did the same fix on my rental a while back... but my mind is blown... lol... that is with your scraping the caulk with razor blade! Even though I repainted the tiles and most would never see, I still can tell which tiles I caulked. Thanks for the tip!
This is very helpful...we live in an old farm house and the corner of the house where me and my wife’s bedroom is the attic space is closed off from the rest of the house..i keep hearing squirrels up there and need to access and see if they have damaged anything and need to remove and replace a couple of the old tiles that are sagging anyways but wasnt sure how they were installed..after watching this now i know what to look forward to.
I appreciate that you did this video. I had plumbing work done. But, nobody to repair tiles plumber created to do the work. Your video gives me confidence I can do it (but not one-handed : >). Thank you!
Damn, I damaged 2 tiles by mistake installing recessed lights, and I was scratching my head on how to repair it. Now this is a great idea, thanks a lot man.
Nice work. You know, for the finish on my ceiling tiles, dry wall mud would work just as well as caulking to do the cover up. Thanks again, I've been looking for this repair too.
Thank you for this video!! I had a leak that went through to my basement with the same exact ceiling tiles and was search for a way to replace it without tear up the other tiles to fit it. Thank you for posting it!!
Just want to thank you so much for sharing your wonderful idea! We found your video last night and fixed our ceiling today which had frustrated us for a long time.
Sorry for the late reply but thank you so much! I'm glad my vid helped and if you run into any problems, message me back and ill help in any way possible.
Thanks, Manny! You made it so easy for this 62 year old recent retiree……………..I have to replace about a dozen tiles and I am going to use your method 100%.
Manny, Manny, Manny!!!!! Thanks so much for this video I have an older second home with some sagging tiles and every time I look at them I just cringe and wonder how to repair them. Your video explained it perfectly!! Nice job and thanks again!!
Thank you for doing your video!! I’m trying to figure out how to do uneven edge of ceiling where I have to cut tiles to fit. They don’t slide in!! My first one I had to cut the sides off like you showed, but couldn’t figure out how to hold it up!! Duh!! Screws!!! Wood glue and long tacks worked, but, not secure if I start putting another tile up. So, I’ve been sitting in my recliner, frustrated, for a week, no suggestions or ideas from friends🙁. So, RUclips saved me again. THANK YOU!!!
Bro my ceiling in my bathroom same tiles got wet had a small leak fixed leak wanted to find out the easiest way of putting up new ceiling tiles and thanks for making this video helped a lot
Thanks man helped me out so much I’m remodeling a room for my sisters baby and the ceiling tiles are saggy and brown from a hurricane that hit a while back. Without you it wouldn’t be done.
Thank you so much! I'm a single mom and the ceiling in our hallway just fell out due to the new roof being in the proccess of being put on and I have the tiles just none of the experience and was so stressed about replacing them. 💜💜💜
awesome, have a rental for my father that needs 16 replaced and I just youtubed this and found you. sounds straight forward and the only thing I was going to do was put a bead of glue to add additional support. And find the leak prior, lol
@@manny7155 I’m actually going to use your method tomorrow. I’ve got the same tiles but glued on. I sent my Sheetrock guy the video and he’s gonna do it for me.
Great video... I have had these on my house and no sag until I had a small fire that the firefighters wet the entire floor with... causing a huge sag. hence why I watched this video... I live in NY which is not very humid... but also, My tiles were installed with GLUE as well as staples.
Thanks for this. I will try it. I have three tiles missing from my basement ceiling because they got damaged. I will buy a pack of new ones and try this technique
Nice video! I’m surprised the tiles are stapled to the joists. The proper way to install these tiles is to have furring strips installed across the joists for the tiles to staple to. Thanks for sharing!
Your absolutely right. Unfortunately, when I redid the ceiling 10 years ago, I didn't know that. 😂 I was young in the home reno gig, and I'm still learning a bunch more! Thanks for watching, peace ✌️
We put ceiling tiles in in 1973 i was 10. Im 60 now and have to remove tiles from a closet to match our dining room. Ive got 9 to work with and I need 6 so heres hoping we can do it.
Hi Mr Lopez. So happy to find your video. My basement ceiling tile is the same as yours. Thank God finding you. I also saw your light fixture. Can you do a video about changing that light fixture. My light is dropping out of the ceiling tile. Not sure if you have a video about that. But thank you still so very much for showing how to install the ceiling. I’m a wife and a mom and like to do DIY project if I can. So I can feel empowered.
Hello Maggie, I'm glad my video helped you. If your talking about the high hat or canister light I don't have a video on that but I can make something quick or if you want IM me, I'll talk you through it. Anyway I can help, 👍
Excellent! I've been searching on how to do this because I have this job too. I was driving and using white ring nails. This looks fantastic, and thank you for sharing I like your method better I was stuck on cover head white RTV looks great
only thing I see different than how I installed mine is the lack of cross pieces. every 12 inches I out a srip in from wall to wall so as to have a place to staple to. your repair is what I need next as a few have sagging. I look forward to getting off here and doing your repair method!
Video helps a lot my man I just booked a job today I’m watching this on the way to go do it now lol 😂. Thank you thank you!!!! I was wondering how I was going to get the tiles supported in place cause stapling seemed impossible on a repair for just a few tiles. I have just 6 tiles to do.
I just did a replacement job on my house. It was a pain in the butt . The old tiles were brittle as heck. I did what you did to cut and fit,besides staples. Same tile number as you had. My only grip is that these tiles are $16.oo a carton of 10. I caulked some edges and had the paint matched. Dude this would cost a fortune to redo a 13.50x32.50 ceiling. It would have been cheaper to sheetrock. can't do this since i have renter living in house. You are right about not seeing video on this. Good work.
richard mouton, I'm not sure if your saying this worked for you or not, but I agree with the fact that this is not a method to use on a very large area. I only had to replace four tiles because of a plumbing job, so in that fact, this method is fine. If you have a large are that is messed up, then yes, sheetrock or simply re-tiling the ceiling would be a better alternative.
Manny Lopez It did work for me. I was lucky that i did not have to use screws, but that is a good fix you came up with. I choose the low dimples to make it easier to hide. caulk over and paint. Thanks
great video! I have this type of ceiling in my basement and have been putting off some electrical work for too long all because I didn't know how to disassemble this ceiling without wrecking it. took alot of searching before finding this vid. thanks again!

Nice video! I’m surprised the tiles are stapled to the joists. The proper way to install these tiles is to have furring strips installed across the joists for the tiles to staple to. Thanks for sharing!
Your absolutely right.
Unfortunately, when I redid the ceiling 10 years ago, I didn't know that. 😂
I was young in the home reno gig, and I'm still learning a bunch more!
Thanks for watching, peace ✌️
We put ceiling tiles in in 1973 i was 10. Im 60 now and have to remove tiles from a closet to match our dining room. Ive got 9 to work with and I need 6 so heres hoping we can do it.
Thank you. You have saved me time and materials. I appreciate you.
Your welcome and thank you for watching.
I was needing to do my ceiling tiles and didn't know how! Thank you, I feel I can do it now
Your welcome and good luck.
Thanks for the details to finish the job right. Solid video.
Perfect job. I got those tiles and I want to insulate my ceiling but want to reuse my tiles. Thanks for the tip
Your welcome!
Hi Mr Lopez. So happy to find your video. My basement ceiling tile is the same as yours. Thank God finding you. I also saw your light fixture. Can you do a video about changing that light fixture. My light is dropping out of the ceiling tile. Not sure if you have a video about that. But thank you still so very much for showing how to install the ceiling. I’m a wife and a mom and like to do DIY project if I can. So I can feel empowered.
Hello Maggie, I'm glad my video helped you. If your talking about the high hat or canister light I don't have a video on that but I can make something quick or if you want IM me, I'll talk you through it. Anyway I can help, 👍
This is a great video that helped a lot; and, this video was also very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for posting it on RUclips.
Your welcome and thanks for stopping by.
thx very much needed, great job
Excellent! I've been searching on how to do this because I have this job too. I was driving and using white ring nails.
This looks fantastic, and thank you for sharing I like your method better I was stuck on cover head white RTV looks great
This was great--thorough and yet easy to understand. Thanks!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching 👍
only thing I see different than how I installed mine is the lack of cross pieces. every 12 inches I out a srip in from wall to wall so as to have a place to staple to. your repair is what I need next as a few have sagging. I look forward to getting off here and doing your repair method!
Good luck, and thanks for watching.
Wow, thank you for this!! I've been searching for ways for awhile.
Bryan Wilson your welcome, glad I could help.
Video helps a lot my man I just booked a job today I’m watching this on the way to go do it now lol 😂. Thank you thank you!!!! I was wondering how I was going to get the tiles supported in place cause stapling seemed impossible on a repair for just a few tiles. I have just 6 tiles to do.
Nice video & thanks for sharing. Sparse info out there on these blasted things. Repair looks good! Cheers.
Thank you very much!
Thanks Manny , very motivational and professional.
Thank you for the video a friend has some of these tiles I gotta replace several and was wondering how to do it this is a life saver
Thank you for this videos I really appreciate you sir
Your very welcome and thank you for watching!
Great Manny!
This cleared my confusion about these tiles!
Not to worry.
I can’t wait to try this! I am going to attempt this job by myself. I hope it is as easy as the way you make it look!
It really is easy. If you run into trouble though, reach out to me and ill walk you through it. Good luck.
Manny you're a genius! I tried a brad nailer on the lowest setting and it wouldn't hold the tile. Brads blew right threw 😢
Hey Manny,
Exactly what I needed. I appreciate you took the time to make this video, especially one handed!
Happy Holidays!!
Thanks for the watch, and good luck on your repair 😊
thanks so much! Yes, got my answers I have about 6 to replace.. and was at a loss. great video.
Your welcome and thank you for watching. 👍
And yes, Manny, you are right about the electrical wires. People, before you drill, remember the electrical wires or any plumbing lines.
Nice & simple great job.I will be doing this on Monday.
Your welcome and thank you for watching. I hope your job comes out well 🙂
Nice repair with a simple solution. Makes me hate acoustic tile a little less. Good easy save.
I just did a replacement job on my house. It was a pain in the butt . The old tiles were brittle as heck. I did what you did to cut and fit,besides staples. Same tile number as you had. My only grip is that these tiles are $16.oo a carton of 10. I caulked some edges and had the paint matched. Dude this would cost a fortune to redo a 13.50x32.50 ceiling. It would have been cheaper to sheetrock. can't do this since i have renter living in house. You are right about not seeing video on this. Good work.
richard mouton,
I'm not sure if your saying this worked for you or not, but I agree with the fact that this is not a method to use on a very large area. I only had to replace four tiles because of a plumbing job, so in that fact, this method is fine. If you have a large are that is messed up, then yes, sheetrock or simply re-tiling the ceiling would be a better alternative.
Manny Lopez It did work for me. I was lucky that i did not have to use screws, but that is a good fix you came up with. I choose the low dimples to make it easier to hide. caulk over and paint. Thanks
great video! I have this type of ceiling in my basement and have been putting off some electrical work for too long all because I didn't know how to disassemble this ceiling without wrecking it. took alot of searching before finding this vid. thanks again!
Your welcome, thank you for watching.
Thank you. Just what I needed. Great video
