Ceilings are more than just a finish—they affect acoustics, lighting, visual height, and thermal comfort. At Grupo Contreras, we understand that each space demands a tailored ceiling system, and the right choice makes all the difference.
Common Ceiling Types
- ACT (Acoustic Ceiling Tile): Removable modular panels with visible grid, ideal for offices, retail, and institutional buildings.
- Drywall (Gypsum ceilings): Smooth, continuous finishes perfect for residential, luxury commercial, and healthcare spaces.
- Exposed structure: Open ceilings with visible mechanical elements—common in industrial or modern architecture.
What We Evaluate
- Function of the space: Office, hospital, restaurant, warehouse?
- Acoustic needs: Is sound isolation a priority?
- Access to systems: Will there be a frequent need to reach MEP above the ceiling?
- Design goals: Are we aiming for minimalism, comfort, or raw aesthetics?
- Budget and timeline: What are the project constraints?
Our Process
- Review architectural and MEP drawings.
- Coordinate with other trades to avoid clashes.
- Advise GC when specs don’t align with best practices.
- Install with precision, ensuring levelness and clean lines.
Best Practices We Follow
- Laser-level installation for accuracy.
- Protect ceiling tiles or boards pre- and post-install.

Ceilings shape the identity of a space. Whether technical, decorative, or functional, Grupo Contreras makes sure your ceilings look right, work well, and install flawlessly.
