Drop ceilings are the whole story here. Studley Construction is Ryan, working out of 7 Lee Street in Wakefield, and eight of the nine reviews on file are about acoustic ceiling tile — installed, repaired, and in one commercial job, done across a whole space. The reviews are unusually consistent about two things: the schedule and the honesty. A customer in February 2024 wrote that Ryan stopped him from ordering the tile he had picked out after realising the price he had seen was per tile, not per box, and arranged an electrician to replace the lights. A November 2023 customer described booking seven contractors before finding him — six cancelled or never showed — then had Ryan return after the job to swap a tile the electrician had damaged. Another that month said Ryan walked them through the plan and answered every question. The shortest reviews say the same thing in fewer words: on time, on budget, done in a day. One thing to weigh: the written record stops in February 2025. Nine reviews across 2023 to 2025, all on the same HomeAdvisor listing, is a narrow and now slightly dated picture, however good it reads. HomeAdvisor puts the average at 4.9 and the profile claims 26 years in the trade. If you have a suspended or acoustic ceiling to put in — commercial or residential — this is a specialist rather than a general remodeller, and the finish-carpentry side is listed alongside it. Ask what he has been working on lately, since nothing newer than early 2025 is on record.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Studley Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.

Ryan was great! Excellent communication and on time. Worked fast and new ceiling looks fantastic. Would highly recommend.
Dependable & timely
On time, on budget And executed the job in one day
It was so good to work with Ryan. He did not try to gouge me, and stopped me from making a costly mistake. I wanted a certain tile, thinking the price per box, but it was per tile! I am so happy with my results, the respect I was given, and the electrical contractor Ryan got to replace the lights.
Fast, clean, professional, on time and before scheduled. What more can you ask for?
