Need tin installer

Hey,
Can anyone recommend a tin installer? Most contractors flat out refuse to try and the only real quote we've gotten was close to $5k for one room ($1500 materials)! We need one room completely installed and one repaired.

I used Mitch (Long Island contracter) for several repairs in my Park Slope House. I would recommend him, however I don't have his number on hand. If your interested drop me a line to remind me and I get it for you. Giovannajo@msn.com

Are you talking about installing a tin ceiling?

I love installing them, you can reach me through my website at RickLaddBrooklyn.com.

I can show you two ceilings I did in Prospect Park South.

Thanks,

Rick

I looked into tin ceilings a little while back and this website was a great resource:

They have how-to videos for DIY homeowners as well as a ridiculous number of patterns and finishes in tin tiles. It seems like installing them is fairly straightforward, your contractors may just be intimidated because they haven't done it before.
