The ceiling is one of the largest visible surfaces in any commercial interior, and it plays a critical role in acoustics, lighting, air distribution, and overall aesthetics. Whether you're installing a standard suspended ceiling in a tenant space or designing a custom ceiling feature for a corporate lobby, the system you choose affects how the entire room looks, sounds, and functions.
Nardi Construction is based in Gurnee, Illinois, and provides commercial ceiling installation services throughout Chicagoland and the tristate area. We also support ceiling projects nationwide for clients who need experienced, reliable installation as part of a larger construction scope.
Our Commercial Ceiling Services
Suspended Ceilings & Drop Ceilings
Suspended ceiling systems are the most common ceiling type in commercial construction. We install T-bar grid systems with acoustical ceiling tiles for offices, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, and institutional buildings. Our crews handle layout, grid installation, tile placement, and coordination with lighting, HVAC, and fire suppression systems above the ceiling plane.
Acoustical Ceiling Tiles
Acoustical performance is essential in open offices, conference rooms, healthcare environments, and educational facilities. We install a full range of acoustical ceiling tiles including standard mineral fiber, high-NRC panels, moisture-resistant tiles for kitchens and restrooms, and cleanable tiles for healthcare and lab settings.
Exposed & Concealed Grid Systems
The grid system you choose affects both the look and the functionality of your ceiling. We install exposed grid (T-bar) systems for standard commercial applications and concealed grid systems for a cleaner, more seamless appearance. We also work with narrow-profile and specialty grid systems for design-forward spaces.
Specialty & Cloud Ceilings
For lobbies, conference rooms, and high-profile spaces, we design and install specialty ceiling features including cloud ceilings, floating panels, wood-look planks, metal panels, and custom soffits. These elements add visual interest and can define zones within open floor plans while maintaining acoustic performance.
Ceiling Repairs & Replacement
Water damage, aging tiles, sagging grid, and above-ceiling work can all leave a ceiling looking worn. We handle ceiling repairs, tile replacement, grid re-leveling, and full ceiling system replacement. Whether you need to patch a few damaged tiles or replace an entire floor's ceiling after a renovation, our crews restore the ceiling to a clean, professional standard.
