Stretch and suspended ceilings — installation, lighting, repair
A stretch ceiling with a shadow gap in a new build, a suspended drywall or drop-tile ceiling in an office — or a membrane sagging after a flood from upstairs. Pick an installer by work photos, prices and client reviews and send them a request — or describe the job in an order and compare responses.
Stretch and suspended ceiling installers
How much a stretch ceiling costs
What affects the price
Membrane and finish
A fabric membrane usually costs more than PVC film, and a matte, satin or gloss finish, a color or a print also change the price per square meter.
Perimeter profile
A shadow-gap or floating profile with lighting is often charged separately per meter of perimeter, so a long narrow room takes more profile than its area suggests.
Lights and cut-arounds
Mounts for recessed lights, a chandelier or a track system, going around heating pipes and every extra corner in an odd-shaped room are usually priced per piece.
Levels and niches
A two-level drywall ceiling, a niche with a hidden curtain track or a cove for an LED strip take more framing and time than a flat plane.
Removing the old ceiling
An old suspended ceiling or tiles coming away from the base are taken down first, and removal and hauling the debris are often paid for separately.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a stretch ceiling installer
- 1
Measuring and the breakdown
The exact price is usually given after measuring. Ask for a breakdown showing the membrane area, meters of profile and each light mount, and check whether measuring is paid.
- 2
Lighting before installation
Plan the lights before the membrane goes up: mounts and wiring go in beforehand. Ask who will run the cable — the installer or an electrician.
- 3
The membrane for your room
A PVC membrane is stretched with a heat gun and usually holds water after a leak; fabric goes up without heating but will not hold water. Ask which one the installer recommends.
- 4
Where the seam goes
If the room is wider than the roll, there will be a seam or a dividing profile. Ask where it will run, and check the portfolio for how the installer handles seams and wall joints.
- 5
Warranty and draining water
Ask what warranty the installer gives on the membrane and the installation, and whether they will come to drain water if the neighbors upstairs flood you.
What to put in the order
Which ceiling you need: stretch, drywall, drop-tile, open-cell or slat
Which rooms, and the approximate area and ceiling height of each
Membrane and profile, if already chosen: matte or gloss, shadow gap, lighting
Which lights and how many: recessed, chandelier, track, light lines
What is on the ceiling now: concrete, old whitewash, tiles or a suspended ceiling to remove
What stage the renovation is at, and whether there is furniture in the rooms
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
