    Need to finish a basement ceiling what are my options
    Is there a drop ceiling that the tiles are easy to get out. The one that I have now is very difficult to get the tiles out.

    You seem to be referring to a suspended ceiling with the 2'x 4' accoustical tiles.
    It all depends on how the ceiling is framed. If it is framed a little too small, you will have this problem.
    You can carefully trim the tiles down so that bthey fit a little looser.
    It really isn't the type of ceiling that seems to be your problem.

    Hi Ben

    What framing are u talking about? The grid for suspended ceiling is a preset size and panels are made to fit. If there is not enough head room above grid will be hard getting tile out.
