However, the metal grid that holds the ceiling panels in place can become discolored, pitted and rusted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/paint-stained-ceiling\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/paint-stained-ceiling\/\" target=\"_blank\">restore the ceiling&#8217;s good looks with primer and paint<\/a> it&#8217;s a lot of work to remove all the tiles, sand the metal, then prime and paint and reinstall the tiles. We like the easier solution: conceal them with grid covers, made of high-grade PVC plastic that&#8217;s easy to cut and install. The pre-notched covers provide a seamless transition at the cross-tees where they intersect and where the grid meets the wall. GridMAX covers are designed for either 2-foot-by-2-foot or 2-foot-by-4-foot grid systems; they&#8217;re sold at home centers and may require special ordering. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/install-ceiling-tiles\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/install-ceiling-tiles\/\" target=\"_blank\">Replacing the tiles<\/a> can also be a costly venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Armstrong takes it a step further and makes a stylish grid cover system called StyleStix which are detailed architectural moldings that cover old and industrial-looking metal grids and create a <a href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/install-coffer-ceiling-system\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/install-coffer-ceiling-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coffered look to the ceiling.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A handyman will charge $264 to install the grid covers on 300 square feet of ceiling, which includes labor and material; but you can do the job for $165 and save 37 percent. It&#8217;s a quick fix project that you can do in a few hours and get almost instant results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the tiles are discolored, give them a facelift with paint. Remove the tiles from the ceiling grid, lay them on a flat surface and use a primer like Kilz, followed by a flat latex paint applied with a roller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more product information go to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/acpideas.com\/brands\/gridmax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GridMAX&nbsp;<\/a>and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongceilings.com\/residential\/en-us\/project-ideas-and-installation\/ceiling-grid-covers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">StyleStix.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average price to install grid covers noted above is cost data to compare a contractor\u2019s estimate with doing it yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The average price to Install Suspended Ceiling Grid Covers noted above is cost data to compare a contractor\u2019s estimate with doing it yourself.
