Ceiling Types & Services
Tray ceilings – Clean, recessed lines that add contemporary depth and upscale ambiance

Integration with ventilation, HVAC, and lighting design to ensure energy efficiency and comfort
Tray and cathedral ceilings not only enhance spatial perception, but also introduce a refined atmosphere to any room.
Executing a cathedral ceiling typically requires demolition, reframing, installation of new baffles, and the addition of a ridge vent on the roof to allow proper airflow. These modifications demand exceptional precision and a deep understanding of load-bearing dynamics to ensure a finished product that looks as flawless as the room it defines.
At MJG Contracting Corp., we’re experts in this type of specialty construction. Our team understands the structural intricacies and finishing details required to deliver beautiful, long-lasting results. If you're considering adding a tray or cathedral ceiling to your home, we invite you to consult with us for expert guidance and quality execution.
