Takes the heat load off the new ceiling and keeps the garage cooler.
Sagging, cracked or pulling away? We replace garage ceilings across Adelaide for a fixed price, in two days, with up to a 20‑year workmanship warranty.

If the lowest price is what matters most, we’re probably not for you. Quality costs a little more. But our prices are fair, and lower than the bigger companies charge, for a ceiling that’s built far better. You only pay for it once.
Garage ceilings take more punishment than any ceiling in the house. After years of heat, moisture and roller-door vibration, many are one strong gust of wind away from coming down.

Don’t let this be your garage ceiling.
Garage ceilings more than 10 to 15 years old often start to fail. Once these signs appear, the ceiling is already compromised and a patch repair won’t last. Most collapses we see have no insulation above them at all.
Real garage ceilings from our recent jobs, filmed as we took them down. This is what’s often hiding behind a sag or a crack.

“We hired ACR to repair two ceiling areas in our 1920s villa home. One was an internal hallway lath ceiling that had been damaged due to a roof leak and the other was our external alfesco ceiling.

“These guys were great. I highly recommend them. Very professional and polite. Then clean up after themselves and made no mess.”
“Our Bathroom Ceiling started to sag - house is 50 years plus old. I researched via Google for a company to replace our Bathroom Ceiling. I found "Adelaide Ceilings Replacements - ACR" in Daw Park, Adelaide S.A. The owner Sean explained clearly how they would replace our ceiling and offered to send a quote. The quote was sent by email very promptly and the price including all labour and parts was very good. I accepted the quote and on the 14th of July they arrived with 2 friendly and very skilled trades people & they covered all the floors etc, did an excellent job with the ceiling replacement and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. The next day the painter came and did a very good job painting the new ceiling and the walls above the tiles. My wife and I were very pleased to deal with such a professional company that laid out the whole process on a written quote and executed that job accordingly. I highly recommend ACR to anyone that needs a ceiling replaced for the perfect job they do and their fair price charged.”
“A friendly, professional team of blokes who did a great job. Highly recommended.”
“From the start to the very end Sean and his team, Darryl, Sol, Gary Michael and Alex arrived on time, communication was excellent throughout the job, friendly and professional, reliable, honest and efficient and completed the job on time and to a very high standard. Great attention to detail and respect of our property and cleaning up afterwards. Done a fantastic job and the quality of all their work exceeded our expectations and we are so happy with the finished result. So if you're looking for a great bunch of guys who do excellent work give Sean a call. We will definitely recommend them to others that are looking for high quality work at a reasonable price. Sensational job. Thanks again guys”
“I would highly recommend Sean and his team with any ceiling/cracks to walls etc repairs. We have an older home with rake ceilings and had to have ceilings repaired and/or replaced throughout the home. In particular we were really impressed with the outcome of our master bedroom which was a difficult ceiling to repair as it has many joints and angles and the end result is amazing. From the very beginning when first obtaining a quote to the end result it was seamless and Sean worked with us with regards to timelines. Also Alex, the painter he recommends and uses is excellent. Thank you Sean and team, the outcome is better than we could have expected.”

Garages and carports face heat, moisture and constant vibration that the rest of the house never sees. So we don’t fix them like a bedroom ceiling.

Takes the heat load off the new ceiling and keeps the garage cooler.

Most ceilings get minimal glue and screws. We glue and screw every sheet with 32 mm coarse-thread screws, or 25 mm fine-thread screws on steel framing.

Knauf Sheetrock One with back-blocked joints, so the ceiling doesn’t crack.

Steel angles around the edges stop the sheets sagging at the walls.

On Complete and Premium, the ceiling is primed and painted in exterior-grade paint for moisture protection.

Ageing garage ceilings can fail without warning. Our guide explains the warning signs, what a proper replacement involves and how to compare quotes, so you can replace early and avoid a collapse.
Our fixed prices, including GST, are: Essential $4,060 for a single (6 × 3 m) or $6,100 for a double (6 × 6 m); Complete $5,500 or $7,850; Premium $6,950 or $9,730. Larger garages are priced per extra m², and you get the exact figure in writing before we start.
Most garage ceilings take two days, including painting where it’s included. Your roller door is back on at the end of day one.
Complete and Premium include removing and refitting up to 2 roller doors on a single garage, or up to 3 on a double, or 1 panel-lift door.
Complete and Premium packages carry a 20-year workmanship warranty. Materials are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Only when they’re in the way. If there’s a good gap between the door and the ceiling, it stays up. If the door sits close to the ceiling, there isn’t room to fix the new ceiling above it properly, so we take it down and refit it the same day. Leaving it up just to save time means the ceiling above it isn’t done to building standards.
Larger garages are priced per extra m². We’ll give you the exact figure in writing.
