How do I put up tile on my ceiling?
Several ceilings in my manufactured home are peeling. Can I just scape it and replace it with a tile ceiling?

You should first determine why your paint is peeling. Is the house so air tight that accumulated moisture is causing the problem? Or, is your roof leaking and the peeling is caused by moisture accumulating in the drywall under the paint? Whatever the cause, it needs attending to, because putting up ceiling tile on a damp ceiling is just a temporary hide. Eventually the moisture will either cause the tile to fall, or it will develop black mold and have to be removed.

Sharon, It depends if you have a drop ceiling. You can replace it. I'd do the entire ceiling so it's uniform. Aloha!
Hi Sharon, you should first check for leaks, then if none are found, consider painting rather than tiling, it will be easier
