        "text": "Minor spot repairs usually take a few hours, while standard commercial or residential room replacements typically take one to three business days. The schedule expands if your space has high ceilings requiring scaffolding, intricate room perimeters, or dense MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) infrastructure overhead. Coordinating with electrical trades to disconnect and remount recessed troffer lights can also affect turnaround. Contractors plan phases to isolate dusty teardowns so workspace downtime remains minimal throughout installation.",
