The answer depends on the type of tile. To cut acoustical tile, use a ruler or steel tape and a utility knife to mark your cut, the go back and forth down the cut line going deeper each time. Finish the cut off by turning the tile over and starting at the top edge, go down the back side once.

∙ 15y agoThe existing ceiling would have to have a framed roof above it, not roof trusses or second floor joists. The ceiling joists would have to be temporarily supported and walls may have to be temporarily braced from lateral movement. Ceiling joists would then need to be cut and headered off with properly sized headers with the ends properly supported with appropriate weight transfer methods. New ceiling joists would then be added above the raised area. Not a job for a do-it-your-selfer usually.
