How do you cut out a tray ceiling into an existing drywall ceiling?
The 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.
