No — we don't process food-grade popcorn into cornmeal; KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting is a Kitchener-Waterloo contractor, and "popcorn" here refers to the bumpy stipple ceiling texture common in Ontario homes built before the mid-1980s, not the snack food.

If you're dealing with an actual popcorn-textured ceiling, here's what matters:

• Chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, so any home from that era should be tested before the material is disturbed.
• Ontario Regulation 278/05 governs handling of asbestos-containing material — testing is required before disturbance, though removal itself isn't mandated by law and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings.
• We coordinate asbestos testing at cost, $300–$500, with no markup.
• Unpainted popcorn ceiling removal is $4.50/sqft all-inclusive (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats paint); latex-painted ceilings are $6.50/sqft; oil-base painted ceilings are $7.50/sqft.

We've completed 500+ Ontario homes since 2019, fully insured to $2M and WSIB covered. For a free quote on your ceiling, call (519) 729-7394. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Kitchener service area · Google Reviews
