Yes, we regularly remove popcorn ceilings in Cambridge century homes, including heritage properties in Preston, Hespeler, and Galt. Ceiling texture applied before the mid-1980s may contain chrysotile asbestos, so testing is essential before any work starts on an older home. We coordinate asbestos testing at cost ($300–$500, no markup) through a licensed lab — we do not perform asbestos abatement ourselves. Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, testing is required before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself isn't mandated by law and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings directly. Century homes often have original plaster ceilings that need extra care during removal, which our crews are experienced handling.

Pricing is all-inclusive (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats of paint):

• Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft
• Latex-painted ceiling: $6.50/sqft
• Oil-based painted ceiling: $7.50/sqft
• Typical 3-bedroom home: $2,000–$4,500
