Possibly, yes, but only if the home was built before the mid-1980s. Chrysotile asbestos was mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, so older Centreville Chicopee homes in Kitchener with original textured ceilings are the ones to check. Newer builds are far less likely to be affected.

In Ontario, Regulation 278/05 governs asbestos-containing material, and testing is required before you disturb suspect material. Removal itself is not mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings. You can leave a sealed ceiling alone, but never scrape or sand it before it is tested.

• Testing: we coordinate asbestos testing at cost, $300-$500, with no markup. We do not perform licensed abatement ourselves.
• Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft all-inclusive.
• Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft.
• Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft.

A main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400-600 sqft) runs $2,000-$4,500. We are insured for $2M and WSIB covered, with 500+ homes done since 2019. Call Eddie at (519) 729-7394 to arrange testing. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Kitchener service area · Google Reviews
