Yes, it's possible — Dynes is one of the older Kitchener neighbourhoods where many homes were built before the mid-1980s, when chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into popcorn ceiling texture. It's not a certainty in every home, but the age of construction puts a large share of Dynes properties in the risk window.

Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, testing is required before disturbing suspect material — the Ontario Building Code itself doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings, and removal isn't legally mandated, but you can't safely proceed without knowing what you're dealing with.

We coordinate lab testing at cost, $300–$500, with no markup. If the ceiling tests clear, removal runs $4.50/sqft all-inclusive for unpainted texture (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats of paint), $6.50/sqft if it's been painted with latex, or $7.50/sqft for oil-based paint.

We've handled 500+ homes across Kitchener-Waterloo since 2019, fully insured to $2M and WSIB covered. Call (519) 729-7394 to book testing or a quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
