Do Erin homes have asbestos in popcorn ceilings?
Yes, some homes in Erin built before the mid-1980s may have popcorn ceilings containing chrysotile asbestos, since it was commonly mixed into ceiling texture until then. The only way to know for certain is testing, not the age of the home alone.
Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, testing is required before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself is not mandated by law and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings. We coordinate asbestos testing at cost, typically $300 to $500, with no markup.
If your ceiling tests clear, our all-inclusive pricing is $4.50 per square foot for unpainted popcorn ceilings, $6.50 per square foot if latex-painted, and $7.50 per square foot if oil-based paint was used, covering removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint. A full 3-bedroom home typically runs $4,050 to export const FAQ_ANSWERS: FAQAnswer[] = [1,250 depending on ceiling square footage.
