Yes, some homes in Hales Barton could have asbestos in their popcorn ceilings if the house was built before the mid-1980s, since chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s. Newer builds in the area are generally not a concern, but testing is the only way to know for certain.

• Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing 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, $300 to $500, with no markup.
• If asbestos is confirmed, we manage the project safely alongside your ceiling work.
• Unpainted popcorn ceiling removal runs $4.50 per square foot all-inclusive, covering removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint.
• Latex-painted ceilings run $6.50 per square foot, and oil-based painted ceilings run $7.50 per square foot, all-inclusive.
