Do Milton homes have asbestos in popcorn ceilings?
Yes, many Milton homes can have asbestos in their popcorn ceilings — chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, so any home built or with ceilings textured before the mid-1980s should be treated as suspect until tested.
- Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, but removal itself is not legally mandated and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings.
- We coordinate asbestos testing at cost, $300–$500, with no markup.
- If testing comes back clear, removal runs $4.50/sqft all-inclusive for unpainted texture, $6.50/sqft for latex-painted, or $7.50/sqft for oil-base painted — each covering removal, 2 skim coats, primer, and 2 coats of paint.
