Do Preston homes have asbestos in their popcorn ceilings?

Some Preston homes may have asbestos in their popcorn ceiling texture, but not all — it depends on when the home was built. Chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, so if your Preston home was built before the mid-1980s, testing is the safest first step before any removal work begins.

  • Regulation: Ontario Regulation 278/05 governs how asbestos-containing material must be handled, and testing is required before disturbing suspect texture. Removal itself isn't mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings.
  • Testing: We coordinate asbestos testing at cost — $300–$500, no markup.
  • Removal pricing: $4.50/sqft for unpainted ceilings, $6.50/sqft for latex-painted, $7.50/sqft for oil-based — all-inclusive. A typical 3-bedroom home runs $2,000–$4,500.
