Yes, almost always. Wellesley Township has a high share of homes built before 1990 in and around St. Clements, Crosshill, and Hawkesville, and that's the exact window where asbestos-containing stipple was common. We take a ceiling sample on our first visit and send it to an accredited lab, with results typically back in 2 to 3 business days. If the sample comes back positive, we bring in a licensed abatement crew before any drywall or refinishing work starts, so the timeline is protected either way. We never skip this step on rural Wellesley properties. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Ontario asbestos guide · See our Google reviews
