Yes, removing popcorn ceiling usually increases home value in Ontario, mainly by helping the home sell faster and for a better price. Buyers see textured ceilings as dated, and a smooth, freshly painted ceiling makes rooms look brighter, larger and move-in ready. Exact appraisal gains vary, but removal is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic upgrades before listing.

Our all-inclusive pricing covers removal, 2 skim coats, primer and 2 coats of paint:

• Unpainted popcorn: $4.50/sqft
• Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft
• Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft

A main floor, a few rooms or a condo (400-600 sqft) runs $2,000-$4,500. A full home with 900-1,500 sqft of ceiling runs $4,050-$11,250.

Asbestos check first: Homes built before the mid-1980s may have asbestos in the texture. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material. Removal itself is not required by law, and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings. We coordinate testing at cost ($300-$500, no markup).

We have finished 500+ homes since 2019, fully insured ($2M) and WSIB covered. Call Eddie at (519) 729-7394 for a free quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Kitchener service area · Google Reviews
