You can remove acoustic (popcorn) tile or texture from a ceiling, but in Kitchener-Waterloo homes built before the mid-1980s, testing for asbestos should happen first, since chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s.

• Testing: Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material. We coordinate this testing at cost, $300 to $500, with no markup. Removal itself isn't mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings, but testing before disturbance is required.
• Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft all-inclusive, covering removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint.
• Latex-painted ceiling: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive.
• Oil-base painted ceiling: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive.

A main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400 to 600 sqft) typically runs $2,000 to $4,500. We've completed 500+ homes since 2019, are $2M insured, and WSIB covered. Call (519) 729-7394 for a free quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
