How long does ceiling removal take for a Lynden home?

Most Lynden ceiling removal projects take 2 to 4 days from start to finish, depending on square footage and whether the popcorn texture is painted. For a main floor or a few rooms (400-600 sqft), plan on about 2 days; a full 3-bedroom home usually takes 3 to 4 days for removal, two skim coats, priming, and two coats of paint.

Before we start, we recommend testing for asbestos if your Lynden home was built before the mid-1980s, since chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture until then. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself isn't mandated by law. We coordinate third-party testing at cost ($300-$500), with results typically back in 1-2 business days, before scheduling your job.
