A full popcorn ceiling removal for a typical Millgrove home takes 2 to 4 days from start to finish, depending on square footage, ceiling condition, and whether asbestos testing is required first.

• Day 1: Prep and containment (floor/wall protection, furniture removal), plus asbestos test results confirmed if not already cleared
• Day 1-2: Popcorn texture removal and scraping
• Day 2-3: Two skim coats applied and sanded smooth
• Day 3-4: Primer and two coats of paint, plus final cleanup

Since chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture before the mid-1980s, homes built in that window need testing first under Ontario Regulation 278/05, which requires testing before disturbing suspect material (removal itself isn't mandated by law). We coordinate that testing at cost, $300 to $500, which can add a day or two to the timeline while results come back.

Pricing is $4.50/sqft all-inclusive for unpainted popcorn ceilings, covering removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint. Call (519) 729-7394 for an exact timeline based on your home's size. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
