Most Kitchener-Waterloo area homes take 3 to 5 business days from start to finish for full popcorn ceiling removal, 2 skim coats, priming, and 2 coats of paint, depending on square footage.

• Asbestos testing: if your ceiling texture was applied before the mid-1980s, we coordinate lab testing first under Ontario Regulation 278/05, adding 1-3 business days before removal starts ($300-$500 at cost, no markup)
• Removal and skim coating: 1-2 days, since two skim coats each need drying time between applications
• Priming and painting: 1-2 days for 2 finish coats
• Larger homes with more total ceiling area: can stretch closer to a full week

Pricing is all-inclusive at $4.50/sqft for unpainted popcorn ceilings, $6.50/sqft if the ceiling is latex-painted, and $7.50/sqft for oil-base painted ceilings, covering removal, skim coats, primer, and paint in one price. We protect floors, furniture, and vents so the home stays livable throughout. Call (519) 729-7394 for a walkthrough and a firm start-to-finish timeline for your home.
