How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in Cambridge?

Most popcorn ceiling removal jobs in Cambridge take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the home, ceiling condition, and whether asbestos testing is required before work begins.

  • Testing (if needed): Chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture before the mid-1980s. For Cambridge homes built before that cutoff, we coordinate testing ($300–$500, at cost) before disturbing any material, as required under Ontario Regulation 278/05. Removal itself isn't mandated by law, but testing suspect material is.
  • Removal & skim coat: A typical 3-bedroom home with unpainted popcorn ($4.50/sqft all-inclusive) takes about 2 days for removal, two skim coats, and priming.
  • Painted ceilings: Latex-painted ($6.50/sqft) or oil-based painted ($7.50/sqft) ceilings add prep time for scraping and sealing.
  • Finish painting: Two coats of paint are applied on the final day, included in the price.

Most 3-bedroom Cambridge homes total $2,000–$4,500. Call (519) 729-7394 for an exact timeline and quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Cambridge service area · Google Reviews
