How much does drywall repair cost per hour?

We don't price drywall or popcorn ceiling repair by the hour. Hourly billing leads to open-ended costs, so KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Painting quotes flat, all-inclusive rates per square foot instead.

  • Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats of paint)
  • Latex-painted ceiling: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Oil-base painted ceiling: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Skim coat only: $2.50/sqft, or $3.50/sqft for full service
  • Skim coat over existing texture (no removal): $8.50/sqft, since working around intact texture takes more labor than removing it

A main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400 to 600 sqft) typically runs $2,000 to $4,500.

A full 3-bedroom home (900 to 1,500 sqft of ceiling) typically runs $4,050 to $11,250.

If your home was built before the mid-1980s, we coordinate asbestos testing at cost ($300 to $500, no markup) before any work begins, as required under Ontario Regulation 278/05. Testing is mandatory before disturbing suspect material, but removal itself isn't mandated by law. Call (519) 729-7394 for an exact quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
