For most Kitchener-Waterloo homes, removing a textured ceiling runs $2,000 to $4,500 for a main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400-600 sqft), based on our all-inclusive rate of $4.50 per square foot for unpainted popcorn ceilings. That price covers removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint, so there's no surprise add-ons. If your ceiling has already been painted, the rate rises to $6.50/sqft for latex paint or $7.50/sqft for oil-based paint, since painted texture is harder to remove. A full 3-bedroom home works out to roughly $4,050-export const FAQ_ANSWERS: FAQAnswer[] = [1,250 depending on total ceiling area. If you just want the texture smoothed over without removal, that's actually pricier at $8.50/sqft due to the extra prep work involved.

Before we start any job, we coordinate asbestos testing at cost ($300-$500, no markup), since chrysotile asbestos was commonly used in ceiling texture before the mid-1980s. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material. Call us at (519) 729-7394 for a free, accurate quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
