How much does it cost to have an asbestos sample tested?

Asbestos testing for a popcorn ceiling sample typically costs $300 to $500, and at KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting we coordinate this testing at cost with no markup added.

  • Chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture up until the mid-1980s, so any home built or textured before then should be tested before disturbance.
  • Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, suspect material must be tested before it is disturbed if there is reason to believe it may contain asbestos.
  • Removal itself is not mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings directly, but testing first protects your household and keeps the project compliant.
  • We coordinate sampling and lab testing for you. We are not a licensed asbestos abatement contractor, so if a sample comes back positive, that work is handled by a qualified specialist before we proceed with any skim coating or painting.
