Textured ceiling removal in Kitchener-Waterloo runs $4.50 per square foot all-inclusive for an unpainted popcorn ceiling, covering removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint. If the ceiling was painted afterward, cost rises because the paint seals the texture and slows removal: $6.50/sqft for latex-painted ceilings and $7.50/sqft for oil-based painted ceilings.

• A few rooms, a main floor, or a condo (400-600 sqft) typically runs $2,000 to $4,500.
• A full 3-bedroom home (900-1,500 sqft of ceiling) generally lands between $4,050 and $11,250.
• Skim coat only, no removal needed: $2.50/sqft; full-service skim coat: $3.50/sqft.

If your home was built before the mid-1980s, we recommend testing first. Chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself isn't mandated by the Building Code. We coordinate third-party asbestos testing at cost, $300 to $500, with no markup.
