How much does it cost to remove 1000 sq ft of popcorn ceiling?

Removing 1,000 sq ft of popcorn ceiling in Kitchener-Waterloo typically costs $4,500 to $7,500, depending on whether the ceiling is painted. Our all-inclusive pricing is: $4.50/sqft for unpainted popcorn ceiling (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, and 2 coats of paint), $6.50/sqft for latex-painted popcorn, and $7.50/sqft for oil-base painted popcorn. There are no hidden fees — the quote covers everything start to finish.

If your home was built before the mid-1980s, the texture may contain chrysotile asbestos, which was commonly mixed into ceiling coatings until then. Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, suspect material must be tested before it's disturbed. Removal itself isn't legally mandated, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings — but testing protects your family and your contractor. We coordinate third-party asbestos testing at cost, $300–$500, no markup.
