Removing an asbestos-containing popcorn ceiling in Ontario starts with a $300–$500 lab test, and if the test is clean, our all-inclusive removal runs $4.50–$7.50 per square foot. Chrysotile asbestos was mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, so homes built before the mid-1980s should be tested.

• Asbestos testing: $300–$500. We coordinate it at cost, with no markup.
• Unpainted ceiling: $4.50/sqft, including removal, 2 skim coats, primer and 2 coats of paint.
• Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft.
• Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft.
• Main floor, a few rooms or a condo (400–600 sqft): $2,000–$4,500.
• Full 3-bedroom home (900–1,500 sqft of ceiling): $4,050–$11,250.

Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, testing is required before disturbing suspect material. Removal itself is not required by law, and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings. If asbestos is found, we coordinate the testing, but we do not perform licensed abatement ourselves. Skim coating over the texture without removal costs more, at $8.50/sqft. We are insured for $2M and WSIB covered. Call Eddie at (519) 729-7394 for a quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Cambridge service area · Google Reviews
