Popcorn ceiling removal in Ontario costs $4.50 per square foot for unpainted ceilings, $6.50 per square foot for latex-painted popcorn, and $7.50 per square foot for oil-based painted popcorn, all-inclusive of removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint. A main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400-600 sqft) typically runs $2,000-$4,500. A full 3-bedroom home usually has 900-1,500 sqft of ceiling, which lands between $4,050 and $11,250 at our all-inclusive rate. If you're considering a skim coat over existing texture instead of removal, budget $8.50 per square foot, more expensive than removal since bridging texture takes extra prep.

• Skim coat only, no paint: $2.50/sqft
• Skim coat full service: $3.50/sqft
• Asbestos testing: $300-$500, billed at cost with no markup

Ceiling texture applied before the mid-1980s may contain chrysotile asbestos. We coordinate lab testing before any work begins. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing suspect material before it's disturbed, but removal itself isn't mandated by law and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings.
