How much does it cost to remove a stucco ceiling?

Removing a stucco (popcorn-style) ceiling in Kitchener-Waterloo runs $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot, all-inclusive of removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint.

  • Unpainted textured ceiling: $4.50/sqft
  • Latex-painted ceiling: $6.50/sqft
  • Oil-based painted ceiling: $7.50/sqft (extra prep required)

A few rooms or a condo, roughly 400 to 600 sqft, typically lands between $2,000 and $4,500. Larger homes scale up from there based on total ceiling square footage and paint type.

Homes built before the mid-1980s may contain chrysotile asbestos in the texture. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself is not legally mandated and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings. We coordinate third-party asbestos testing at cost, $300 to $500, with no markup.
