Smoothing ceilings in Kitchener-Waterloo typically costs $4.50–$7.50 per square foot, all-inclusive. Pricing depends on what is on your ceiling:

• Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft (removal, 2 skim coats, primer and 2 coats of paint)
• Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft
• Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft
• Skim coat only: $2.50/sqft, or $3.50/sqft full service
• Skim coat over existing texture (no removal): $8.50/sqft. This costs more than removal, so it is not a cheaper shortcut.

A main floor, a few rooms or a condo (400–600 sqft) usually runs $2,000–$4,500. A full home with 900–1,500 sqft of ceiling typically runs $4,050–$11,250.

Asbestos: Chrysotile asbestos was used in ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, so homes built before the mid-1980s should be tested. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before suspect material is disturbed. Removal itself is not required by law, and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings. We coordinate testing at cost ($300–$500, no markup).
