Most popcorn ceiling removal in Kitchener-Waaterloo runs $4.50 per square foot all-inclusive for unpainted ceilings, covering removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint. If your ceiling was previously painted, pricing is $6.50/sqft for latex paint or $7.50/sqft for oil-based paint, since extra prep is needed for a smooth finish. For a main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (roughly 400-600 sqft), expect $2,000-$4,500. A full 3-bedroom home with 900-1,500 sqft of ceiling typically runs $4,050-export const FAQ_ANSWERS: FAQAnswer[] = [1,250. If you want a smooth ceiling without removing the texture, skim coating over existing texture costs $8.50/sqft, more than full removal, since it takes extra layers to hide the pattern underneath. Homes built before the mid-1980s may have asbestos mixed into the texture. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, and we coordinate that testing at cost ($300-$500, no markup).
