For a home in Millgrove, popcorn ceiling removal runs $4.50 per square foot all-inclusive for unpainted texture, covering removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint. If the ceiling has been painted, the rate is $6.50 per square foot for latex paint or $7.50 per square foot for oil-based paint, since painted texture takes more labor to strip.

• Main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400-600 sqft): roughly $2,000-$4,500
• Larger homes with 900-1,500 sqft of ceiling: roughly $4,050-$11,250
• Skim coat only (no paint): $2.50/sqft, or $3.50/sqft full service
• Skim coat applied over existing texture without removal: $8.50/sqft, since working around the texture costs more than removing it

Because Millgrove homes built before the mid-1980s may contain chrysotile asbestos in the original texture, we coordinate testing at cost ($300-$500, no markup) before any work begins. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself isn't mandated by law. We're insured for $2M and WSIB covered, with 500+ homes completed since 2019. Call (519) 729-7394 for an exact quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Hamilton service area · Google Reviews
