Expect to pay about $4.50 per square foot for an unpainted popcorn ceiling in Ontario, and $6.50 to $7.50 per square foot if it has been painted. At KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting, those rates are all-inclusive: removal, two skim coats, primer and two coats of paint.

• Unpainted: $4.50/sqft
• Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft
• Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft

A main floor, a few rooms or a condo (400 to 600 sqft) typically runs $2,000 to $4,500. A full 3-bedroom home with 900 to 1,500 sqft of ceiling runs $4,050 to $11,250, depending on the ceiling type.

If your home was built before the mid-1980s, test for asbestos first. 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 to $500, with no markup.

Skim coating over existing texture without removal costs $8.50/sqft, which is more than removal. We have done 500+ homes since 2019, and we are fully insured ($2M) and WSIB covered. Call Eddie at (519) 729-7394 for a free quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Kitchener service area · Google Reviews
