If your ceiling was textured before the mid-1980s, Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before any sanding or removal disturbs the material. We coordinate asbestos testing at cost, typically $300–$500, with no markup. Removal isn't legally mandated once material is confirmed safe to handle, but testing first is the law.
