how to clean up after popcorn ceiling removal

Popcorn ceiling removal creates fine dust and debris, and proper cleanup involves floor protection removal, HEPA vacuuming, and surface wipe-down before we leave your home spotless. At KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting, cleanup is built into every job, not billed separately.

  • Containment removal: We carefully remove plastic sheeting and floor protection installed before work began, folding debris inward to avoid spreading dust.
  • HEPA vacuuming: All floors, baseboards, window sills, and nearby surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed to capture fine particulate that regular vacuums recirculate into the air.
  • Damp wipe-down: Counters, fixtures, and furniture in the work area are wiped down to remove settled dust film.
  • Debris haul-away: All scraped texture, skim coat scraps, and packaging are bagged and hauled off-site.

If your ceiling texture was applied before the mid-1980s, we recommend testing for asbestos before disturbing it, since Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before any disturbance of suspect material. We coordinate that testing at cost ($300–$500, no markup). If asbestos is present, cleanup follows regulated containment protocols rather than standard dust control.

Every project includes 2 skim coats, primer, and 2 coats of paint at $4.50/sqft for unpainted popcorn ceilings. Call us at (519) 729-7394 for a free quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
