For most Kitchener-Waterloo homes, removing a popcorn ceiling is the better long-term choice, though keeping it can be reasonable if you're not planning to sell or renovate soon.

• Popcorn ceilings collect dust, yellow over time, and are a red flag for buyers, often lowering perceived home value.
• Homes built before the mid-1980s may have chrysotile asbestos mixed into the texture. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself isn't legally mandated and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings.
• We coordinate asbestos testing at cost, $300 to $500, with no markup.
• If it tests clear, removal runs $4.50 per sq ft for unpainted ceilings (all-inclusive: removal, two skim coats, primer, two coats of paint), $6.50 for latex-painted ceilings, and $7.50 for oil-based painted ceilings.

We've completed over 500 removals since 2019, fully insured for $2M with WSIB coverage. Call (519) 729-7394 for a free quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Kitchener service area · Google Reviews
