is popcorn ceiling removal messy, how much dust does it make
Yes, removal is messy work, but we contain it so your home stays clean. Scraping popcorn texture creates fine dust and debris, so we do not just start scraping.
- Sealed work area: we cover floors and furniture and seal doors, vents and openings with plastic.
- Wet method: we mist the ceiling first, which keeps most of the dust out of the air.
- Daily cleanup: debris is bagged and removed, and we leave the space tidy each day.
Before we touch anything, test for asbestos. Chrysotile asbestos was used in ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material. We coordinate testing at cost, $300 to $500, with no markup.
Our all-inclusive rate covers removal, 2 skim coats, primer and 2 coats of paint: $4.50/sqft unpainted, $6.50/sqft latex-painted, $7.50/sqft oil-base painted. A main floor, a few rooms or a condo (400 to 600 sqft) typically runs $2,000 to $4,500.
We are insured for $2M and WSIB covered. Call Eddie at (519) 729-7394. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
