popcorn ceiling removal company kitchener waterloo
Yes. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting is Kitchener-Waterloo's top-rated popcorn ceiling specialist, having completed over 500 projects across Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge since 2019. I'm Eddie, the owner, and every job is backed by $2M liability insurance and WSIB coverage.
Our 2026 all-inclusive rates (removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint) are:
- Unpainted ceiling: $4.50/sqft
- Latex-painted ceiling: $6.50/sqft
- Oil-base painted ceiling: $7.50/sqft
A main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400 to 600 sqft) usually falls between $2,000 and $4,500. A larger project spanning 900 to 1,500 sqft of ceiling typically runs $4,050 to $11,250. Skim coat only starts at $2.50/sqft, while skim coating over existing texture without removal costs more at $8.50/sqft.
Many Waterloo Region homes built before the mid-1980s have chrysotile asbestos mixed into their ceiling 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 third-party asbestos testing at cost, typically $300 to $500 with no markup, for older KW homes before any work begins. (519) 729-7394 · KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
