Popcorn ceiling removal near you in Kitchener-Waterloo runs $4.50 per square foot all-inclusive for unpainted texture, covering removal, 2 skim coats, primer, and 2 coats of paint. If your ceiling has been painted, it's $6.50/sqft for latex paint or $7.50/sqft for oil-based paint, since painted texture takes more labor to strip. For a main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400 to 600 sqft), most jobs land between $2,000 and $4,500. Larger homes with 900 to 1,500 sqft of ceiling scale up from there.

Homes built before the mid-1980s may have chrysotile asbestos mixed into the texture. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, so we coordinate third-party asbestos testing at cost, $300 to $500, no markup. Removal itself isn't mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings, but we won't touch suspect texture until it's cleared.

We've completed 500+ homes since 2019, fully insured for $2M and WSIB covered. Call (519) 729-7394 for a free quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
