popcorn ceiling removal reviews kitchener
Yes. Professionally removed popcorn ceilings consistently earn top ratings across Kitchener-Waterloo, and after 500+ homes since 2019, we've held a 5-star track record built on clean job sites, on-schedule finishes, and no hidden fees. Scraping is inherently messy, so every crew seals off work zones, covers furniture and flooring, and hauls away all debris before leaving.
- Unpainted ceilings: $4.50/sqft all-inclusive (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 finish coats)
- Latex-painted ceilings: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
- Oil-base painted ceilings: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive
- Skim coat only: $2.50/sqft; full-service skim coat: $3.50/sqft
- Skim coating over existing texture without removal: $8.50/sqft, more than full removal
A condo or a few rooms (400-600 sqft) typically runs $2,000 to $4,500. A full 3-bedroom home (900-1,500 sqft of ceiling) lands between $4,050 and $11,250. Many Kitchener-Waterloo homes built before the mid-1980s used texture containing chrysotile asbestos, and Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material; we coordinate that testing at cost ($300-$500, no markup) rather than perform abatement ourselves. Removal isn't legally required, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings, but skim-coating and sanding are the only way to get a flat, modern finish DIY sprays can't replicate. We're $2M insured and WSIB covered on every job. (519) 729-7394 · KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Kitchener service area · Google Reviews
