What does popcorn ceiling removal include in Cambridge?
Popcorn ceiling removal in Cambridge includes scraping off the textured coating, two skim coats to smooth the drywall, primer, and two coats of paint — all done for one all-inclusive price with no hidden add-ons. Unpainted popcorn ceilings run $4.50/sqft, latex-painted ceilings are $6.50/sqft, and oil-base painted ceilings are $7.50/sqft. A typical main-floor or condo job (400–600 sqft) in Cambridge costs $2,000–$4,500 total.
Because chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture before the mid-1980s, we recommend testing first on any home built before then. Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, testing is required before disturbing suspect material — removal itself isn't mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings. We coordinate asbestos testing at cost ($300–$500, no markup); we don't perform licensed abatement ourselves.
