Drywall and popcorn ceiling costs in Ontario are priced per square foot based on ceiling condition. At KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting, unpainted popcorn ceilings run $4.50/sqft all-inclusive (removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint). Latex-painted ceilings run $6.50/sqft, and oil-base painted ceilings run $7.50/sqft, since oil-based paint needs extra prep to bond the new skim coat. Skim coating alone (no removal) is $2.50/sqft for skim only or $3.50/sqft full service, and skim coating applied over existing texture without removal is $8.50/sqft because working around the texture takes more labor.

• Main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400 to 600 sqft): $2,000 to $4,500
• A full home (900 to 1,500 sqft of ceiling): $4,050 to export const FAQ_ANSWERS: FAQAnswer[] = [1,250

If your home was built before the mid-1980s, chrysotile asbestos may have been mixed into the original texture. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before any disturbance of suspect material, though removal itself is not mandated by law and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings. We coordinate asbestos testing at cost, typically $300 to $500, with no markup. Call us at (519) 729-7394 for a free, accurate quote based on your ceiling's exact size and condition.
