What is the cheapest way to remove a popcorn ceiling?

The cheapest way to remove a popcorn ceiling is to hire a specialist who prices it as one all-inclusive job instead of piecing out removal, repair, and paint separately. At KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting, an unpainted popcorn ceiling runs $4.50/sqft all-inclusive (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, and 2 coats of paint). If your ceiling was previously painted, it costs more to strip: $6.50/sqft for latex paint or $7.50/sqft for oil-base paint, since painted texture is harder to wet down and scrape. For a main floor, a few rooms, or a condo (400-600 sqft), expect $2,000-$4,500. A full 3-bedroom home (900-1,500 sqft of ceiling) typically runs $4,050-export const FAQ_ANSWERS: FAQAnswer[] = [1,250.

If your home was built before the mid-1980s, budget $300-$500 for asbestos testing, which we coordinate at cost with no markup. Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, testing is required before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself isn't legally mandated.
