The cheapest way to remove a popcorn ceiling is professional removal priced per square foot, since DIY attempts often end up costing more once you factor in tool rentals, dust containment, disposal fees, and repairing gouges from scraping. At KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting, we've completed 500+ homes since 2019 and price all-inclusive by square footage:

• Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats of paint)
• Latex-painted ceiling: $6.50/sqft
• Oil-base painted ceiling: $7.50/sqft

A typical 3-bedroom home runs $2,000–$4,500 total. Before removal, homes built before the mid-1980s should be tested for asbestos, since chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material, though the Ontario Building Code does not mandate removal itself. We coordinate asbestos testing at cost, $300–$500, with no markup added. Call (519) 729-7394 for a free, accurate quote based on your ceiling's actual condition.
