The most budget-friendly way to cover a popcorn ceiling is our skim-coat-only service at $2.50 per square foot, which strips the texture and skim coats the ceiling smooth without primer or finish paint, so you can paint it yourself afterward.

• Skim coat only (labour, no paint): $2.50/sqft
• Skim coat full service (includes primer and 2 coats of paint): $3.50/sqft
• Unpainted popcorn removal, all-inclusive (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats paint): $4.50/sqft

For a set of rooms or a condo in the 400-600 sqft range, a budget project typically runs $2,000-$4,500 depending on scope. Larger areas scale up at the same per-square-foot rates.

Before any popcorn ceiling is disturbed, Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing if the material could contain asbestos. Chrysotile asbestos was commonly mixed into ceiling texture before the mid-1980s, so ceilings from that era should be tested first. We coordinate this testing at cost, $300-$500 with no markup; we do not perform licensed asbestos abatement ourselves. Removal itself isn't mandated by law and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings.
