What's the average price to remove a popcorn ceiling?

In Kitchener-Waterloo, the average cost to remove a popcorn ceiling is $2,000–$4,500 for a typical 3-bedroom home, depending on the ceiling's condition and paint type.

Here's our transparent pricing breakdown:

  • Unpainted popcorn: $4.50/sqft (removal + 2 skim coats + primer + 2 coats paint)
  • Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive

Ontario homeowners should know that asbestos testing costs $300–$500 (at cost, no markup). Popcorn ceilings installed before 1990 may contain asbestos—we always test before removal to ensure safe handling and compliance with provincial regulations.

Since 2019, we've completed 500+ homes across the region with full $2M insurance and WSIB coverage. Our all-inclusive pricing means no hidden fees—you get professional removal and a beautiful finished ceiling ready to enjoy.
