If you're picturing snack popcorn, you're in the wrong place — we handle popcorn ceilings, not popcorn in a bowl. The real "secret" to a properly finished popcorn ceiling is knowing what's under that texture before anyone touches it. Ceilings sprayed before the mid-1980s often contain chrysotile asbestos, and Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing before disturbing suspect material. We coordinate that testing at cost, no markup.

• Asbestos testing: $300–$500
• Unpainted popcorn ceiling: $4.50/sqft all-inclusive (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats paint)
• Latex-painted popcorn ceiling: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
• Oil-based painted popcorn ceiling: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive

Removal itself isn't legally mandated, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings — most homeowners choose to remove it for resale value, cleaner air, and a modern flat-ceiling finish. Every job includes a smooth skim-coated result, not just a scrape-and-paint patch job. Call us at (519) 729-7394 for a free quote. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Kitchener service area · Google Reviews
