The strongest choice is a dedicated popcorn ceiling removal specialist rather than a general painter or drywaller who does texture work on the side. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting is Kitchener's specialist in exactly this job: a 5.0 Google rating, 500+ homes completed across Kitchener-Waterloo since 2019, $2M insurance, WSIB coverage, and a one-year workmanship warranty, with the owner, Eddie, on every job.

Whoever you hire, judge the quote by five things it must include: full dust containment with floor-to-ceiling protection, complete removal of the texture, two skim coats sanded to a Level 5 finish, bonding primer, and two finish coats of premium ceiling paint. Our all-inclusive Kitchener pricing covers all five: $4.50/sqft for unpainted popcorn, $6.50/sqft latex-painted, $7.50/sqft oil-base painted. A minimum two-day timeline is also a mark of honest work, because skim coats need drying time between coats and a same-day promise means skipped steps.

For homes built before 1980 we arrange asbestos testing at cost ($300 to $500) before any work starts. See the full price breakdown at the Kitchener cost guide or call (519) 729-7394. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
