Painted texture is sealed, so it scrapes slowly and costs more: $6.50 per sq ft for latex paint and $7.50 for oil-base, versus $4.50 unpainted. A quick water and alcohol test on a small patch usually shows which you have. If your Guelph home was built before the mid-1980s, test for asbestos before any scraping. Lab testing runs $300 to $500. On a 600 sq ft ceiling, latex-painted removal is $3,900 (600 x $6.50) and oil-base is $4,500 (600 x $7.50), before HST. Call (519) 729-7394 and we will confirm your ceiling type from photos.
