Mississauga went from 100,000 people to over half a million between 1970 and 1990 — the exact window when sprayed textured ceilings were standard in Ontario. If your home predates 1990 there is a strong chance the stipple is original. We remove it, skim to a Level 5 finish, prime and paint, and leave the house cleaner than we found it.

Housing Context
What makes Mississauga different
Mississauga's housing stock is dominated by the great suburban build-out of the 1960s through the 1980s, when Erin Mills, Meadowvale and Rathwood were laid out as planned communities and the former Toronto Township villages were absorbed into a single city in 1974. That period is the peak of sprayed-texture ceiling application in Ontario — the finish was fast, cheap, hid drywall seams, and was specified as standard in most tract housing of the era.
The result is that Mississauga has one of the densest concentrations of original popcorn ceiling in the GTA, and it is spread across almost every neighbourhood rather than confined to one older core. Port Credit and Streetsville carry an older village stock going back to the nineteenth century; Lorne Park and Mineola hold large mature lots from the 1950s and 1960s; Erin Mills, Meadowvale and Churchill Meadows are the classic 1970s-through-1990s subdivisions.
Any Mississauga home built before 1980 should be tested for asbestos before ceiling texture is disturbed. We arrange Ontario-accredited testing and bill it at cost with no markup — typically $300 to $500 depending on the number of samples.

Why Remove
3 reasons Mississauga homeowners remove their ceilings
Aging Housing Stock
Textured ceilings date a Mississauga home more than any other single surface. Buyers walking a Port Credit or Erin Mills listing read stipple as "this house has not been updated", and it costs far less to fix than the kitchen or bathroom people assume needs doing.
Asbestos Risk
Ontario homes built before 1980 can contain asbestos in the ceiling texture. Given how much of Mississauga was built in the 1960s and 1970s, testing is not optional caution here — it is the normal first step. Removal of asbestos-containing material is regulated work under O. Reg. 278/05 and must not be done dry, by hand, or by a general renovator.
Market Timing
Mississauga turns over quickly and buyers compare a lot of similar-vintage houses in a short window. Smooth ceilings are one of the cheapest ways to look renovated against an identical floorplan three streets over.

Yes. Ontario homes built before 1980 can contain asbestos in the ceiling texture, and 1978 is inside that window. Testing is straightforward: an accredited Ontario lab analyses a small sample, results come back in a few days, and we bill the cost through with no markup — usually $300 to $500 depending on how many samples the layout needs.
A typical 900 to 1,400 square foot main floor is two to three days from setup to final paint. Single rooms are usually one to two days. Anyone promising a whole house in a single day is skipping the skim coating or the drying time, and it shows in the finished ceiling.
