The bathroom is the room where a popcorn ceiling causes the most practical problems. Daily steam and humidity break down spray-applied texture — the rough surface traps moisture, provides an ideal surface for mould, and cannot be cleaned without destroying the texture itself. Waterloo homeowners in Westmount, Uptown, Lincoln Heights, and Beechwood frequently find that bathroom popcorn ceilings show water staining, yellowing, and mould growth that no cleaning product can address.

Removing the bathroom popcorn ceiling replaces this surface with a smooth, washable ceiling. Bathroom removal in Waterloo requires careful work around plumbing fixtures, lighting, and exhaust fans — we mask all tile surrounds, vanity surfaces, and fixtures before beginning. Most Waterloo bathroom ceilings are 40 to 80 square feet. After scraping, two skim coats of joint compound, moisture-resistant bonding primer, and two coats of Sherwin-Williams mould-inhibiting ceiling paint complete the job.

Pricing: $4.50 per square foot for unpainted, $6.50 per square foot for latex-painted, $7.50 per square foot for oil-base painted. Most Waterloo bathroom projects fall between $200 and $500 all-in. Call (519) 729-7394.
