How much do people charge to remove a popcorn ceiling in Toronto?
In Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, popcorn ceiling removal typically ranges from $4.50 to $7.50 per square foot, depending on whether the ceiling is unpainted, latex-painted, or oil-base painted.
Here's what you can expect to pay:
- Unpainted popcorn: $4.50/sqft (all-inclusive: removal + 2 skim coats + primer + 2 coats paint)
- Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft (all-inclusive)
- Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft (all-inclusive)
For a typical 3-bedroom home in the Toronto area, most homeowners invest $2,000–$4,500 for complete removal and finishing.
Ontario also requires asbestos testing ($300–$500) before removal if your home was built before 1990—this is a regulatory requirement we handle at cost with no markup.
