How much does it cost to flatten a textured ceiling?

Ceiling flattening costs depend on your ceiling's current condition and typically ranges from $2,000–$4,500 for a standard 3-bedroom home in Kitchener-Waterloo.

Here's our transparent all-inclusive pricing:

  • Unpainted popcorn: $4.50/sqft (removal + 2 skim coats + primer + 2 coats paint)
  • Latex-painted popcorn: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Oil-base painted popcorn: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Asbestos testing: $300–$500 (at cost, no markup)

In Ontario, homes built before 1980 may contain asbestos in popcorn ceilings. We recommend testing before removal to ensure safe, compliant handling. Once we assess your specific ceiling type and square footage, we'll provide an exact quote with no hidden fees.
