If your home was built before the mid-1980s, chrysotile asbestos may have been mixed into the ceiling texture, so we recommend testing ($300-$500, coordinated at cost with no markup) before any work begins. This lines up with Ontario Regulation 278/05, which requires testing before disturbing suspect material — though removal itself isn't mandated by law, and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings.
