How much to remove a popcorn ceiling in Ontario?
Removing a popcorn ceiling in Ontario typically costs $2,000–$4,500 for an average 3-bedroom home, based on our all-inclusive per-square-foot pricing. We charge $4.50/sqft for unpainted popcorn ceilings, $6.50/sqft for latex-painted ceilings, and $7.50/sqft for oil-base painted ceilings — each price covers removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint, with no hidden fees.
If your home was built before the mid-1980s, the texture may contain chrysotile asbestos, which was commonly used in ceiling products through the 1970s and into that period. Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, testing is required before disturbing suspect material, though removal itself isn't mandated by law and the Ontario Building Code doesn't regulate popcorn ceilings. We coordinate third-party asbestos testing at cost, typically $300–$500, with no markup.
