Is it a good idea to remove a popcorn ceiling?
Yes, removing popcorn ceilings is an excellent idea for most homeowners. Popcorn ceilings trap dust, are difficult to clean, and can hide water damage. They also date your home and reduce resale appeal.
Ontario Considerations: If your home was built before 1990, asbestos testing is essential. We offer testing for $300–$500 at cost—no markup. Asbestos-containing popcorn requires certified removal.
