Removal is almost always cheaper than covering it—and it's the better choice for Ontario homes. Here's why:

Covering popcorn with drywall or drop ceilings adds material and labour costs that often exceed removal. With KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting, we deliver a complete transformation for $4.50/sqft on unpainted ceilings (removal + 2 skim coats + primer + 2 coats paint). A typical 3-bedroom home runs $2,000–$4,500—that includes everything, no hidden fees.

• Painted popcorn costs more: $6.50/sqft (latex) or $7.50/sqft (oil-base)
• Asbestos testing: $300–$500 (we test first if needed—Ontario requires it)
• Removal eliminates future problems: No sagging, mould risk, or maintenance headaches

Covering leaves you trapped with that texture underneath. Removal gives you a fresh, modern finish that increases home value and appeal. We've completed 500+ homes since 2019 with full insurance ($2M) and WSIB coverage.
