Is it hard to remove a stucco ceiling?
Stucco ceiling removal isn't difficult—it's messy and labour-intensive. The process involves spraying the ceiling with water, scraping off the texture, and dealing with dust and debris throughout your home. In Ontario, asbestos testing is mandatory before removal ($300–$500 at cost), as older popcorn ceilings often contain it. If asbestos is present, specialized containment and disposal are required, adding complexity and cost.
At KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting, we've completed 500+ homes since 2019 with full WSIB coverage and $2M insurance. We handle everything—testing, removal, and finishing. For a typical 3-bedroom home, expect $2,000–$4,500 depending on paint type:
- Unpainted popcorn: $4.50/sqft (removal + 2 skim coats + primer + 2 coats paint)
- Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
- Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive
