Is it worth it to remove textured ceilings?

Yes, removing textured ceilings is absolutely worth it. Most Ontario homeowners see increased property value, better aesthetics, and easier maintenance. Popcorn ceilings, popular in the 1980s-2000s, trap dust and can contain asbestos (common in pre-1990 homes). We've helped 500+ families across Kitchener-Waterloo make this upgrade since 2019.

Our all-inclusive pricing:

  • Unpainted popcorn: $4.50/sqft (removal + 2 skim coats + primer + 2 paint coats)
  • Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft
  • Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft
  • Typical 3-bedroom home: $2,000–$4,500

Ontario requires asbestos testing for pre-1990 homes (we offer testing at cost, $300–$500, with no markup). This ensures safe, compliant removal. Modern smooth ceilings look fresher, are easier to paint over, and significantly boost resale appeal. Your investment typically returns 50–80% at sale.
