Is stucco ceiling asbestos?

Not all stucco ceilings contain asbestos, but many installed before the 1980s do. In Ontario, popcorn and textured ceilings applied before 1990 have a high likelihood of containing asbestos. The only way to know for certain is through professional testing.

At KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Painting, we offer asbestos testing for $300–$500 (at cost, no markup). If asbestos is present, it must be handled by licensed professionals—we're fully equipped to safely remove and replace it with smooth, painted drywall.

  • Unpainted popcorn: $4.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft all-inclusive
  • Typical 3-bedroom home: $2,000–$4,500

All work includes removal, 2 skim coats, primer, and 2 coats of paint. We're $2M insured and WSIB covered. Don't disturb your ceiling—improper handling releases dangerous fibers. Call us at (519) 729-7394 for a free estimate. KW Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Google Reviews
