The cheapest way to redo a popcorn ceiling is removal and skim coating, which costs $4.50 per square foot all-inclusive for unpainted ceilings. This includes removal, two skim coats, primer, and two coats of paint—a complete transformation for a typical 3-bedroom home runs $2,000–$4,500.

Here's what affects your final cost:

• Unpainted popcorn: $4.50/sqft (best price)
• Latex-painted: $6.50/sqft
• Oil-base painted: $7.50/sqft

Important in Ontario: Popcorn ceilings installed before 1980 may contain asbestos. We recommend testing ($300–$500 at cost) to ensure safe removal and compliance with provincial regulations. Improper removal of asbestos-containing materials violates Ontario law and poses health risks.
