What is the process for popcorn ceiling removal in Cambridge?
Popcorn ceiling removal in Cambridge follows a straightforward 4-step process: assessment, testing (if needed), removal, and finishing.
- Step 1 — Free in-home assessment: We inspect the ceiling and provide an exact quote on the spot.
- Step 2 — Asbestos testing: If your Cambridge home's texture was applied before the mid-1980s, we coordinate testing at cost ($300–$500, no markup) as required under Ontario Regulation 278/05 before disturbing suspect material. Testing is legally required before disturbance; removal itself is not mandated by the Ontario Building Code.
- Step 3 — Removal and skim coating: We scrape the texture, apply two skim coats, and prime the surface.
- Step 4 — Paint and cleanup: Two coats of paint for a smooth, modern finish, then full cleanup.
