Popcorn ceilings were standard in Toronto homes built between the 1960s and 1990s. They collect dust, look dated, and are nearly impossible to repaint without making them look worse. Removal gives you a clean slate — and a ceiling that actually looks like it belongs in your home.

The process involves moistening and carefully scraping the texture, then skim-coating any damaged drywall underneath. Older homes may have asbestos-containing popcorn ceilings — we test before we touch, and follow all provincial guidelines if remediation is required.

Once smooth, the ceiling gets primed and painted. The difference is immediately visible. Most homeowners wish they'd done it years earlier.
