Before & after
How we get it dead-flat
Not just scraped — skim-coated smooth
Anyone can scrape a popcorn ceiling. What you actually feel afterward is the skim coat — the thin plaster pass that levels every scrape mark and ridge into a smooth, flat finish.
How we price it
Priced by the project — never by the hour
Popcorn removal is priced by the square foot of ceiling — and a whole home is far more cost-effective per square foot than a single room. Every quote is flat-rate and itemized, so there are no surprises.
As a ballpark for the Barrie–Innisfil area: scraping, skim-coating smooth and repainting typically lands between $3.50 and $6 per square foot of ceiling, plus HST — and the more ceiling you do at once, the lower the per-square-foot rate. Older homes need an asbestos test first (about $450); if asbestos is present, licensed abatement is quoted separately.

Questions, answered
The things homeowners ask us first
How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost?
It’s usually priced by the square foot of ceiling, and a whole home is far more cost-effective per square foot than a single room. It’s a popular step as part of a whole basement finish or a whole-home refresh alongside new flooring. We give you a tailored ballpark up front, and every quote is flat-rate and itemized.
Is it a messy job?
It’s dusty, but we contain it — floors and furnishings are protected, the area is sealed, and we clean up completely. You’re left with a smooth, repainted ceiling and a tidy home. Where a ceiling needs fresh drywall or repairs before skim-coating, we handle that as part of the same job.
What about asbestos in older ceilings?
Textured ceilings in older homes can contain asbestos, so we recommend testing first. If it’s present it needs licensed abatement before removal — we’ll guide you through it safely.
