Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Toronto GTA
Modernize your Toronto home by removing outdated popcorn ceilings. RenoHouse provides professional popcorn ceiling removal services throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Popcorn ceilings (also known as stipple or cottage cheese ceilings) were popular in the 1970s and 80s but are now considered dated. Removing them instantly updates your home's appearance and can increase property value. Our popcorn ceiling removal process includes protecting floors and walls with plastic sheeting, misting the ceiling to soften texture, carefully scraping off the texture, repairing any damage to the drywall beneath, sanding smooth, and applying primer. We can leave your ceiling smooth and paint-ready, or apply a modern texture of your choice. For homes built before 1990, we recommend asbestos testing before removal. RenoHouse serves homeowners across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, and all GTA communities.
