Trade dated stipple for smooth, modern ceilings
Few things date a home like a popcorn (stipple) ceiling. Removing it is one of the fastest, highest-impact updates you can make. Famous Pro Painters does it across Toronto and the GTA. We keep the mess contained and refinish the ceiling smooth, flat and modern.
We seal off the room and protect everything below, scrape the stipple, then skim, sand and prime to a clean finish ready for paint. The result instantly brightens and modernizes a space and makes the whole room feel taller and fresher.
Note: ceilings in older homes can contain asbestos and should be tested before removal — we'll guide you. Every project is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Planning & Budget
What affects popcorn removal cost
A few factors drive most quotes — here's what to consider.
Area & rooms
Total ceiling square footage and the number of rooms is the biggest single driver.
Ceiling height
High and vaulted ceilings need extra equipment and time to reach and finish.
Asbestos awareness
Older ceilings should be tested first; if present, specialized abatement is required.
Condition & repairs
Cracks, stains and unevenness revealed underneath may need extra skim and repair.
Finish & paint
Priming and repainting the ceiling completes the job for a finished look.
Furnished vs. empty
Empty rooms are faster; occupied rooms need more protection and setup.
Because every ceiling is different, we never quote blind. Every popcorn-removal estimate is free, itemized and based on seeing the space — so the number you see is the number you pay.

Common Questions
Popcorn removal FAQs
How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost?
It depends on the ceiling area, height, condition underneath, and whether testing or abatement is needed. We give a free, itemized quote after seeing the ceilings so the price is accurate.
How messy is it?
Less than you'd expect — we fully seal off and protect the room before scraping, and clean up thoroughly afterward, so the dust stays contained.
What about asbestos in older ceilings?
Popcorn ceilings from older homes can contain asbestos and should be tested before removal. If it's present, specialized abatement is required. We'll guide you on testing, and any required asbestos abatement is carried out by a certified specialist before we remove the ceiling.
Do you repaint the ceiling after?
Yes — we skim, prime and paint the ceiling for a complete, finished result, since we're painters too.
How long does it take?
A single room is often done in a day or two including finishing; a whole home takes longer. We give you a realistic schedule with your quote.
Are you insured and is your work guaranteed?
Yes. We're fully licensed and insured, and every job is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee plus a written workmanship warranty.
