Popcorn ceiling removal has quickly become one of the most requested home upgrades today. At Aris LTD Painting, we stay ahead of trends, and this service continues to be in high demand. The results are so transformative that we even created a short video demonstrating the process and the stunning outcome you can expect in your home.

What Can Affect the Price of Popcorn Ceiling Removal?

Several factors can influence the cost of your project, including:

  • Difficulty of access: Tight corners, unique angles, or hard-to-reach areas may require special equipment.

  • Timeline and urgency: If you need it done immediately and the schedule is tight, additional labour or rearranged bookings may increase cost.

  • Flexibility in scheduling: Booking during slower seasons—like late winter or late summer—can help you secure better pricing.

  • Size of the project: Larger jobs often reduce the per-unit cost due to consolidated labour, prep time, and materials.

  • Number of colours: Keeping your colour palette to five or fewer helps avoid complexity and reduces paint waste.

  • Type of paint: We use premium Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore products, but choosing ultra-premium options may raise the cost.

  • Payment method: Credit card payments may come with processing fees that increase the overall price.

  • Preparation requirements: Covering and protecting areas, moving items, and extra isolation can add time and cost. (Tip: We can help move large furniture on the spot, don’t risk hurting yourself!)

  • Ceiling height: High ceilings may require scaffolding, which adds assembly time and additional labour.

Popcorn ceiling removal at Aris LTD Painting starts at $1,995 + GST for interior projects. For smaller projects, bundling additional painting, handyman, or carpentry services is a smart way to get the best value.

Your project will be handled by our in-house, professionally trained painters—not subcontractors. Our team brings years of experience and follows strict quality and safety standards to ensure flawless results.

Absolutely. Popcorn ceiling removal can get messy, so our team takes every precaution to protect your home. We use plastic sheeting, drop cloths, and dust-control tools that capture up to 80% of airborne dust. Furniture, walls, floors, and personal items are fully protected, and we leave your home clean and orderly at the end of the job.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process

Step 1: FREE QUOTE

Contact us today and we’ll schedule your in-home popcorn ceiling removal estimate right away. Our ceiling-flattening specialist will assess your needs and provide an on-the-spot quote that aligns with your expectations.

Step 2: PREPARATION

Once you book, we’ll walk you through our plan to protect your home, control dust, and handle cleanup. Together, we’ll choose the perfect ceiling colour, arrange flexible payment, and secure your deposit. We'll also schedule the ideal start date for your project.

Step 3: REGULAR UPDATES

On day one, we’ll review the full scope before beginning. Our team will prep the entire space with drop cloths and protective barriers. Then the work begins: scraping, skim-coating, plastering, and sanding to achieve a perfectly smooth surface. After flattening, we’ll prime the ceiling, inspect for imperfections, and finish with premium Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams latex paint.

Step 4: QUALITY CHECK

Because drying times vary, popcorn ceiling removal usually takes multiple days, and we’ll keep you updated at every step. Once complete, we’ll walk through the finished project with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. Your satisfaction is our priority; we’re not done until you’re 100% happy.
