Stucco ceilings in Toronto homes
Stucco ceilings are common in older Toronto houses and in many older condo buildings. Many have layers of paint on top, which makes the texture harder to scrape.
Taking the texture down leaves a smooth ceiling that suits brighter, more open rooms.
Asbestos testing in older buildings
Health Canada says that before 1990, asbestos was mainly used to insulate and fireproof buildings and homes. Many Toronto houses and condo towers are older than that.
It advises a professional test before remodelling, and a qualified removal specialist if a test finds asbestos.
Our popcorn and stucco ceiling asbestos guide explains how testing works in Ontario.
Condo rules and elevator booking
Condo work runs on the building’s schedule. Before booking, we sort out the service elevator, allowed work hours and parking with you and the management office.
Painting the rest of the unit too? Our condo painting in Toronto service can follow the ceiling work.
Dust control in a lived-in home
You may be living in the home while the ceiling comes down, so dust control matters. We cover the floors, seal doorways and vents with plastic, and keep scraping inside that space.
From scraped to smooth
After the texture is off, we repair seams and cracks, skim the ceiling and sand it smooth. Primer and paint follow when they are part of your quote.
Holes, cracks or leak damage elsewhere in the house? Our drywall repair in Toronto service handles those too.
Need the walls and trim painted afterwards? Our Toronto painters can take care of the rest of the room.

Your questions, answered
Do Toronto popcorn ceilings contain asbestos?
Some do, especially in houses and condos from before 1990, and only a lab test can tell you. Health Canada advises a professional test before remodelling. If the test finds asbestos, it advises hiring a qualified removal specialist.
Can you remove a popcorn ceiling in a condo?
Yes. We plan around your building’s rules, including the service elevator and allowed work hours. Dust stays inside the sealed work area, away from the hallway.
How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in a Toronto home?
That depends on the room size, painted texture and repairs underneath. Each skim coat needs time to dry, so the work can run over more than one visit. Your quote sets out the schedule.
Can you paint the ceiling after removal?
Yes, primer and paint can be part of your quote. You can also leave the ceiling ready for paint if you prefer to choose colours later.
Do I need to move furniture out first?
Not always. Smaller pieces are easiest to move out, while larger ones can stay in the middle of the room under plastic. Your quote says what needs moving.
