Popcorn Ceiling Removal Cost in Burlington (2026 Price Guide)

If you are planning to smooth ceilings this year, this Burlington guide gives you practical budget ranges and the factors that move pricing up or down.

Typical popcorn ceiling removal cost in Burlington (2026)

Most projects fall in these labour-only ranges:

• Unpainted popcorn ceiling: about $6-$8 per sq ft
• Painted popcorn or heavier patching: about $7.5-$10 per sq ft

Small projects can price higher per square foot because setup, containment, and cleanup time stay similar even in one room.

Quick Burlington price examples

• 150 sq ft bedroom: roughly $900-$1,500 labour
• 450 sq ft main-floor ceiling area: roughly $2,700-$4,500 labour
• 900 sq ft multi-room project: roughly $5,400-$9,000 labour

Final pricing depends on surface condition, ceiling height, number of fixtures, and how much repair is needed after texture removal.

What changes your price per sq ft

• Paint layers on texture (painted popcorn takes longer)
• Ceiling height, vaults, and hard-to-reach areas
• Crack repair, water-stain treatment, or tape-joint fixes
• Pot-light changes and patch blending
• Whether primer and finish painting are included
