Professional Popcorn Ceiling Removal Across the GTA
Popcorn ceilings — that heavy, sprayed-on texture popular from the 1960s through the 1990s — date a home instantly. They collect dust and cobwebs, cast uneven shadows that make rooms feel lower and darker, and are nearly impossible to clean or patch seamlessly. NorthHue Coatings provides complete popcorn ceiling removal and refinishing for a clean, modern, flat finish that transforms how a room looks and feels.
Safety comes first. In homes built before 1980, popcorn texture can contain asbestos, and disturbing it without testing and proper containment is a serious health hazard. We test every pre-1980 ceiling before any work begins and, when asbestos is present, follow regulated wet-removal and containment procedures so the material is removed safely and your home is left clean.
The mess is the biggest concern most homeowners have, and we have it solved. We fully contain the room — floors, walls, and door openings sealed with plastic sheeting — and use controlled wet-removal methods that keep texture wet and heavy rather than dry and airborne. The result is zero airborne dust during removal and a contained, bagged, and cleaned site when we finish, not a fine layer of texture dust over everything you own.
After the texture is removed, the bare ceiling is rarely smooth enough to paint. We skim coat the entire ceiling — applying thin layers of joint compound, feathering, and sanding to a smooth, level-5 finish — then prime with a stain-blocking primer and paint with a premium flat ceiling paint for a bright, clean, modern look. The difference is dramatic: rooms feel taller, lighter, and more contemporary, and it is one of the best-ROI upgrades you can make to an older Toronto home.
We serve homeowners across Toronto, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, North York, Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Newmarket, Barrie, and the entire GTA. Every popcorn ceiling removal project includes a free written estimate, a clear timeline, and our 2-year workmanship warranty.

Our Process
How We Paint Your Popcorn Ceiling Removal
A clear, proven process that delivers a flawless finish on every popcorn ceiling removal — from first estimate to final walkthrough.
Test & Contain
We test for asbestos on pre-1980 ceilings, then fully contain the room with plastic sheeting over floors, walls, and door openings.
Remove Texture
Popcorn texture is removed with controlled water misting — kept wet so it falls heavy rather than going airborne — and bagged for disposal.
Skim & Sand
The ceiling is skim-coated with joint compound, feathered, and sanded to a smooth, level-5 finish ready for paint.
Prime & Paint
A stain-blocking primer is followed by premium flat ceiling paint for a bright, clean, modern look.
