Stucco Removal in Toronto
Quick answer: We remove stucco texture from ceilings across Toronto and the GTA. The work area is sealed with plastic, the texture is removed with Festool sanders connected to HEPA-filtered vacuums, and the ceiling is skim-coated to a Level 5 finish, primed and painted. Our own crew does the whole job, with no subcontractors, and clean-up is included.
​
In Toronto, “stucco ceiling” and “popcorn ceiling” usually mean the same thing: a sprayed-on texture that makes rooms look dated, collects dust and shows every shadow. Removing it leaves a flat, modern surface that’s easy to paint and keep clean. Not sure what kind of texture you have? See popcorn vs stucco vs knockdown ceilings.

Kitchen Stucco Removal
Textured ceilings over kitchens hold grease and cooking residue, and they’re hard to clean. A smooth, painted ceiling wipes clean and makes the room look brighter.
Dining Room Stucco Removal
The dining room ceiling is one of the most visible in the home, and texture shows every shadow from a chandelier or pendant light. A Level 5 finish keeps the ceiling flat even under direct light.
Living Room Stucco Removal
Living rooms usually have the largest ceilings in the house, where texture stands out most under side light from the windows. Removing it is one of the quickest ways to make the room feel newer and bigger.
Basement Stucco Removal
A smooth ceiling makes a lower level feel brighter and more finished. If the basement ceiling has old patches or water stains, we repair them before the skim coat.
Bedroom Stucco Removal
Bedrooms are quick, contained jobs: most single rooms are finished in one day, and the rest of the house stays usable while we work.
How We Remove Stucco
Every stucco ceiling goes through the same six steps:
​
-
Inspect. We check the ceiling for cracks, loose areas, water stains and signs of moisture, so repairs are planned before work starts.
-
Seal the room. Walls, floors, vents, light fixtures and doorways are covered with plastic sheeting; furniture is moved out or fully covered.
-
Test for asbestos, if needed. If the texture went up before 1990, a sample goes to a lab first, and nothing is disturbed until the result is back. See our asbestos testing guide.
-
Remove the texture with dust extraction. Festool sanders connected to HEPA-filtered vacuums capture the dust at the source, section by section.
-
Repair and skim-coat to Level 5. Cracks and damaged areas are repaired, then a full skim coat goes over the ceiling and is sanded flat. See Level 4 vs Level 5 finish.
-
Prime, paint and clean up. A stain-blocking primer, two coats of flat ceiling paint, and full clean-up.

Stucco Removal Cost in Toronto
Stucco removal is priced the same way as popcorn ceiling removal, because in Toronto it’s the same job under a different name. Typical cost is $4.50–$8.00 per sq ft, with a $1,600 project minimum; removal, skim coat, Level 5 sanding, primer and paint are included. Multi-room projects typically run $3,000–$6,000, and full-house jobs $6,500–$8,500.
​
If the texture needs asbestos testing first, testing costs $200 before HST: we take a sample and deliver it to a lab for analysis. Each additional sample, for example from another area of the home, is $75. See the full cost guide and calculator.
