Why Schomberg Homeowners Choose Master of Ceilings

We’ve earned the trust of hundreds of GTA homeowners — and we’ve earned it the only way that matters: by doing great
work, one ceiling at a time.

How We Work — Our Proven 5-Step Process

Here’s exactly what happens when we work on your ceiling. No surprises, no rushed steps, no shortcuts.

01

Free In-Home Assessment

We come to your home anywhere in the GTA at a time that works for you. We inspect the ceiling, check for any concerns (including asbestos for homes built before the mid-1970s), measure the area, ask about your goals, and give you a clear written quote within 24 hours. No pressure. No high-pressure sales tactics. Just an honest assessment from people who've done this thousands of times.

02

Full Home Protection

Before any work begins, we cover all your floors, walls, furniture, doorways, and HVAC vents with professional protection materials. We seal off the work area to contain dust. Your home stays protected from the first hour to the last. This is the step most contractors skip — and it's why their work creates such a mess. We don't skip it.

03

Dust-Controlled Removal

This is where the magic happens. Using professional Festool and Mirka HEPA-filter sanding systems with industrial dust-control equipment, we remove the popcorn, stucco, or textured ceiling cleanly. Minimal mess, no surprises. We've refined this process over 15 years to be as clean and quiet as ceiling removal can be.

04

Multi-Layer Skim Coat & Sanding

After removal, the ceiling isn't ready yet. We apply 2-3 layers of professional plaster, sanded smooth between coats. Each layer is wider than the last to create a perfectly flat surface. The result is a Level 5 skim coat finish — the luxury custom home standard. Your ceiling will look perfect under any lighting condition.

05

Prime, Paint & Cleanup

The optional but recommended final step. We apply professional primer and Benjamin Moore premium ceiling paint to complete the transformation. Then thorough cleanup — we leave your home cleaner than we found it. Final walkthrough together so you're 100% happy before we close out the job. Every project includes a 1-year written workmanship warranty

Honest Popcorn Ceiling Removal Pricing in Schomberg

Heritage 1880-1950 + scattered modern construction era, typical home sizes, common scenarios.

Size of the Ceiling

Bigger jobs often cost less per square foot. A 1,200 sq ft main floor will have a better per-foot price than a single 200 sq ft bedroom.

Condition (Painted vs Unpainted)

Painted popcorn ceilings take longer to remove than unpainted ones. The paint adds time but doesn't dramatically change the price.

Asbestos Testing (if needed)

For homes built before the mid-1970s, we recommend testing. Testing costs $50-$150 per sample. We arrange certified Ontario lab testing for you.

Level 5 Skim Coat Finish

Level 5 (perfectly smooth, luxury finish) costs slightly more than Level 4 (basic smooth). Most customers choose Level 5 because the difference is worth it.

Painting Included

Adding professional painting costs $1.50-$3 per square foot extra. Most customers add this so the whole transformation happens in one project.

Access (Condos vs Houses)

Condo high-rises may have building rules to follow — elevator booking, hallway protection, work hour limits. This adds slightly to condo pricing.

Compared to other Toronto contractors, we’re priced fairly because we focus only on ceilings. We don’t pad our pricing with kitchen renovation overhead, painting subcontractor markups, or general contractor margins. Every project gets a free written quote within 24 hours — in person, in writing, with no hidden fees.

Asbestos in Schomberg Popcorn Ceilings How We Handle It

Heritage 1880-1950 + scattered modern If pre-1975 era homes are common, emphasize asbestos testing recommendation. If newer construction, mention asbestos is less common but testing still available.

Here's how we help:

Asbestos Testing ($50-$150 per sample

We take a small sample of your ceiling material and send it to an accredited Ontario lab. Results come back in 2-5 business days in writing. Once we have results, we walk you through your options honestly — no pressure either way.

Asbestos Encapsulation

If your sample tests positive for asbestos, we recommend encapsulation in most cases. Here's how it works: we cover the ceiling with multi-layer plaster and a Level 5 skim coat. The asbestos stays sealed inside permanently — no dust, no danger, no disturbance. You get a beautiful smooth modern ceiling without the risks (or cost) of full removal. Encapsulation is recognized as safe by Health Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Labour. It's also faster (3-7 days vs 2-4 weeks for full Type 3 abatement) and significantly cheaper ($4-$9/sq ft vs $15-$30/sq ft)

Standard Removal

If your test comes back negative — or your home was built after the mid-1970s and asbestos is unlikely — we proceed with standard dust-controlled removal using our HEPA-filter equipment.

Important Honest Disclosure

Master of Ceilings is NOT certified for Type 3 asbestos abatement (full removal). We provide asbestos TESTING and ENCAPSULATION only. If you need full Type 3 abatement, we'll refer you to a certified abatement specialist we trust. We don't pretend to do work we're not qualified for — that honesty is part of why our customers trust us.

Worried? Don’t be. Just call us at 647-972-4858 — we’ll come take a look, give you honest options, and a free quote. No pressure, no fear-selling.
