Blown-in insulation
Loose material placed across the attic floor and around joists. The quote names the material, coverage and planned depth, including any settling allowance.
Options & planning prices
What is there?
What belongs next?
Every quote follows a $95 attic check. These sample ranges help you plan; access, existing material and the layer we agree to install set the written price.
Batt insulation
Pre-cut blankets fitted into defined spaces between framing. We check the bay sizes and existing layers before recommending where batts belong.
Sample prices by attic size
Labor and insulation for an accessible attic floor, with existing material left in place where suitable. Each range assumes a layer specified after inspection, not a fixed depth for every home.
600 square feet
Blown-in$1,200–$1,800
Batts$1,500–$2,200
1,000 square feet
Blown-in$1,800–$2,800
Batts$2,400–$3,400
1,500 square feet
Blown-in$2,700–$3,900
Batts$3,500–$4,900
The $95 attic check, air sealing, removal, moisture repairs, ventilation changes and new access work are separate. Another attic size gets its own quote.
Attic check
$95 / visit
Before any quote: we look at access, existing insulation and depth, air gaps, ventilation paths and signs of moisture. The fee is separate and is not deducted from installation.
Air sealing
$450–$950 / attic
A sample range for sealing accessible gaps at the attic floor before insulation. The number and location of gaps set the price; removal or difficult access is extra.
Reading the depth marks
Inches tell you
how thick it is.
A mark reading 6 inches means the layer is about 6 inches thick at that point. It is a measurement, not a grade for the whole attic.
R-value describes resistance to heat flow. Different materials can have different R-values at the same depth. We record the material and measurements in several places, then explain the target for your attic.
Loose insulation can settle. The quoted installed depth and the expected settled depth are explained together; we do not prescribe one number of inches for every home.
Winter questions, plain answers.
Will insulation stop ice dams?
Insulation alone cannot promise that. Heat reaching the roof, air gaps, moisture and roof conditions can all matter. Tell us where the ice appears; the attic check helps identify what our work can address and what needs a separate look.
Can you work in winter?
Attic checks and insulation work continue in winter when access allows. If we find moisture or another condition that needs attention first, we explain that before quoting insulation.
A closer look comes first
Let’s look above
the ceiling.
Every estimate starts with a $95 attic check. We measure what is there, look at the gaps and explain what belongs in the quote.
