What affects the price

  • Square footage
    1,000 sqft $800-$1,500; 1,500 sqft $1,200-$2,500; 2,000+ sqft $1,800-$3,500.
  • Existing R-value
    Adding R-30 to bare attic cheaper than topping off R-19 to R-49.
  • Air sealing
    Air seal BEFORE blow adds $400-$1,200 but doubles the insulation payback.

What's included

  • Blown cellulose to R-49 (Ohio climate zone 5)
  • Optional air sealing (rim joists, can lights, plumbing penetrations)
  • Baffles for soffit ventilation
  • Cleanup

When to call

Before winter heating season. Air seal first, then insulate — air sealing typically returns more savings than the insulation itself.
