Example: Attic insulation top-up before summer
The upstairs bedrooms are hot and the energy bill is high. The attic has thin, old insulation.
| Blown-in attic insulation (per sq ft) × 1200 | $2,160 |
| Air sealing | $450 |
| Attic hatch insulation | $120 |
| Total | $2,730 |
| Deposit to start (25%) | $682.50 |
Photograph the attic before and after — customers never go up there, so the photos are the proof of the work.

How much insulation do I need?
