Is $7,000 to insulate joists with spray foam a fair price?
Project Details
I was quoted almost $7k for some foam, so I'm doing this myself slowly. I'm using R-7.5 wall panels and then spray foaming the edges. The concrete that the joists sit on is slanted, and I'm unsure if I should leave an air gap or push the foam board all the way back against the exterior.
