Is $2,200 to install fiberglass blown insulation to R-38 and remove existing batts a fair price?
Project Details
I am getting conflicting quotes for attic insulation. My top floor plan is around 1500 sq ft, so I assume 1500 sq ft in the attic. I am in Georgia. I currently have R19 batts stuffed between joists, with no sealing. One company wants to blow in fiberglass on top of the batts to R38. The other company says I likely have R5 and wants to go to R49. I am leaning towards the $3,600 quote and want to know if I am missing anything in its scope, especially since it offers up to $1200 off from GA power and tax rebates.
Quote Details
This proposal outlines the installation of fiberglass blown insulation and related services to improve attic insulation and safety. The scope of work includes: - Install fiberglass blown insulation in attic to R-38, which is the code for Georgia.- Install baffles as needed in soffits.- Install can light covers over can lights that are not IC rated to prevent overheating and flickering.- Remove the pile of fiberglass batts located in the attic (specifically, the pile on the right when going up the steps and turning back towards the other side of the attic).
