Is $3,000 to redo attic insulation with cellulose a fair price?
Project Details
I am looking to redo my attic's old and sad insulation, which is currently fiberglass. I'm trying to decide between cellulose and fiberglass insulation, as I understand there are pros and cons to each. I plan to be in the house for at least another 15-20 years, which I've heard is towards the end of cellulose's usable life. I'm seeking advice on whether I should get quotes for fiberglass insulation as well, and looking for resources on this topic.
