Is $1,000 to add blown fiberglass insulation to garage ceiling a fair price?
Project Details
I bought a new construction house from a national builder in 2024. The two bedrooms above the garage are really cold in the winter, and the floors feel cold. I got two estimates from insulation companies, both recommended from our neighborhood Facebook group. I'm looking for advice on the pros and cons of each evaluation and which would be most effective for keeping the rooms warm in winter and cool in summer.
