Is $4,300 to install baffles and blow in 12” of insulation a fair price?
Project Details
My house stays pretty warm in the summer and cold in the winter. I wanted to do some blown-in insulation myself and add baffles to help with circulation and to prevent the blown-in material from covering the soffit vents, but the shape of the attic makes accessibility to those areas very limited and difficult. The space makes me think the professional price might be worth it even if I have to wait a few months to get that money saved up. I was hoping someone else had dealt with a tight space like this before and found a trick to make it more manageable. I’m not a big guy, but even at 6’1”, 215, it’s tough to get around when I’ve been up there. I honestly don’t know how to wiggle into the corner where the baffles need to go. The rafters are just so inconveniently placed and I’m not sure what’s the best route to take to move around.
