Is $12,500 to improve attic airflow, remove old insulation, treat for growth, and install new insulation a fair price?
Project Details
I'm looking for a sanity check on a quote I received for my attic. I bought my house in 2019, and recently found wet books in the attic, which suggests a moisture problem. The company claims my house lacks sufficient airflow because it was built without soffits, relying only on gable and roof vents. They proposed a solution, but I'm unsure if their diagnosis is accurate or if the $12.5k quote is reasonable, as I don't know much about houses or insulation.
Quote Details
The quote addresses insufficient attic airflow and moisture issues, including mold growth. The proposed work involves enhancing ventilation and replacing contaminated insulation. - Install: Three electric fans (one on each end, one in the middle) to aid in airflow- Remove: Existing insulation- Treat: Attic sprayed to kill any growth- Install: New blown-in insulation
