Attic Insulation Cost For A Typical Bolton House

Picture a newer Bolton house with a 1,200-square-foot attic holding eight inches of old fill. Raising that attic to R-60 would usually come in around $1,560 to $3,120, with another $700 to $1,700 if it needs sealing too.

What Raises Or Lowers Attic Insulation Cost

Tight headroom, steep roof pitches, balloon framing and a lot of hand work all raise the attic insulation cost, as does old fill that has to come out first.

A roomy, open attic with dry old insulation lowers it, since the new layer simply goes on top. Smaller jobs carry a minimum charge of about $1,100 to cover travel and setup.
