Attic Insulation Top-Up
An attic insulation top-up lays new loose fill over the layer you have now until the whole attic reads R-60. When the existing layer is dry and sound, it is the fastest way to warm the top floor.

Attic Insulation Cost In The Ottawa Valley, Ontario
Ontario attic rebates up to $1,250 may applyAttic insulation cost across the valley usually falls between $1,500 and $4,000 for a full job, and the drive to your home is already part of that. The written quote after a free visit gives you the real figure.
Attic insulation cost depends on the size of the attic, the depth already there, how much sealing is needed and whether anything has to come out first. We check all of it on the visit and give each part its own price.
Attic Insulation Cost details
Attic Insulation Cost By Type Of Job
These Ontario going rates are per square foot of ceiling. New fill over an old layer runs about $1.25 to $2.75. Blown cellulose to R-60 runs about $1.25 to $2.50. Farmhouse attics with open wall tops run about $2.25 to $4.50, since the sealing takes longer.
Clearing out the old material and starting fresh runs about $3.00 to $5.75. Sealing on its own is usually $500 to $1,500 for most houses. Small jobs begin near $1,200.
What Pushes Attic Insulation Cost Up
Low roofs and tight eaves raise attic insulation cost, because they take longer to reach. Wet, dirty or crushed old fill that must come out adds a second stage. Farmhouse wall tops, chimney dams and a hatch that has to be cut or widened each add an item.
Distance does not change attic insulation cost. The drive to a farm or a cottage lane is already built into the attic insulation cost we put on paper.
What Keeps Attic Insulation Cost Down
A dry, clean layer that only needs more depth keeps attic insulation cost low. An open attic with good headroom goes faster. Doing the sealing and the attic insulation top-up on one visit saves a second trip.

Jobs That Pair Well With This One
Sealing, baffles and new fill usually travel together, and one drive out covers all of them.
Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation is blown loose over the attic floor, where it drapes around wires, braces and low eaves that a batt cannot reach. It suits the uneven, crowded attics of older valley houses.

Farmhouse Attic Insulation
Farmhouse attic insulation begins by sealing the open wall tops and board ceilings that let heat pour into an old attic, then lays deep loose fill on top. It is the job old valley farmhouses need most.

Attic Insulation Removal
Attic insulation removal clears out old material that is wet, mouldy, crushed flat or soiled by animals, so new fill can go onto a clean attic floor. Blowing over a ruined layer only hides the trouble.

Vermiculite Attic Insulation
Vermiculite insulation needs a lab test before anyone disturbs it, because some of it contains asbestos. Testing comes first, clean-out second and new attic insulation last.

Attic Air Sealing
Attic air sealing closes the holes in your ceiling where warm house air drifts up into the attic. It always comes before new fill, since insulation slows heat but lets moving air pass.

Ice Dam Prevention
Ice dam prevention keeps the roof cold from underneath by sealing air leaks, opening the soffit vents and adding attic insulation to R-60. Stop the melt in the attic and the ice stops building at the edge.

Attic Insulation For Propane And Oil Heated Homes
Air sealing and attic insulation cut how much propane or oil a rural house burns each winter, because less heat escapes upward. The savings count for more when the fuel costs more.
