"Work performed is highest quality. Workers were professional, considerate and trustworthy. This job started on time but wasn't complete in the 4 week estimate. There were big 3 snowstorms and days with 50 degree below zero temps causing vehicle problems. Without the weather issues, and some repairs discovered behind the walls, this job would have been complete within 4 weeks. I plan to use Rhino Construction for other upcoming projects."

Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re using faced insulation with paper, face the paper toward the inside of the room during the installation process.

A good way to remember this is that the paper should face the “warm side” as it’s the vapor barrier, meaning it should face toward where the heat will be coming from.

Garage doors that are not insulated can be a major source of heat loss. That’s why it’s essential to winterize your garage door with insulation and weather stripping to prevent heat loss and keep it warm more easily. Consult a local garage door installer if you need help determining the cause of your garage losing heat.

Through R-value assessments based on climate and existing insulation.

The benefits of insulating your pipes include preventing freezing, sweating, and condensation. In addition, insulating your pipes can make your home more energy-efficient by keeping your pipes from losing or gaining heat. You’ll be able to turn the temperature of your water heater down by two to four degrees Fahrenheit. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, this can reduce energy costs by 3% to 4% per year.

On average, insulating an attic costs about $2,500, with a typical range of $1,500 to $3,500. The final price often depends on the attic's size, with costs generally falling between $1 to $3 per square foot. For example, insulating a 1,800-square-foot attic would likely cost between $1,800 and $5,400.

If the project involves removing old insulation, this can add an average of $900 to the total cost, bringing a full removal and reinsulation project to around $3,000.

Several factors influence the overall cost:

Insulation Type: Prices per square foot vary significantly by material.
Reflective: $0.50–$1.50
Blown-in: $1–$4
Batt: $2–$4
Loose-fill: $2–$5
Spray foam: $2–$5
Structural insulated panels (SIPs): $4–$7
Project Complexity: Factors like sealing air leaks, poor attic accessibility, and required inspections can add to the cost.
Removal Issues: The discovery of mold, asbestos, or pests during the removal of old insulation can substantially increase the price.
