"It was a pleasure working with these guys all the way around. It was quick and easy to get an estimate from Mike, the owner of the company, and after talking to him I felt confident in his company and services. I had trouble even getting other contractors to come and bid the job, but finally got another estimate and Attic Experts had given me the best price. I was glad because I wanted to work with these guys. Two very polite young men arrived at 7:30 am to do the job. They put down drop cloths on my floors but there was very little mess. The blower and the fiberglass material stay outside on their trailer. They ran a long hose from the trailer through my second-floor window to the attic opening. One guy fed the blower at ground level while the other guy was in the attic blowing it all around. They were done and gone by 2 pm and the difference in my home was amazing. I really can't say enough good things about Attic Experts. I highly recommend them."

"This is a 'one of a kind' business - customer service that is friendly, professional, understands the problem and has the solution, returns phone calls and cares that the job is done exactly as bid with a team of organized workers efficient and as professional as the manager and owner. and work scheduled when convenient for us. They arrived on time with a large amount of insulation and when the work was completed they left my home as they had found it. Later Sean, the manager we worked with, phoned to insure they had completed the job as promised. Let me make note about Sean. He was our first contact from Home Advisor. Sean remained our contact until the project was completed. His 'word is his bond' as is Steve's - the owner. Sean knew exactly the solution to this cold older home and the frustration of living with high utility bills and drafts throughout the year. He took this on as if it was his cold home! You cannot put a price on a company such as Skidmore Insulation - or a price on the valuable information and time Sean spent insuring that this was done right or a price from Steve the owner to ask if we were satisfied with the work. Thank you Skidmore for your high standards!"

"Can't go wrong with the company. Explained different options for expenses. Explained pros and cons of different options. I was able to make an informed and comfortable decision based on their transparency of discussion. Didn't feel pressured to make an immediate decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is insulation?

What is insulation?
Insulation is material that provides a barrier within a home’s walls, ceilings, and floors to regulate temperature and noise. If your home gets overly hot in the summer and cold in the winter, it’s likely not insulated properly.
Insulation efficiency is measured by R-value, which determines how resistant different types of insulation are to heat flow (or energy loss). R-values are measured by inch of thickness. The higher the R-value, the better the performance and the higher the price.
How much does insulation cost?
+
How much does insulation cost?
Our project data lists insulation costs between $1,400 and $6,300, but your final price will depend on the type of insulation you choose, its R-value, and how much you need.
- Fiberglass insulation: $0.30 – $1.50
- Blown-in insulation: $1 – $2
- Spray foam insulation: $0.50 – $2
- Radiant insulation: $0.20 – $1
- Rigid board insulation: $0.25 – $1
Luckily, insulation is one of the best investments you can make in your home—it has an ROI of at least 100%, meaning you’ll likely make back what you spend in a few years or so.
What is insulation made of?
+
What is insulation made of?
Insulation is made of many different materials, which can also impact the R-value needed for energy efficiency.
- Fiberglass: The most common insulation material made from glass. Fiberglass is a skin and lung irritant, so you’ll need to wear gloves and clothing when working with fiberglass insulation.
- Cellulose: Made from recycled paper products, plus borate for fire and insect resistance.
- Foam: Made from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane plastic. You can also install cement-based foam insulation using rigid foam boards.
- Mineral wool: Made of fire-resistant rock wool, a mix of natural materials, or slag wool, made from a molten metal product.
- Natural fibers: Made from various recycled natural materials, including cotton, sheep’s wool, and straw.
Where is insulation in a house?

Where is insulation in a house?
If your attic is unfinished or you’ve ever demolished an interior wall, you might notice batt or spray foam insulation between the studs. Putting insulation between your walls and floors helps keep your home comfortable and your energy costs down. In addition to walls and attics, you can install insulation in your garage, in floors above vented crawl spaces, and basements.
- Garage Insulation: $0.50 to $1.25 per square foot
- Floor and crawl space insulation: $1 to $5 per square foot
- Basement insulation: $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot
- Wall insulation: $1 to $4 per square foot
- Attic insulation: $1,500 to $6,000
- Roof insulation: $1,500 to $4,500 or more
What are the different types of insulation?
+
What are the different types of insulation?
There are a few types of home insulation, and they all are made of different materials— most commonly, fiberglass, cellulose, and foam. Insulation includes these materials in the following forms:
- Loose-fill: Also called “blown-in,” loose-fill is sprayed into wall cavities, attics, and other oddly-shaped areas using special equipment. This insulation is usually made of fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool.
- Batts: An affordable insulation blanket best for unfinished spaces, such as between framing, studs, or joists. They come in pre-cut sections suitable for DIY installation and are mostly made from fiberglass, though other versions are also available.
- Rolls: Similar to batt insulation, but comes in rolls. Its make-up leaves less chance for gaps between sections and is more efficient than other types.
- Foam board: One of the most popular insulation types that can be used almost anywhere in your home. Foam boards also have a high R-value.
- Spray foam: Expands and hardens to fill gaps, small and large. Can be closed-cell or open-cell, but closed-cell has a higher R-value, making it more expensive per square foot.
- Radiant barriers: Does not reduce heat flow but directs heat away from the home instead. Radiant barriers are DIY-friendly and affordable, but they won’t be as effective in the winter months.
