Attic Insulation Cost details
Attic Insulation Cost By Type Of Job
The attic insulation cost figures below are per square foot of ceiling unless stated otherwise.
Topping up a sound existing layer: about $1.25 to $2.50.
Blown cellulose to R-60: about $1.50 to $2.75. Blown fiberglass to R-60: about $1.75 to $3.00.
Sealing plus new fill on top: about $2.00 to $3.50. Air sealing by itself is priced for the whole attic, at about $400 to $1,500.
Removing old fill and refilling: about $3.00 to $5.50.
Sealing and insulating the hatch: about $150 to $450. Most jobs carry a minimum of around $1,000.
What Pushes Attic Insulation Cost Up
Tight headroom slows every step of the work, so a low attic raises attic insulation cost. Damp, mouldy or fouled fill adds attic insulation removal and cleanup. Dozens of pot lights, a masonry chimney, or a bath fan duct that ends in the attic all add sealing time. A very thin starting layer needs more new material.
What Keeps Attic Insulation Cost Down
A dry, clean, roomy attic with a fair existing layer has the lowest attic insulation cost, because the old fill counts toward R-60. One visit for sealing, baffles and the hatch beats paying for three separate trips. A rebate may trim the final bill as well; current tiers are on the attic insulation rebate page.

Jobs That Often Share The Same Visit
Sealing, the hatch and a top-up tend to share one install day, which spares you a second visit.
-
Attic Insulation Top-Up
An attic insulation top-up keeps your existing fill and blows a fresh layer over it until the attic reads R-60. Our two depth readings record exactly how many inches went on.
-
Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation starts life as newsprint and cardboard, shredded and treated so it resists fire and pests, and we blow it across the attic floor as loose fill. Because it tucks in around wiring, nails and truss webs, cellulose insulation is the material we pick most often for older attics.
-
Blown-In Fiberglass Attic Insulation
Blown-in fiberglass insulation arrives as fluffy spun glass that the hose lays down in a soft, even blanket. It will not soak up water, puts very little weight on the ceiling and holds its depth for years.
-
Attic Insulation Removal And Replacement
Attic insulation removal clears out fill that is damp, mouldy, fouled by mice or squirrels, or crushed past saving. With the joists bare and the ceiling sealed, new attic insulation is blown back in to full depth.
-
Attic Air Sealing
Attic air sealing shuts the small openings where heated house air pours up into the attic, with spray foam, caulk and fitted covers. We do it before any new attic insulation goes down, since insulation slows heat yet lets moving air straight through.
-
Attic Hatch Insulation
Attic hatch insulation turns a thin, drafty access lid into part of the insulated ceiling. We gasket the frame and glue a thick stack of foam board onto the lid, so the hatch holds heat like the attic around it.
-
Ice Dam Prevention
Ice dam prevention aims to hold the roof deck at outdoor temperature, so high snow stays frozen instead of melting and refreezing at the eaves. In practice that means sealing the ceiling, keeping soffit air moving and bringing the attic insulation to full depth.
-
Attic Insulation Rebate
A Newmarket owner whose thin attic is brought up to R-50 may qualify for an attic insulation rebate under Home Renovation Savings, the province-wide program run jointly by Save on Energy and Enbridge Gas. The thinner the attic was, the larger the attic insulation rebate.
