Attic Insulation Cost details
Attic Insulation Cost Per Square Foot
A top-up over an existing layer costs $1.25 to $2.25 per square foot of floor space under the attic. Filling a bare or nearly bare attic costs $1.75 to $3.00. Sealing plus a top-up costs $2.00 to $3.50.
Getting a cottage attic ready for winter use costs $2.00 to $3.50. Pulling out old fill and blowing in new costs $3.00 to $5.25. Sealing alone is priced by the job, usually $400 to $1,500, and the smallest jobs start near $1,000.
What Pushes Attic Insulation Cost Up
Attic insulation cost rises with the depth needed, the number of leaks to seal and how awkward the attic is to work in. Low roofs, tight eaves and attics crowded with ductwork all take longer.
Removal adds the most. Wet, mouldy or fouled fill has to come out before new fill goes in, which adds labour and disposal.
What Keeps Attic Insulation Cost Down
A dry, clean old layer can stay, so a top-up costs far less than starting over. A simple roof with an easy hatch also keeps the work short.
Some homes can recover part of the attic insulation cost through the attic insulation rebate, when its rules fit.

Work That Often Goes With This One
Several of these are usually done on the same day.
-
Attic Insulation Top-Up
Orillia's older houses mostly need an attic insulation top-up: fresh loose fill laid over the dry layer already up there, until the depth sits near R-60. For an older house, nothing gets the attic up to standard faster or for less money.
Steps and prices -
Blown-In Attic Insulation
Blown-in attic insulation is loose cellulose or fibreglass sent up a hose and spread across the whole ceiling, around every wire, box and joist. It reaches the spots that batts leave open.
Steps and prices -
Cottage Attic Insulation
Cottage attic insulation turns a thin summer ceiling into one that holds heat through a winter weekend. It is priced from the same rates we charge for a house in town.
Steps and prices -
Attic Insulation Removal
Attic insulation removal vacuums out old fill that is wet, mouldy, flattened or fouled by animals, so the ceiling can be air sealed and refilled from scratch. A large hose carries it from the attic to a collection unit or sealed bags outside.
Steps and prices -
Vermiculite Attic Insulation
Pebbly vermiculite attic insulation in an older house may contain asbestos, so a lab test always comes before any other step. Until the result is in, the safest choice is to leave it alone.
Steps and prices -
Attic Air Sealing
Attic air sealing in an Orillia house stops the warm, damp indoor air that slips up through gaps at lights, pipes and wires. We work from above, on the ceiling side, ahead of any new fill.
Steps and prices -
Ice Dam Prevention
Ice dam prevention works from under the roof, keeping the roof boards so cold that the snow on top stays frozen until spring. Sealing, depth and open soffits are the three tools.
