Pricing

How much does insulation cost in Tecate?

Cost for Tecate attic insulation depends on attic size, the target R-value, access and the material. Spray foam costs more per square foot than blown-in cellulose, but it insulates and air-seals in one pass. Removing old or damaged insulation is a separate line item.
