Blown-In Attic Insulation
Blown-in attic insulation spreads an even layer over the entire attic floor, around wires and trusses, while a clean existing layer stays in place.
How it works and what it costs
Attic insulation cost in Barrhaven depends on the attic's floor area, the depth you add, the sealing needed and whether old material comes out first.
Each of those parts gets its own line on the written quote, so every dollar has a label. The ranges below are Ontario market figures, and the quote after the visit is the real number for your house.
Topping up an existing layer is usually $1.40 to $2.60 per square foot. Taking a nearly bare attic to R-60 is about $2.00 to $3.20. Air sealing combined with a top-up comes to roughly $1.90 to $3.40, and stripping old material before a full refill lands near $3.20 to $5.80.
Rooms over garages are about $2.50 to $4.50 per square foot of floor, and cathedral ceilings about $3.50 to $7.00. The smallest job we take on is $1,100.
A townhouse attic of about 600 to 800 square feet often costs $1,100 to $2,000 for sealing and a top-up. A detached two-story home with a 1,000 to 1,300 square foot attic often lands between $1,800 and $3,500. Larger homes in Stonebridge or around Manotick cost more because of the area and the more complex roof lines.
The number of pot lights and other ceiling openings changes the sealing time. A hatch in a tight closet slows the work. Low roofs at the eaves take longer to reach. Mouse damage or wet insulation adds removal. A clean, dry existing layer lowers the price, because it is left where it is and added to the depth.
Our home page has an estimator that turns square footage into a range. The visit then measures the attic, finds the leaks and turns that range into a written attic insulation cost that holds.

These jobs are often quoted together, because the same visit and the same crew can handle them in one trip to the attic.

How it works and what it costs
R-60 attic insulation is our usual target for Barrhaven attics: a deep, even layer over a sealed ceiling.
How it works and what it costs
Attic insulation removal vacuums out wet, dirty or flattened material, leaving a bare floor that can be sealed and filled again from scratch.
How it works and what it costs
Attic air sealing plugs the gaps in the ceiling so warm house air stays downstairs, and it happens on every job before anything new goes on top.
How it works and what it costs
Attic ventilation moves outside air in at the soffits and out near the ridge, so the attic stays cold and dry in winter and less hot in summer.
How it works and what it costs
Room over garage insulation warms the bedroom or bonus room above an attached garage by sealing and insulating its floor, its short side walls and the slope overhead.
How it works and what it costs
Cathedral ceiling insulation fills the rafters above a sloped or vaulted ceiling, a closed space too tight for loose fill to be spread across.
How it works and what it costs
The attic insulation rebate from Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program covers a share of an attic upgrade, with the payment tied to the R-value the attic has before work begins.
How it works and what it costsThe visit sorts it out. We look at the whole attic and recommend only the work it needs.
