However, due to its construction with natural materials, eventually the product will lose effectiveness.

Structural insulated panels prices (SIPs)

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) cost $6 to $14 per square foot for the material alone, depending on the thickness. SIPs are large panels – 4′ x 8′ up to 8′ x 24′ – primarily used in new construction but sometimes installed at the rafters when converting an attic to a conditioned space.

  • An SIP consists of a rigid foam insulation center with a layer of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) on each side.

  • SIPs have excellent R-value, soundproofing, and waterproofing properties.

Loose-fill attic insulation cost

Loose-fill attic insulation costs $2.00 to $3.50 per square foot installed on average. Loose-fill insulation is the same material as blown-in, but the labor cost is slightly higher to install.

Loose-fill works best for:

  • For obstructed or complex spaces

  • For attics with irregular joist spacing

  • For topping over existing insulation or filling gaps

Cost factors to install or replace attic insulation

Replacing attic insulation costs $3 to $8 per square foot, including $2 to $4 per square foot to remove the old insulation. Additional costs may be required for air sealing or encapsulating, cleaning, or making repairs in the attic:

  • Labor

    Insulation labor costs $0.70 to $1.60 per square foot, depending on the material, R-value, conditions, and sealing and venting requirements.

  • Cleaning

    Attic cleaning costs $140 to $570+. Costs increase when removing old insulation, relocating items, or addressing mold or pest issues.

  • Home Age

    Older homes typically require more insulation and sealing.

  • Size

    Larger attics require more material and labor. The cost per square foot may decrease on large-scale projects.

  • Existing Insulation

    The current insulation condition impacts the insulation amount needed. Damaged insulation may require removal and replacement.

  • Roof vent installation costs $250 to $760. Vents exhausting into the attic must be vented outside before installing new insulation.

  • Roof leak repairs cost $550 to $1,400 on average.

Attic insulation removal cost

Attic insulation removal costs $2 to $4 per square foot on average, depending on the amount and type. Remove old insulation if it has fire, water, or pest damage or if the material is hazardous. Removing insulation also exposes the area to seal all penetrations.
