Cellulose Insulation Cost Guide - Pricing Assumptions and Notes

This example estimate is for BASIC work performed in readily serviceable conditions by qualified professionals, using popular, IN STOCK products, materials and supplies available at home improvement retailers. Your actual costs will vary due to the unique conditions, requirements, labor options and material choices of your project. Work not mentioned on this page, work with schedule difficulty, work during periods of local labor shortages, and work using master craftsman, premium materials, custom built products, project supervision may result in HIGHER COSTS!

This example estimate is for educational and illustrative purposes - it is NOT a substitute for written quotes from trade professionals. Homewyse strongly recommends that you contact reputable professionals for itemized assessments of work required and costs for your project - before making any decisions or commitments.

The cost estimate includes:

  • Costs for local material / equipment delivery to and service provider transportation to and from the job site.
  • Costs to install Cellulose Insulation in existing structure, without modifications to structure or systems.
  • Labor planning and setup time, mobilization time, cleanup time and as appropriate, time needed to achieve minimum job hours agreed to before work begins.

The cost estimate does NOT include:

  • Labor upcharges associated with master/premium craftsmanship, expedited scheduling, local labor shortages, difficult or complex site conditions, excessive transit times, service provider pricing discretion and failure of customer to negotiate labor costs.
  • Costs for removing, relocating, repairing, or modifying existing framing, surfacing (including molding), HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems - or bringing any systems into compliance with current building codes.
  • Costs for testing and remediation of hazardous materials (asbestos, lead, etc.).
