Blown on insulation costs about blew my mind
Just received an estimate from a local company that sprays insulation on the walls of buildings such as mine and had quite the shock. Almost five thousand dollars for the whole barn minus doors and windows. That estimate was for only and inch and a half thick. I need to conduct a search for a more reasonably priced product for now, to enable me to finish the shop area. Perhaps down the road I can afford to have the storage area done with the blown on type as the budget allows. Any ideas what might work the best for this application? I am no expert when it comes to these things, but would like a good product when completing this work.

Blown on insulation costs about blew my mind
Budinohio,
This place has quoted me prices all over the spectrum. Do it now and pay in cash and save 10%. I have to provide 100 amp. service or there is an extra charge. The building is sectioned off into a 20 x 40 shop and a 40 x 40 storage by a wooden wall that is not included in the price. Yet the two halve are within two hundred bucks of each other in insulation cost. Doesn't make any sense. He quoted me by the square foot, so I am going to do some calculating today. Once the five doors and two windows and sky lights are removed, it seems the price would vary much more between the two rooms. My per foot prices are at the office, but I believe it was around 1.00 per for 2" thick and 79 cents per for 1.5 " thick. That was before my do it now with cash discount.

Blown on insulation costs about blew my mind
I am in NY. The type of insulation eludes me at the moment, I have the spec sheet at the office. There is a disclaimer form with it that states it must have a mimimum of .5" drywall over it due to it's propensity to burn. My shop area is 20x40 with 14' ceilings. The ceiling is insulated with fiberglass. There are two 3x5 windows, a 9x9 door and one entrance door in the room. One 40' length of wall is an interrior studded type and will be covered with fiberglass. So I calculate the area to be just over 1000 sq. ft...Something is awry with the estimates. The 1.5" should have cost around 800 dollars for the shop area. The place is a bit too high pressure and anxious, not to mention way off in thier quote.
