[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3230260, member: 25679"] I built a house and wanted the foam insulation and the guy quoted me around $5,000 so I went with netting and blown-in fiberglass which was around $12,300 if I remember correctly. The guy that was going to foam would spray the foam in and use some sort of a knife to trim it flush with the 2X4's which would be like living in a styrofoam ice chest. We sold out after 11 years and moved into a larger home and it gets cold in the winter due to air leaks so we called an insulation company and they were going to charge $2,000 to vacuum all the blown-in insulation out of the attic before they sprayed the foam. Then the guy was going to build a wall around our non-efficient furnace for ventilation and spray the underside of the roof which was another $3,000. We backed out and the wife would rather sell and buy an energy efficient home elsewhere but we haven't moved yet... Oh yeah, the guy that was going to do the foam on the house I built said that his highest electric bill in the summer was $28.00 so take that with a grain of salt. [/QUOTE]
