Attic insulation removal and replacement cost in Covedale
Pricing breakdown for damaged insulation removal and blown in insulation replacement
Your Covedale attic insulation has been damaged by pests, water, fire, or mold. You need it removed and replaced, but you want to know what you're looking at cost-wise before making any calls. Most West Price Hill homes built in the early 20th century weren't designed for today's insulation standards anyway.
Damaged attic insulation needs complete removal before new material goes in. Whether it's pest contamination, water damage, fire damage, or mold, the old insulation has to come out entirely. Partial removal doesn't work because contaminants spread through the material.
Removal typically costs $1 to $2 per square foot. Replacement with blown in insulation adds another $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the R-value you choose. For a typical 1,000 to 1,500 square foot Covedale attic, expect total costs between $3,000 and $10,000. Jobs requiring sanitation or pest cleanup cost more.

What people in Covedale say
"THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE."
"I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day."
"I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!"
