Blown-in attic insulation cost in Florence, KY
Real pricing for blown attic insulation jobs in Florence. No guessing, no surprises.
You got three quotes for blown-in insulation and they're all over the map. One contractor quoted $1,200, another said $3,800, and the third won't give you a number until they measure. Florence homes built in the 80s and 90s often have minimal attic insulation, so you're probably looking at a full install.
Blown-in fiberglass insulation costs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot installed in Florence. The wide price range comes from different R-values (insulation thickness) and attic access difficulty. Most Florence homes need R-38 to R-49 insulation to meet current energy standards.
For a typical 1,200 square foot attic, expect to pay $1,800 to $3,600 total. Smaller jobs cost more per square foot due to setup time. Difficult access through pull-down stairs or tight crawl spaces adds $200 to $500. Houses near I-75 with vaulted ceilings or multiple levels take longer and cost more.
Get at least three written quotes that specify the R-value and square footage. Ask each contractor to measure your attic and explain their pricing. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has installed blown insulation in Florence since 1988 and provides detailed estimates with R-value specifications. Avoid quotes that seem too low - they often mean thinner insulation that won't perform.
Once installed, your energy bills should drop 15-30% within the first year. Your second floor will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The insulation typically pays for itself in 3-5 years through lower utility costs.
What people in Florence 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!"

Don't disturb the plaster until you know what you're dealing with. Have a licensed asbestos inspector take a sample and send it to an accredited lab for testing — this is the only way to know for sure. If asbestos is confirmed, contact a certified asbestos abatement contractor to handle removal safely. Never sand, scrape, or drill into suspected asbestos plaster on your own.
