Planning tips for this checklist
Air sealing comes before depth
More insulation helps less when attic bypasses, recessed lights, ducts, plumbing stacks, and hatches leak air into the attic.
Moisture and ventilation matter
Roof leaks, blocked soffits, bath fans dumping into the attic, moldy odor, and ice dam history should be resolved before insulation is buried.
Compare installed scope
Ask each contractor to specify R-value, air sealing, baffles, material, square footage, cleanup, rebates, warranty, and post-install photos.
