Austin attic insulation, radiant barrier and ventilation
An Austin attic hits 140 degrees in August, and the ceiling below it is the biggest single load on your air conditioner. Most homes built before 2000 here are well under the R-38 the current code targets.
Serving Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Leander, and select surrounding communities.
What insulation and attics costs in Austin
Blown-in insulation runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot in Austin, radiant barrier $0.75 to $1.75, and attic air sealing packages $600 to $2,000.
Ranges are typical Austin-area pricing for planning only, not a quote.
