Attic insulation removal and replacement and spray foam for crawl spaces and rim joists are the two highest-ticket residential insulation categories. Air sealing paired with insulation increases average job values and improves energy results significantly. Many states offer utility rebates for insulation upgrades, which strengthens the homeowner ROI case and improves close rates when the rebate conversation is handled well on the initial call.
