Blown-in insulation quotes for Blaine and the north metro — attic top-ups, wall dense-pack, and air sealing. A local insulation contractor calls back with R-values and a price.
Cellulose or fiberglass on top of what you have — most metro attics are far below the R-49+ this climate calls for.
Air Sealing First
Sealing the leaks before burying them — the step cut-rate bids skip and honest ones insist on.
Wall Dense-Pack
Drill-and-fill for the 1950s-70s walls that never had enough in them.
Ice Dam Prevention
Insulation plus ventilation done right is the actual cure for the icicle wall — ask about the combo quote.
Ask about utility rebates before you sign. Metro gas and electric utilities routinely rebate insulation and air-sealing work, and Minnesota efficiency programs add more — a legitimate contractor will know which apply to your house.
