Blown Insulation Estimating

Problem

Blown insulation price is too high in MacNail construction estimating software for home builders and remodelers.

Diagnosis

our numbers are for remodeling and rehab work--drill holes, blow insulation, plug & patch holes. New work will be much cheaper.

Solution

Labor cost for new insulation work is probably about 50% that for retrofit.
