DIY can save you money but attics can be uncomfortable areas to work. Follow these steps if you plan to DIY your attic insulation.
1. Wear old clothes and have basic protective gear on hand (gloves, glasses, dust mask, and a hat)
2. Measure the square footage of the attic floor to calculate how much insulation to buy
3. Use spray foam insulation and flexible caulk to seal the attic floor before laying insulation

Hiring a professional may cost more than DIY but can save time and hassle. If you’re hiring a professional, remember these helpful tips:
1. Get estimates in writing
2. Ask the professional to seal the attic floor before laying insulation
