Complete guide to insulation topping costs, including material prices, labor expenses, and potential energy savings for Dallas/Fort Worth homeowners.
Topping off insulation means adding additional insulation material over your existing attic insulation to increase its R-value and improve energy efficiency. This is typically done when your current insulation has settled, deteriorated, or simply isn't thick enough to meet current energy standards.
