Should I remove my old attic insulation or just add more on top?
Remove the old insulation if there are signs of animals or pests, if it is more than about 10 years old, or if you want the attic air sealed properly. Air leaks in the attic floor can only be sealed fully once the old insulation is out. If none of those apply, adding insulation on top can work, and we check which it is at the free inspection.

Good Attic installs borate-treated cellulose in Utah attics. The borate treatment is there to resist pests, which most attics deal with at some point.
Can I insulate my attic myself, or should I hire a company?
A small top-off in a clean, easy-to-reach attic is a reasonable do-it-yourself job; anything involving old or contaminated insulation, air sealing or baffles is better done by a company. Tight spaces, wiring and recessed lights make many attics harder than they look from below. A free Good Attic inspection will tell you which kind of attic you have before you decide.
