Minnesota’s temperature swings are legendary—triple-digit heat in July, sub-zero wind chills in January. Without high-performing attic insulation, that climate abuse sneaks straight into your living spaces and your energy bills. CountBricks has spent years helping Twin Cities homeowners seal the envelope and slash utility costs. Our AI-powered estimating platform delivers precise, on-site numbers in minutes, so you can move from “should we?” to “let’s do it” before the house loses another degree.
Homeowners searching “attic insulation mn” want two things:
• A clear cost range specific to Minnesota’s codes and climate
• A trustworthy contractor who can start soon and finish fast
CountBricks answers both needs. By pairing real-time material pricing with automated labor calculations, our voice-driven system turns a 90-minute sales call into a 15-minute conversation and delivers a ready-to-sign proposal on the spot.
Picture this: our estimator walks your attic with a Bluetooth headset. As they measure joist spacing, R-value, and ventilation, they simply speak the numbers. CountBricks AI converts speech to data, matches it with today’s insulation prices, and produces an itemized quote before the ladder is folded away.
If you have digital plans, upload them to CountBricks.com/blueprints. Our machine-learning engine extracts square footage, slope breaks, and obstruction counts, then feeds those figures straight into the cost model—no manual counting, no missed corners.
• Materials: Fiberglass, cellulose, or spray foam—our database refreshes every 24 hours with supplier pricing across Minnesota.
• Labor: Wage rates update quarterly, accounting for union scales and seasonal demand.
• Equipment: Blowers, vacuums, and safety gear are auto-itemized so you see the full picture, not an optimistic teaser.
Fiberglass Batts
• Quick to install, cost-effective for open joists
• R-value per inch: ~3.2
Loose-Fill Cellulose
• Excellent coverage around wiring and trusses
• R-value per inch: ~3.6
Closed-Cell Spray Foam

• Acts as moisture barrier—great for lake homes

• Minnesota Energy Code targets R-49 minimum in attics; CountBricks routinely designs to R-60 for better frost protection.
• Utility rebates can offset up to 30 % of project costs. Our software flags eligible incentives and auto-fills paperwork, saving you hours of forms.
Last December, the Larson family’s 1960 rambler shivered at 62 °F even with the furnace maxed. CountBricks scanned the attic and found only R-19 of sagging fiberglass. Within two hours the Larsons received three side-by-side quotes, chose cellulose, and booked install for the following week. After a one-day retrofit to R-60, their January gas bill dropped 32 %.

Most projects wrap in a single day. Spray foam may need an extra curing window.
No. Our negative-pressure vacuums contain dust, and crews enter through the roof or garage to minimize disruption.
CountBricks archives your attic model in the cloud. Whenever you add a dormer or raise the roofline, we update quantities in minutes.
• Schedule installs between September and November; crews are less booked and prices softer before deep winter.
• Combine insulation with air sealing of rim joists for a multiplier effect on comfort.
• Ask your insurance agent—improved insulation can sometimes lower premium risk ratings.
Stop guessing and start saving. Visit CountBricks.com/consultation, pick a time, and get an airtight plan—literally—within the week.
Many contractors blow in insulation and call it a day. CountBricks goes further by proving the results.
1. Infrared Scan: Immediately after install, our tech uses a calibrated FLIR camera to locate any cold bridges. If a joist bay shows deviation, we top it up before leaving.
2. Blower-Door Test: We depressurize the home to 50 Pa and measure air changes per hour (ACH). Typical pre-retrofit ACH in Minneapolis bungalows is 8-10. CountBricks targets 4 or below, indicating a tight envelope.
3. 30-Day Utility Audit: Your CountBricks dashboard syncs with your utility account. We compare weather-normalized energy use before and after the project to confirm projected savings.
A 1940s log cabin faced relentless North Shore winds. Closed-cell spray foam applied by CountBricks cut ACH from 12.3 to 3.7, eliminated ice dams, and reduced propane delivery frequency by half. The owner now rents the cabin year-round thanks to consistent interior temps—an ROI win beyond energy savings.
• Transparency: You see quantifiable proof, not marketing promises.
• Compliance: Reports satisfy Minnesota Energy Code documentation and qualify for expanded rebates.
• Future Planning: The data becomes your baseline for window or HVAC upgrades, letting CountBricks model additional ROI scenarios instantly.
