Memphis Insulation: The Hidden Hero of Home Performance

In Memphis, insulation is crucial for managing energy costs, especially with the region's humid summers and cold snaps. Quality insulation can save homeowners significant amounts on energy bills. Current installation costs for batt insulation range from $650 to $1200 per opening, depending on the specifics of the project. CountBricks simplifies the process, providing accurate material lists and labor estimates quickly.

Why Batt Insulation Still Reigns in Residential Construction

  • Fits standard 16 in. or 24 in. joist spacing
  • Familiar installation process for local crews
  • Cost-effective compared to spray foam
  • Easy inspection approval when installed correctly

CountBricks enhances batt insulation's viability by streamlining the estimating process with real-time pricing and compliance checks.

Climate Challenges Unique to Memphis

Memphis, located in Climate Zone 3, faces challenges like humidity and ice storms. Proper insulation prevents moisture issues and reduces utility bills. CountBricks includes dew-point checks in every estimate, ensuring optimal R-value and vapor retarder placement.
