That is a very sore subject for me... About a year ago, I (as a conduit for the HOA) arranged for a FREE energy audit for the entire development. In addition to all the freebies that we all got from the utility company, we got a quote for insulating the ENTIRE garage ceiling - about 9000 square...

A bit of an update... I got a quote of just over $5k to apply 5" of CC over 800 sq ft. He won't have to tear out the entire ceiling - just several 3'x3' sections to allow him to apply the CC fully over the 800 sq ft area. Also, it's not likely that any pipes or wiring will have to be covered...
