I hate to post this but this subject is fairly new to me when it comes to pricing for the attic restoration of a single level house. The attic measurements are 30' x 60'. The house is a single story brick house located in a medium income district. Approximate value around $85,000.The existing insulation (what's left of it) is going to be completely removed after all of the raccoon feces has been removed first.

I've read EVERY proper method of protocol I can find concerning the safety factors involve including ALL PPE and have had some smaller jobs I've done that didn't involve insurance companies paying for the service..

Apparently raccoon have run rampant through this attic for years and I just removed my 10th one the other day. I realize all the discarded matter needs treated as a biohazard waste and have made provisions for it.

My quote will include all clean up, sanitization and deodorization of the attic and its living quarters. I have a full sized atomizer but have only used it on skunk spraying jobs up to this point. I've been doing ADC work for several years but am somewhat of a rookie towards pricing this job and figuring up the length of time that will be involved. I am working with the client's insurance company and will be having an outside contractor supplying me a quote on the reinsulation as I won't be doing that portion of it. I don't want to overbid and have the insurance company seek other venues but this is going to be a time-consuming and unpleasant job and I also want to make it worth my time. What is typical for the insurance companies to pay for these jobs?

Just a ballpark figure and a few guidelines would greatly help. If you would rather PM or call me that is fine. 419-307-7825. I sincerely appreciate any tips or guidelines you guys can relay to me.

Here's a few pics:

1............ Sanitation will require steam
2............Blown in insulation "cost" 1.05 per square foot here
3............Disinfectant can not be atomized unless it is labeled to be......(MSDS?? think that is it?)
4.............Are you repairing entry areas??
5............access........???????????
6............6248.50 plus tax without insurance,,,,,,,
7............HAVE "YOU" contacted there is
insurance agent,,,,,and went to the next level when you got refused????? 8,

Valid information Vinke.

I won't be doing the reinsulation portion of the job but I will be installing galvanized 1 x 1 along the entire perimeter under the soffit area cover all of the eaves openings. This is where they have gained entry.

Access is readily availabe with a built in ladder to the attic.

6248.50 include the reinsulation portion I'm guessing?

I have contacted the insurance agent and will be giving my final quote this Friday.

Thanks you for your time sir.

May I ask Why your going to sub out the Insulation? Thats the easy part.

Looks to me like the drywall should be replaced as well. That's the part I'd sib out.

Have no experience in blown insulation. Probably something I'll want to learn or expand on in time.

My quick formula says 6400.00 and that would include putting it back in. I also sub out the insulation for liability reasons. I noticed in your original post you said remove the feces and than the insulation. I hope you plan on using a vacuum to remove it all at the same time.

This whole insurance/attic restoration is something that I missed in my time off. We talked about it years ago. What would you use? Some sort of Versa Vac?
