I apologise if this is posted in the wrong thread.

TIA .. Paul
We used a company out of Spring Hill/Ocala, Thermal Solutions, they do blow in, spray, and batt. What I found in the sunroom above the vinyl ceiling was "nothing", so I decked above the trusses with OSB, then foam board, then the company put batt insulation above that. Blow in above the garage ceiling, and topped off the rest of the house. Wasn't cheap but hopefully it will pay off in the long run. I also installed solar attic fans with the solar guys. You will definitely want to do the garage door. This has all happened in the last week and a half or two so cannot tell you end results! Hopefully it helps my situation.
