We added window tinting and a radiant heat barrier throughout the house and garage along with a solar fan and an attic fan. They claim is R 19. We also put a reflective barrier on the inside of the garage door. That really helps. We turn on the attic fan when it cools down at night by using a timer. I can't tell you how much cooler it is right now as we are back up north for the summer.
