I thought about installing insulation in the garage ceiling, but one of the first things we did was put in attic steps and plywood flooring so we could have more storage. With only a 1-1/2 car garage storage is a premium. With the flooring and probably 20 boxes already up there I didn't proceed. I did put the silver bubble wrap (R3) on the inside of the garage door. During the day we usually just keep the garage door up, that way it's the same temp as it is outside and helps with air flowing up through the attic steps. The garage screen is white and it's almost impossible to see in, so you still have some privacy and security.
