Are you planning on doing this yourself? Please be careful and use the proper breathing equipment, etc.
If you are looking to have someone do it for you (better option IMHO), then ask who did a good/great job, contact to top 2 or 3 and get competitive quotes. Also if you have a newer house, call home warranty, and ask who did the insulation initially, they may give you a good price.

I agree. This may be a DIY project up north where most attics are accessible. But, here in The Villages, you need special equipment to pump insulation into the attic space, which is very confined, obstructed, and very hot.

You may try The Solar Guys, 352-616-7481. Most people seem to like them for solar tubes, but, I think they also install attic insulation.
