What does this include?
Insulation type (blown-in cellulose, fibreglass batt, open-cell spray foam, closed-cell spray foam), area to be insulated, desired R-value, accessibility, whether existing insulation needs removal, moisture barriers required, and building code requirements. Closed-cell spray foam is the most expensive but provides the highest R-value per inch (R-6.5) plus acts as a vapour barrier. Government rebates through Enbridge and the Canada Greener Homes program can offset 15-25% of costs.
