Do I really need new insulation if I'm getting new siding?
This is a common question, and the quick answer is: usually, yes. When we pull off old siding, especially on older homes in neighborhoods like Old West Lawrence or Pinckney, we often find insulation that's barely there, has settled, or is just plain ancient. Today's insulation technology is miles ahead of what it used to be. If you're already putting money into new siding, which is a pretty big exterior job, then it's absolutely the best moment to take care of your wall insulation. We've already got the wall cavity exposed, so adding insulation then saves you a huge amount of trouble and money compared to doing it as a separate project later on. You're essentially getting two major home improvements for the labor cost of opening up the exterior once, you know?
