In our climate zone, the attic is where the money is. Walls matter, rim joists matter more than people think, and the attic matters most.
Where to spend first
- Attic: bring it to R-49 or better
- Rim joists: seal and insulate — a cheap, high-return fix
- Walls: worth it during a siding or drywall project, rarely on its own
Stop by any of our four Central Michigan yards and a member of our staff will walk you through the options, pull real samples, and put together a material list you can build from.
