How much does insulation cost in Coquitlam?
Most Canadian homeowners spend $1,800-$4,500 to insulate a typical attic in 2026 - a blown-in top-up to R-60, or about $1.50-$3.00 per square foot installed - with the average job landing near $2,800, before rebates. Batt insulation for walls runs a similar $1.50-$3.00/sq ft, while closed-cell spray foam is the premium option at $3.00-$7.00/sq ft. Whole-home spray-foam packages commonly run $3,000-$12,000.
In Coquitlam, BC, typical quotes tend to come in above the Canadian average, so the table below nudges these national figures up by roughly 15% at the low end of each range and up to 30% at the top end.
What moves the price: The low end is a blown-in attic top-up or basic batts; the top end is closed-cell spray foam and whole-home packages, plus removal of old insulation first.

|---|---|
| Blown-in attic insulation (loose-fill fibreglass or cellulose) | $2.50 $1.75 to $4 per sq ft |
| Blown-in attic top-up to R-60 - typical home (900-1,500 sq ft attic) | $3,400 $2,100 to $6,000 per project |
| Batt insulation (fibreglass or mineral wool) - walls | $2.75 $1.75 to $4 per sq ft |

| Closed-cell spray foam (2.0 lb) - basements, rim joists, cathedral ceilings | $5.50 $3.50 to $9 per sq ft |
| Basement wall insulation - full basement (800-1,000 sq ft) | $4,900 $2,900 to $8,500 per project |
| Remove old / contaminated insulation before re-insulating | $1.75 $1.25 to $3.25 per sq ft |

What changes the price of insulation in Coquitlam
- Area size and rebates: a bigger area costs more up front, but provincial and utility rebates can claw back $1,000 to $7,700 of the net cost in some provinces.
- Insulation type: batt is cheapest, blown-in is mid-priced, and closed-cell spray foam is the most expensive - often 2 to 4 times the cost of batt for the same area.
- R-value target: pushing an attic to R-60 versus a lighter R-40 top-up means more material and more depth, which adds cost.
- Removing old insulation: clean, dry insulation can usually be topped up, but wet, mouldy, rodent-damaged, or old vermiculite material must be removed first, adding roughly $1.00-$2.50 per sq ft (more if hazardous-material handling is needed).
- Attic access and layout: low-pitch roofs, tight crawl spaces, dormers, and multi-level attics slow the crew down and push labour up.
- Air sealing and prep: sealing gaps, adding vent baffles, and boxing out around pot lights and the attic hatch before insulating adds materials and time but is usually worth it.
How insulation prices vary across Canada
Toronto, Vancouver, and other big metros run roughly 10-25% higher than small-town and rural pricing, almost entirely on the labour portion - material costs barely move. One important caveat: attic insulation is heavily rebate-driven in the GTA, so some contractors advertise very low headline prices (as low as about $0.99 per sq ft) that already net out the rebate. Treat those as marketing figures, not the true base install cost - the real pre-rebate range still sits in the $1.50-$3.00 per sq ft band.
