Insulation Quote Template
R-value, coverage, air sealing and the rebate you will file. Free PDF, no sign-up.
Insulation is sold as a number the client cannot verify by looking at it, which is exactly why the quote has to be specific. R-value, depth, coverage area and product are the whole document, and all four are known before the first bag is opened. A quote that says "insulate attic" and gives a price is asking for trust it has not earned; one that says R-49, 1,850 square feet, blown cellulose to marked depth rulers has already made its case.

What this quote commits you to
- How long it stands
- 30 days, at the foam supplier's current drum price; blown cellulose is held for the same window.
- What it does not cover
- Air sealing beyond the penetrations listed, vapour barriers an inspector adds afterwards, knob-and-tube remediation, and any drywall cut to gain access.
- What would change the price
- An attic that measures deeper than the plan, or a knee wall found open to the eaves — both change the bag count rather than the rate.
- How the client accepts it
- Accept by signing the quote; the rebate paperwork we file on your behalf is prepared from the accepted version of it.

When the work is done, invoice it
What to put on an insulation quote
- R-value and the installed depth that produces it, per area
- Coverage area by square foot, and depth rulers left in place as proof
- The product by name: blown cellulose, fibreglass batt, open or closed cell foam
- Air sealing listed as its own line — it is the work that makes the R-value real
- Baffles, dam boxes at can lights, and attic hatch treatment
- Ventilation kept clear at the soffit, stated as part of the scope
- The rebate programme you will file for, and what the client has to sign for it
Questions
Why price air sealing separately from insulation?
Because they are separate work with separate value, and bundling them lets a cheaper competitor look like they quoted the same job. Sealing the top plates and penetrations first is what stops the new insulation being a filter for warm air.
How does spray foam change what the quote must say?
Closed-cell foam is priced by board foot from a drum, so the quote should carry the board-foot count and the thickness. It is also the one product where re-entry time and ventilation matter to the household, and the quote is the right place to say how long they need to be out.
Who claims the rebate?
Say so on the document. If you file it, the client needs to sign a release and know the money reaches them later; if they file it, they need the product data sheet and the invoice in a particular form, and finding that out afterwards is how rebates get missed.
About the free quote generator
Is this quote generator really free?
Yes. There is no fee, no trial period and no watermark on the PDF. Nothing on this page requires a credit card.
What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?
A quote is a fixed price you are offering to hold, and it is binding on you once the client accepts it. An estimate is your best projection of the cost and can move if the job does. If the scope is not settled yet, send an estimate instead.
Is a quote legally binding?
Once a client accepts it within the period it stands, a quote generally forms a contract at that price — the details depend on your jurisdiction and on what the document itself says. That is why the price, the scope and the exclusions all belong in writing, and why the document prints the date the offer expires.
How long should a quote be valid until?
Thirty days is the common default, and two weeks is sensible when materials prices are moving. Whatever you choose, state it on the quote: an offer with no expiry is an offer you have made for ever.
Can I raise the price after the client accepts?
Not unilaterally, which is the point of quoting rather than estimating. What you can do is price the variations the client asks for afterwards, provided the quote said what was and was not included.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Fill in the form and download the PDF directly — there is no sign-up and no login for this tool.
Can the client accept the quote online?
Not from a downloaded PDF. Saving the quote to an account gives it a link the client opens and answers on, and the acceptance is recorded against the document rather than living in an email thread.
Can I use this for any currency or country?
Yes. Choose any currency and country for either party — the totals and formatting follow your selection.
