Look into full back foam fitted insulation along with new siding. The R-value will be the same as the blown in but unlike the blown in the full back insulation protects against thermal bridging as it envelopes the whole homes exterior. A quality siding will have this insulation, which should also be impregnated with some sort of natural insecticide so you wont need to worry about termites, bees, or any other bugs. If you go with a foam insulation I would make sure it is permeable. One problem with making homes very tight as that its not allowed to breath, which can cause mold when the moisture tries to escape and gets trapped in the dark warm wall cavity. The last thing you want to do is seal up your home in a non-permeable material. What kind of windows do you have? what did the company do to "fix" them, and how old are they?
