I called for a quote for 3 walls in my house. One wall was 22'x9' other was 16'x9' and the last one was 11'x9' these where all about 8" deep. This was in the lower level of a Quad-level so the wall were built out some for the top 7'. Anyways they told me about $450 problem was they would not come out to do a job for under a $1,000. To much setup etc.
There is a at home kit you can get. http://www.tigerfoam.com/
I believe John used it and talked about it in a old journal.

I'm a big fan of the cellulose. I am amazed at the performance, wont burn, mildew and resist pests. Foam is supposed to be even better. Foam you can blow on ceilings where as cellulose you hang the rock on the ceiling and than blow, foam IMO is a better way to go for that. May have to just price it out and make the decision from there but one thing is for sure, fiberglass is so inferior to foam and cellulose, The last thing you wanna do is compromise on insulation.
Spray foam is great stuff, expensive but worth it. But if you can't find anyone locally might be out of luck.
On my cabin all the quotes were over 5K for a job that would cost 2K in town.
Nobody wanted to go up there to do it, so they jacked up the bid so I'd go away.
That was 7 years ago, now days they might knock each other over for a job.

For the ceiling, I second the comment from Amazza76. I just did a 1400 sf garage to R19with the Atticat fiberglass blow-in insulation from Home Depot. Total cost was $425, and my wife and I completed this New Years Day in under than two hours.

A good friend of mine built a house outside of Madison and had the exterior walls sprayed. I think they did 2" Spray with a bat overlay. Spray foam is a R6 value per 1" so you really don't need a ton of foam. So the differance in price could be based onthe tickness.
Are you planning on spraying the the foam at the roof or do plan on spraying between the ties? What about foam board on the ceiling and wedged between the rafters I know it not cheap to do it that way but it could be an option that you could do on your own.
