Although Lowes is an excellent place to buy installation it is not an insulation contractor. You can safely install the insulation yourself. http://www.lowes.com/pl_Fiberglass+Insulation_4294858103_4294937087_?cm_cr=Insulation-_-Web+Activity-_-Insulation+Area+1+Activity-_-SC_Insulation++Accessories_Area1-_-22108_1_Fiberglass_Insulation
The actual function of an insulation contractor is that they can skillfully install thermal, vapor, smoke, and all other different sorts of insulation.

I believe a good salary for a insulation contractor would be around $60,000.00 per year, due to the physical labor and health risks that they sometimes incur.
In Florida you must have a licence to do any home repair improvement or construction. This could be a tradesman's licence or a certified contractor's licence. As a licenced contractor in Florida I know this. As an independent subcontractor for Lowes ( in Virginia) I also know that Lowes can require whatever they want. For Lowes you must have a Contractor's licence in VA as well as a business licence for the location in which you operate. DO NOT confuse legal requirements in any state with your relationship with a major retailer. Lowes can say as a term of agreement (NOT EMPLOYMENT) anything they want. You want to work for Lowes? Do what they say. Maddening-- YES Simple YES

If you know what your doing, sure. Home depot, and Lowes can give you supplies, but I recommend using a contractor, to be sure everything is up to code, and stuff is done right.
From everything I have seen it would be about 12 inches for conventional fiber glass insulation available from Home Depot or Lowes. Polyiso insulation can give up to r-6 per inch. That equates to 7 inches for r-42.
You can buy insulation boards from a variety of locations. Your local buildings merchant or home improvement store would be ideal. Otherwise you can order them online too.
