I know this is a 2 month old post but thought I'd add one more point: Why does the insulation contractor care? He doesn't fail electrical insp. NEC and NEMA violations are irrevelent to him as long as he can back up/substantiate his answer that it's "code compliant"; after all, he just did what the customer wanted.
(I've had this prob on a smaller scale and I don't agree with him, just playing devil's advocate)

I’m just wondering what code in particular the guy was referring to though... when he told the homeowner that it was in compliance.

Maybe it's the super secret handyman insulation code smile

I think it was the "Code of the Handymen".

It goes like this:
"If I say that it doesn't meet Code, they won't pay me to do it; when they find someone who tells them what they want to hear, they'll pay HIM instead of me".
