Default Blown-in Insulation

HI Everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has had good luck with Blown-in-Insulation? My house is 85 yrs old and while I had the bathroom redone...we saw the old black insulation only on the bottom quarter of the walls. Anyway...I have had 2 contractors tell me that they can take the vinyl siding off at the top (and no, did not use insulating foam between wood siding and vinyl-dumb mistake).
Then they would drill holes in the wood siding (cringe) and blow in the insulation. The reason I cringe...old wood siding still good shape at top. Hate to put holes in there.
The older I get, the more colder I get in the winter.
So...again any help or info on this would be great. Would like to hear personal experience before I do this in the spring!

Thanks and have a great day!
