Home Insulation Before & After Photos

A property owner reached out to DBS for help with an insulation project. The lower level of his lake-facing rental property was experiencing moisture due to poor insulation. 

DBS Design Specialist, Austin Burley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Austin recommended dense packing the walls. Dense packing is an effective form of insulating where a small section of siding is removed and insulation is inserted into the walls from outside the home. No internal work is required and it offers a solid and effective insulation solution. 

Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew worked hard to install the insulation. The result is lower heating and cooling bills, reduced moisture, and a permanent solution to an energy problem. 

After extending their floorplan and putting a new roof on their cabin, these customers wanted to re-insulate.

DBS Design Specialist Austin Burley visited the home and provided an estimate for the attic re-insulation project. He designed a custom plan that would air seal the attic, and include new cellulose insulation. 

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II led the install of this attic insulation project. The crew applied closed-cell spray foam to the old roof, sealing gaps, cracks, and holes. From there, they installed TruSoft cellulose. This lightweight, yet dense insulation is made from recycled newspapers and coated with a non-toxic formula that is resistant to pests and fire. 

After a successful attic insulation like this one, the homeowners should expect increased comfort and reduced energy bills. 

After connecting energy issues to their under-insulated attic, Duluth, MN homeowners contacted DBS for more information about our Dr. Energy Saver® insulation service.

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II led the install of this attic insulation project. The crew applied closed-cell spray foam to the attic deck sealing gaps, cracks, and holes. They also wrapped the chimney in rock wool and sealed the base. From there, they installed TruSoft cellulose. This lightweight, yet dense insulation is made from recycled newspapers and coated with a non-toxic formula that is resistant to pests and fire.

The owners of this home in Duluth, MN recently replaced their old roof that had snow melting constantly. Now that they have the new roof installed, they were interested in a more energy-efficient insulation solution to keep heat inside of their home. The owners reached out to DBS after being referred to us by a friend.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Henry educated the owners on the insulation solution offered by DBS.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they air-sealed every gap in the attic with ZypFoam™ where air could leak from such as floorboards, light fixtures, and the entrance hatch. Then a layer of spray foam was sprayed onto the flooring to completely seal the flooring off before they covered the attic in 17" of blown-in Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. A benefit of insulation made from cellulose is that it is saturated with a borate solution for fire retardancy and also makes it resistant to mold and insects.

Now that the attic has been properly insulated, the homeowners will be able to relax comfortably as their homes will feel warmer while their energy bills decrease.

These homeowners in Duluth, MN noticed a musty smell coming from their crawl space, as well as cold floors in the winter months. They wanted to address these problems, so they trusted DBS with their home's needs.

Design Specialist Austin Burley assisted the homeowners with a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the right solution for their homes. After a careful inspection, Austin provided a quote and recommended using SprayFoam to insulate their crawl space. 

Foreman Evan LaFontaine led the installation of this project along with a team. Together, the team used Dr. Energy Saver's SprayFoam to insulate the area. SprayFoam is a very efficient insulator and is able to air seal any holes or cracks that are allowing unwanted airflow in or out of the space. It is also moisture resistant, making sure the space will stay dry and free of the musty smell. Finally, the team installed the CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the floor of the crawl space to transform it into a clean, dry storage area for the homeowners.

These homeowners can now enjoy their home year-round and do not have to worry about moisture causing problems.
