Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited this home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. Upon inspection, Rich found a few areas where the home was losing heat. One of the main areas that needed to be addressed was the attic insulation, as it was old and lacking the proper depth to achieve the desired R-value.
A DBS production crew removed the existing attic insulation and applied blown-in insulation to the proper depth for a strong R-value standard.
