Home Insulation Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Eveleth, MN reached out to DBS for help insulating their detached garage. Their goal was to make the garage warmer during the cold winter months.

Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Hunter recommended using closed cell spray foam to increase the energy-efficiency of this space. A DBS foreman and their production crew worked hard to install the insulation. 

This garage is now healthy, safe and temperature controlled all year round!

Homeowners in Two Harbors, MN reached out to DBS for help insulating their garage. 

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. After measuring energy loss in the garage closed cell spray foam was recommended to decrease heating and cooling costs. A DBS Foreman and their production crew worked hard to install the spray foam. 

This garage is now healthy, safe, and comfortable during all four seasons! 

This 1930's home had been cold and drafty since the family moved in in the 90's. Cold floors and rooms lead to discomfort during cold Wisconsin winters. Additionally, heat was escaping via the attic causing ice dams and condensation problems in the upper living space. After working with DBS a few years back on another project, they decided to have us completely re-insulate their attic. 

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is an expert in our Dr. Energy Saver® insulation services. He visited the home to take thorough measurements of the attic space, targeting heat loss with a thermal imaging camera. Nick Woods II and his insulation team installed a combination of spray foam to air seal and insulate the roof deck as well as 18 inches of Tru-Soft™ cellulose. 

The home owners will soon see a reduction in energy bills and increase in whole-home comfort!

Owners recently purchased this 1960s home in Saginaw, MN. They noticed immediately that propane costs were high and that ice dams were present on the roof. Wanting to save energy and make their home more comfortable, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for the work.

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided an inspection and thorough estimate for the attic insulation project. To prevent any leaking from ice dams in the future, Henry suggested air sealing the attic floor and re-insulating it. DBS Foreman Nick Woods II lead the attic insulation crew. They added Tru-Soft™ cellulose to the attic after air sealing, to provide a solid radiant barrier. This will, in turn, prevent warm air from escaping from the living space through the attic. This insulation method also prevents the space from heating up too much during the summer months.

The homeowners were happy with the work our insulation crew did and now have a solid solution to stand up to cold Minnesota winters.

These homeowners in Eveleth, MN reached out to DBS for help insulating the piping system in their home. During the winter multiple pipes were freezing which resulted in water damage and stress for the homeowner. They wanted a permanent home performance solution when they reached out to DBS. 

A DBS Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home and performing infrared heat measuring tests it was concluded that the walls did not have proper insulation. DBS has a solution called dense-packed insulation which does not require drywall removal and dramatically increases the efficiency of the home. Small 1-inch ports are cut into the home and Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation is applied inside the walls. After the insulation is installed the holes are covered with siding and are completely hidden! This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable with safe pipes all year round!
