Home Insulation Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Duluth, MN were in the process of finishing their garage but needed a solution for insulation to be able to use the space year-round. 

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. Because the garage already had drywall up, our production crew drilled holes into the drywall and dense-packed it with our ultra-dense Tru-Soft™ cellulose. This insulation is fire-resistant and has an R-value much higher than fiberglass, and most rigid foam insulations. 

These homeowners can now enjoy a comfortable garage space year-round for projects, and all their storage needs. 

This Superior, WI home had an attic that wasn't properly insulated. When warm air from the home met the cold attic, condensation was forming. In turn, this was causing damage to the insulation and the living space below it. After receiving a recommendation from a home inspector, the home owner contacted DBS for a solution.

One of our Design Specialists trained in whole-home energy went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After the inspection, it was determined that a variety of our Dr. Energy Saver® products would be used to seal the space. 

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew partially removed the existing insulation, then sealed the chimney with metal flashing, wrapping it in rock wool. From there, they blew-in around 17 inches of TruSoft™ cellulose insulation to provide a radiant barrier that would match even the coldest Wisconsin winter temperatures.

Sealing the attic was key to prevent warm air from escaping the home, and improving the overall energy health of the space. 

This home is set in the forest near Grand Rapids, MN. With the average high temperature at 18F and the average low at -3F in January, this home needed more insulation support. When warm air from the home met the cold attic, condensation was forming, and creating ice dams in the winter. After learning about us from an ad on local TV, the home owner contacted DBS for more information on our Dr. Energy Saver® products.

One of our Design Specialists trained in whole-home energy went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After the inspection, it was determined that due to the unique architectural properties in the home, a variety of our insulation's would be needed.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew partially removed the existing insulation. They used closed-cell spray foam in several areas, as well as our TerraBlock™ foam insulation infused with graphite. From there, they blew-in around 17 inches of TruSoft™ cellulose insulation, the cathedral-style ceiling, as well as dense-packed insulation in the walls to provide a radiant barrier that would be sure to stand up to even the coldest winter temperatures.

The homeowner was happy with the work done to prevent warm air from escaping the home, and improving the overall energy health of the space. 

A Gilbert, MN homeowner was in need of a solution to curb high energy bills. They were using a whopping 400 gallons of propane monthly to heat their home throughout the winter. In order to gain insight on a more sustainable solution for year-round living, they contacted DBS.

Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for our insulation services. Henry determined that adding our Tru-Soft™ cellulose would provide tremendous support in the home's radiant barrier. 

Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his crew production crew drilled holes into the drywall in several areas throughout the home to prep for dense packing. Once the insulation was blown into place, our crews add a temporary patch to be replaced with a more permanent wall patch by the homeowner.

Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation is fire-resistant and has an R-value much higher than fiberglass, and most rigid foam insulations. This homeowner was thrilled with the work done to improve conditions in their home and lower their sky-high heating bills. 

Homeowners in Duluth, MN were having issues with ice dams building up during winter months. They contacted us specifically looking for solutions to preventing ice dams from forming in the first place.

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation project. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that spray foam insulation and blown-in insulation in the attic were necessary to effectively insulate the space.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg began this insulation job by removing the existing fiberglass batting. His crew then completely air sealed the space with ZypFoam, concentrating on gaps in the building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts. 

They then used our TruSoft™ cellulose, covering the roof deck in 18-inches of soft, yet dense insulation. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials, perfect for use in our northern climate. Tru-Soft™ cellulose is extra dense and made from recycled news paper. It's treated to be extremely resistant to heat and fire, making it a great companion for an attic space. 

This home is now properly equipped to handle warm Minnesota summers and freezing winters with new attic insulation.
