Home Insulation Before & After Photos

The new owners of this cabin discovered that there was little to no insulation in many areas of the structure. They intend on using the cabin year-round and with the cool midwest climate of Gordon, WI they knew they needed to find a solution. They called DBS for a free estimate.

Design Specialist Austin Burley ran the no-obligation estimate for the owners. Upon completion of a thorough interview, Austin informed the owners about the insulation services that DBS could install to fix their issues.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project. With assistance from a crew, they installed Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation in the attic and in another area of a house with a cathedral-style ceiling. They sealed the basement ceiling with polyurethane spray foam to properly air-seal the space. The crew also applied spray foam to the attic before blowing in Tru-Soft™. The crawl space underneath the cabin will also be properly insulated in the future with our 3-layer crawl space encapsulation process.

Now that the home has been properly insulated, the owners will be able to enjoy their new cabin year-round and begin renovating the inside to create an even comfier space for their family.

Before tackling cold garage projects, a homeowner in Lakeville, MN faced a chilly attic above their garage. The initial photo shows a space in need of transformation. To ensure a comfortable workspace for year-round car maintenance, the homeowner sought our expertise. We addressed the issue with a professional installation of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, as highlighted in the after photo. This upgrade not only enhances functionality but also maintains a cozy 40-50 degree temperature, demonstrating that comfort and hobbies can thrive regardless of the season.

A homeowner in Bayfield, WI contacted DBS regarding an insulation issue. The basement of their home was unfinished, and the fiberglass insulation was not sufficient enough to keep the area warm and energy-saving. In need of a solution, a design specialist went to inspect the property and give a free,no-obligation estimate for the insulation service. It was decided that the rim joist would need spray foam insulation to better seal off any cold,drafty air from entering the basement area. Spray foam is an optimal solution for better home insulation, and will now help this homeowner save energy and stay warm during the frigid winter months. 

Unsealed crawl spaces cause a host of issues. This cabin in Bayfield, WI had cold, drafty floors and issues with mice. Wanting a permanent solution to this issue, the cabin owner contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for crawl space encapsulation.

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is an expert in insulation and home energy. He visited the cabin and after a thorough inspection, designed a plan that would restore comfort to the residents.

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II led this crawl space insulation project. After the insulation was removed, our crew installed spray foam onto the vertical crawl space walls. Closed-cell spray foam expands once applied to fill any gaps and seal the space from the outside air. Our team also fit the crawl space with a custom entry hatch, sealed with rigid foam insulation.

The cabin owner was happy with the work done and looks forward to year-round comfort!

The owners of this home in Washburn, WI were having issues keeping their basement warm. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding an energy-efficient solution.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. Rich informed that the issue was caused by improperly sealed rim joists in their basement. Cold air would continue to leak in through the rim joists if left alone.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this project with help from his crew. Together they sprayed waterproof polyurethane foam into each rim joist of the home. The spray foam air seals the space as it expands when applied. Read this article to learn more about rim joists and how DBS can thoroughly insulate your basement.

Now that the rim joists have been air-sealed, the homeowners will be able to relax comfortably in their homes without paying high heating bills.
