Home Insulation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Lake Elmo, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their cold basement. One of our Design Specialists provided the homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate for our Spray Foam Insulation Service after a thorough inspection of the basement. One of our crews applied the spray foam insulation generously about the walls of the basement to help thoroughly insulate the space. Now the homeowner can relax in a healthy, safe, and comfortable home!

The homeowner in this case had been noticing worsening ice damming over the past few years, especially along certain areas of the exterior of their home. After investigating the issue by looking inside the knee walls, they found that the insulation was either lacking or insufficient, which was likely contributing to the ice damming problem. With plans to pass the house down to their daughter, the homeowner wanted to address this issue once and for all, ensuring the home would be properly insulated and protected for years to come.

Our team tackled the issue by installing 18" of TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation in the attic floor, along with baffles to ensure proper airflow and ventilation. We also applied closed-cell spray foam in critical areas where additional insulation was needed to seal gaps and prevent heat loss. The result? A well-insulated attic space with improved airflow, significantly reducing the risk of ice dams. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing the home is more energy-efficient, and they can confidently pass it on to the next generation with no worries about insulation or ice damming issues. The house is now prepared for winter’s challenges, with lasting protection in place.

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.

The owner of this pole barn in Bayfield, WI reached out to us looking for help sealing gaps in the structure that were letting in cold air.

A DBS Design Specialist went out to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist created a quote for our polyurethane spray foam insulation to seal the cracks.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they applied the spray foam along the seam where the barn walls and slab meet.

Now that the pole barn has been properly insulated, the owner can relax with peace of mind.
