Home Insulation Photo Album: Dr. Energy Saver® Cabin Insulation Improvement In Makinen, Minnesota

These homeowners in Makinen, MN reached out to DBS for help with making their cabin more energy efficient. Rising heating and cooling costs were an issue in this cabin and the homeowners wanted a permanent solution for the problem. A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit it was determined that closed cell spray foam would offer the best solution for the temperature regulation problem. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew. This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!

This home was equipped with R-19 fiberglass insulation before DBS installed closed cell spray foam. This lighter insulation was not holding up during our cold Minnesota winters.

Tricky Areas and Closed Cell Spray Foam

Closed cell spray foam is an effective solution for tight attics and crawl spaces. It does not have to be cut and fitted, which allows our production crews speed and precision when installing in tight areas like between joists.
