DBS Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Independence, MN had a sidewalk that was in great shape, with minimal cracking, but it had begun to sink. After having DBS perform foundation support on their garage, they also decided to have us help them with their sinking concrete.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. To lift and level the concrete, PolyLevel® was recommended. DBS Foreman Jason Foster and his production crew successfully installed and leveled the sidewalk using PolyLevel®. Once that was complete, they sealed the concrete using SealantPro. This material will protect the sidewalk from moisture, making it less prone to cracking over time.

These homeowners now have a safe, stable, and level sidewalk that will last for years to come! 

After living for many years in this 1950's Duluth, MN home, the owners needed a solution to their home's sidewalk. It had sunk and cracked to the point that water was pooling and freezing, causing very dangerous conditions for the owners, guests, and the mail carrier. They knew they needed to repair their concrete slab and reached out to DBS after a recommendation from another contractor.

Homeowners in Duluth, MN were looking to make their home more comfortable year-round. Looking to prevent ice dams in the winter and reduce heating bills, the homeowners reached out to DBS for a permanent solution.

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 air sealing, and blown-in insulation were necessary to effectively seal the space.

Our production crew first removed the existing insulation in the attic. They then sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with a layer of Spray Foam. From there, they used our TruSoft™ cellulose to blow into the space. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials. 

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

These Duluth, MN homeowners needed a year-round solution for making their home more comfortable. The wintertime made their kitchen and living areas cold and drafty, and caused certain rooms to heat up in the summertime as well. After 25 years in the home, and plans to live there for many more, these homeowners reached out to DBS for a permanent solution.

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 air sealing, and a combination of rigid foam and blown-in insulation were necessary to effectively seal the space.

Our production crew first removed the existing insulation and sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with ZypFoam™. From there, the applied TerraBlock™ directly to the super deck in the attic. They also blew-in a heavy layer of our TruSoft™ cellulose into the space. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials and will work wonders to protect the space.

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.
