Home Insulation Before & After Photos

Before our DBS team arrived, a church in Sandstone was facing high heating costs and uncomfortable cold due to insufficient attic insulation. As shown in the "before" photo, the uninsulated attic allowed heat to escape, leading to increased energy consumption. Our solution? Tru-Soft™ cellulose and Closed Cell Spray Foam insulation—visible in the "after" photo. This highly effective insulation system traps heat, transforming the attic into an energy-efficient space that retains warmth. As a result, the church now enjoys a more comfortable environment and lower heating bills, reflecting our commitment to providing long-lasting, energy-saving solutions.

In Kerrick, MN, a homeowner noticed unwanted condensation forming in their new attic—an early warning sign of poor insulation and trapped moisture. Knowing they needed a vapor barrier and better thermal protection, they reached out to our team. We installed TruSoft™ Cellulose for thorough attic coverage and added SilverGlo™ rigid foam panels to boost thermal resistance and create an effective vapor barrier. With this upgraded insulation system in place, the attic is now dry, efficient, and protected from future moisture issues.

This Beaver Bay crawl space was vented which allowed the unconditioned air from the outdoors to freely enter under the home. In the winter these vents could be shut, but it was not providing an air tight seal necessary to block out the cold winter air. To fix this issue when we encapsulated the crawl space we filled the vent area with insulation and used spray foam insulation to seal the space and prevent air from leaking through. 

This 1987 home in Wrenshall, MN began having issues with condensation and water build-up in their attic. The owners knew were considering moving if they couldn't find a permanent solution to the issues this was causing in the rest of their home. Luckily, they contacted us for advice after hearing about in their local newspaper.

Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate, looking at insulation solutions for both the attic. Our team first removed the existing batt insulation and prepped the attic space for an application of our TruSoft™ cellulose. They also built a scuttle cover to properly seal the attic access using TerraBlock™ foam insulation.

This home is now properly insulated and the homeowners were happy with the work done. 

When large walls in common spaces are under-insulated it can result in major heat loss in the home. Especially when paired with large windows it is important to retain as much heat as possible to create a comfortable living environment. This customer's entire wall needed to be re-insulated using spray foam insulation which provides the highest r-value in tight spaces and has additional air sealing properties. This large wall is now an asset in this customer's home, retaining heat for a comfortable space and making the property more energy efficient.
