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.

The attic in this Cook, Minnesota home had not yet had any form of insulation installed on the walls. They chose to go with our spray foam insulation to make their home a more comfortable place to live. 

This homeowner in Mountain Iron, MN was unhappy with the insufficient insulation in the attic of their home. The home was suffering from ice dams, so they reached out to DBS for help.

A DBS Design Specialist assisted the owner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a close, in-person inspection, our SprayFoam and cellulose insulation solutions were recommended.

Foreman Nicholas Woods led the installation of this project with help from a team. The crew began by removing the old insulation and debris. SprayFoam is then used as the first layer of insulation because it also acts as an air sealant and a moisture barrier. Cellulose insulation is then blown into the space creating a lasting and effective solution.

This homeowner now relax in their healthy, ice dam-free home!

Previously, this porch in Mountain Iron, MN became uncomfortably hot during the summer, making it difficult to enjoy on warm days. As shown in the before photo, the lack of proper insulation under the porch allowed heat to build up, making the space unbearably warm. To address this, we installed Closed Cell Spray Foam insulation, which works by creating a tight, air-sealed barrier. This helps to prevent heat from entering or escaping, keeping the porch cooler in the summer and more comfortable year-round. The after photo shows how the insulation now helps maintain a more pleasant temperature, turning the porch into a usable and enjoyable space again.

The owners of this home in International Falls, MN experienced issues with heating their home. This homeowner recently worked with DBS to repair their foundational issues and reached back out to have the home properly insulated as well. 

Design Specialist Austin Burley went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After a thorough inspection, Austin informed the owner of insulation products offered by DBS and how they would benefit their home.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they first cleared out the old fiberglass batting insulation from the attic. Next, they air-sealed the space by applying a waterproof polyurethane spray foam to the floorboards. Finally, they blew in 17 inches of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. Tru-Soft™ is made of recyclable material like newspaper and is treated with a borate solution for fire-retardancy and pest repellant. 

Now that the home has been properly insulated, the homeowner can relax comfortably in their energy-efficient and warmer home.
