Home Insulation Before & After Photos

A property owner reached out to DBS for help with an insulation project. The lower level of his lake-facing rental property was experiencing moisture due to poor insulation. 

DBS Design Specialist, Austin Burley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Austin recommended dense packing the walls. Dense packing is an effective form of insulating where a small section of siding is removed and insulation is inserted into the walls from outside the home. No internal work is required and it offers a solid and effective insulation solution. 

Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew worked hard to install the insulation. The result is lower heating and cooling bills, reduced moisture, and a permanent solution to an energy problem. 

The owner of this home in South Range, WI was interested in having their skylight insulated because their home was abnormally cold in the wintertime. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. After a thorough inspection, Henry advised them that their attic was the culprit for their drafty home and a proper insulation system would solve their issue. 

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they removed all of the old rotted batting insulation from the attic. Then they air-sealed every light fixture, floorboard, and crevice with ZypFoam™ before installing 17 inches of blown-in Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. A benefit of Tru-Soft™ cellulose is that it is treated with a borate solution as a fire retardant and pest repellent.

Now that the attic has been properly insulated, the homeowners will be more comfortable as they experience a warmer home in the winter and a cooler home in the summer. This will also result in lower energy bills for them as well.

Insulating around objects that should not be moved is never an easy task, but the team at DBS Residential Solutions has gotten great at using spray foam insulation to properly insulate and air seal a home while working around various obstacles. Keeping these utilities warm is important not only for the longevity of the machines but for their efficiency as well. A water heater, for example, will lose much less energy in a warm room than it would in a room that in improperly insulated and cold. 

A homeowner in Eveleth, MN was looking to have their garage better insulated, and reached out to DBS for some help. After a visit from a Design Specialist, it was determined that the perimeter of the garage would need to have spray foam insulation installed to keep the garage better heated and more energy-efficient. Spray foam insulation works wonders in insulating homes where there may be cold and drafty air. The results of this project turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more warm and comfortable garage area. 

This homeowner in Solon Springs, MN wanted to address the home's insulation issues before refinancing. Wanting a professional, permanent solution they reached out to DBS for help.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the best solution for the home's needs. After a careful inspection, SprayFoam insulation was recommended. 

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team began by removing the old, ineffective insulation. This exposes any cracks or holes in the home that are allowing unwanted airflow in and out of the house. Then the team air seals these areas to begin the insulation process. Finally, they apply a full-coverage layer of SprayFoam to fully insulate the space and create a moisture barrier. 

This homeowner can now refinance their home with the new DBS solution.
