Home Insulation Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Duluth, MN had issues with cold and drafty rooms in their home. Uncomfortable conditions paired with ice dams on the roof prompted them to contact DBS.

Sales Manager Jacob Nustad-Peluso was the Design Specialist for the project and went to the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that air sealing and blown-in insulation were necessary to effectively seal and insulate the space.

Our production crew first removed the existing fiberglass insulation and sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with a layer of closed-cell spray foam. From there, they 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. 

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

A Duluth, MN couple contacted DBS for help in preventing ice dams from forming on their home. Knowing that this is a symptom of energy loss in the home, they figured a permanent solution would make their home more comfortable as well. 

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is an expert in our Dr. Energy Saver® solutions. After completing a thorough inspection of the attic, he provided the family with a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. He noticed frost and signs of water leaking in the attic, in areas consistent with the ice dams and cold rooms. 

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II and his insulation crew completed the attic project. They first removed the existing fiberglass batting insulation, and applied a layer of spray foam to the attic floor for air seal and to prevent energy loss. From there, they applied 18 inches of cellulose insulation. DBS uses Tru-Soft™ cellulose, a light, yet dense material that has an R-value as high as 4 per inch. 

The homeowners now have a solid solution to keep their home comfortable and reduce their energy bills!

These Duluth, MN homeowners had been living in the space for 2 years before tackling their attic insulation. They knew the insulation would need updating upon purchasing the home, so to save energy and make their home more comfortable, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for the work.

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided an inspection and thorough estimate for the attic insulation project. To prevent energy loss and leaking from ice dams in the future, Henry suggested air sealing the attic floor and re-insulating it. DBS Foreman Nick Woods II lead the attic insulation crew.

Our attic insulation crew first removed the existing batting and loose insulation. They air-sealed the space with spray foam insulation and added a thick layer Tru-Soft™ cellulose afterward. This will, in turn, prevent warm air from escaping from the living space through the attic. Additionally, they built a scuttle cover from SilverGlo™ insulation in order to properly seal the attic from the rest of the home. This insulation method also prevents the space from heating up too much during the summer months.

The homeowners were happy with the work our insulation crew did and now have a solid solution to stand up to cold Minnesota winters.
