Newly-Built Workshop in Duluth, MN is Insulated for Year-Round Use

Homeowners in Duluth, MN built a garage on their property that they were in the process of finishing. In order to comfortably use that space year-round, they contacted DBS to learn more about our Dr. Energy Saver® insulation services.

DBS Design Specialist Jacob Nustad-Peluso visited the homeowners and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. After a thorough inspection, he recommended both spray foam and our Tru-Soft cellulose insluation to provide a sufficient radiant barrier in the garage attic.

Our production crew was lead by Foreman Orrin Sundberg. They installed 3 inches of closed-cell spray foam to air seal and insulate the attic space, focusing on the floor joints and space beneath the roof deck. Spray foam expands after its applied, reaching tight spaces and filling gaps and preventing air from passing through. The crew also installed 18 inches of Tru-Soft cellulose to provide a high R-value.

These homeowners were happy with the work done and can now enjoy a comfortable garage space year-round!

Rim Joist Insulation for Year-Round Comfort in Duluth, MN Home

Homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help insulation their partially finished basement. Their goal was to be able to use the space comfortably year-round.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. They used a thermal camera to measure heat loss and air flow, finding the rim joists to be a problematic area. The solution was to install a 3" inch layer of closed-cell spray foam to insulate the rim joists. This creates an airtight connection between the rim joist and exterior,  eliminating outdoor air from entering the home.

A DBS Foreman and their production crew applied the 2-part expanding spray foam, sealing and insulating the rim joists from cold outside air. This finished basement room is now comfortable year-round!

Rim Joist Insulation for Drafty Basement in Minnetonka, MN

This Minnetonka, MN home had a waterproofing system installed by DBS. On a routine service appointment by our Service Manager Jacob Nustad-Peluso, he and the homeowner discussed the drafty basement. Cold air was coming through the rim joist area in the basement, leading to cold floors on the main level of the home. 

Nick Woods II and his insulation crew used closed-cell spray foam to seal the basement rim joists. This spray foam expands once applied to close gaps and cracks, providing a solid barrier against water and airflow. Insulating the rim joists in your basement or crawl space stops airflow of both cold air in the winter and warm, humid air in the summer. 

The homeowners now have a more efficient home, saving money on heating and cooling bills!
