Home Insulation Before & After Photos

Unsealed crawl spaces cause a host of issues. This cabin in Bayfield, WI had cold, drafty floors and issues with mice. Wanting a permanent solution to this issue, the cabin owner contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for crawl space encapsulation.

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is an expert in insulation and home energy. He visited the cabin and after a thorough inspection, designed a plan that would restore comfort to the residents.

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II led this crawl space insulation project. After the insulation was removed, our crew installed spray foam onto the vertical crawl space walls. Closed-cell spray foam expands once applied to fill any gaps and seal the space from the outside air. Our team also fit the crawl space with a custom entry hatch, sealed with rigid foam insulation.

The cabin owner was happy with the work done and looks forward to year-round comfort!

Before our team arrived in Hurley, WI, the homeowner struggled with chilly interior spaces, largely due to under-insulated crawl spaces—a common issue in colder climates. Rather than opting for a temporary fix, they chose a comprehensive solution to fully address the problem. As shown in our photos, we revitalized their cold, uninviting crawl space by installing Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. We tackled every area, from the challenging rim joists to the expansive spaces in need of dense insulation. Our expertise not only enhanced their home’s comfort but also promised lasting energy efficiency and warmth. The transformation led to a cozier, more energy-efficient home, perfectly reflecting our commitment to providing remarkable and reliable improvements for living spaces.

When our client in Hayward realized their attic lacked sufficient insulation, they knew it was time for an upgrade. The before photo reveals a bare and inefficient space that contributed to higher energy bills and an overall lack of comfort in their home. Without proper insulation, their attic was unable to support a cozy living environment, making it difficult to maintain ideal temperatures year-round.

After our team stepped in, the transformation was undeniable. In the "after" photo, you can see how we filled the attic with Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, creating an effective thermal barrier that ensures the home stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The result is a dramatic improvement in energy efficiency and overall comfort.

We are proud to have provided not just a solution, but a lasting enhancement to our client’s living experience. With Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, we delivered reliable, long-term results that make a significant difference in both energy savings and home comfort.

A homeowner from Lutsen, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their drafty shed. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. Our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Attic Insulation Service after a thorough inspection. One of our crews installed our polyurethane spray foam to first air seal the space, then they installed our blown-in cellulose insulation to thoroughly insulate the space. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind knowing that their shed will stay warmer.

The owner of this home in Grand Marais, MN experienced issues with dark streaks on the ceiling that was caused by condensation. This issue arises when improper insulation of the attic causes heat to flow into the space and forms ice dams on the roof. Looking for a solution, the homeowner reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, he informed the homeowners about DBS attic insulation systems that would solve their issue.

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they removed the old batting insulation in the attic to start with a clean slate. Then they installed TiteShell™ can light covers over the lighting fixtures and sealed each with ZypFoam™ to prevent air leaks through gaps. To complete the air sealing process, the crew applied closed cell spray foam insulation to the floorboards in the attic. Finally, they blew in 18 inches of TruSoft™ cellulose insulation.

The homeowners will be much more comfortable in their homes now that their attic has been properly insulated.
