Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Lake Elmo, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their cold basement. One of our Design Specialists provided the homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate for our Spray Foam Insulation Service after a thorough inspection of the basement. One of our crews applied the spray foam insulation generously about the walls of the basement to help thoroughly insulate the space. Now the homeowner can relax in a healthy, safe, and comfortable home!

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 owners of this home in Minong, WI reached out to DBS looking for a solution to their nasty crawl space problem.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henrik recommended our Crawl Space Encapsulation service.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed drainage matting on the ground of the crawl space to help with water flow beneath the other layers. Next, the crew installed TerraBlock® insulation panels to protect the space against frost and also installed a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier to finish the project. Polyurethane spray foam was also installed on the vertical walls of the crawl space to provide more insulation.

Now that the crawl space has been encapsulated with our 3-layer process, the homeowner can relax much more comfortably in their home.

Before tackling cold garage projects, a homeowner in Lakeville, MN faced a chilly attic above their garage. The initial photo shows a space in need of transformation. To ensure a comfortable workspace for year-round car maintenance, the homeowner sought our expertise. We addressed the issue with a professional installation of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, as highlighted in the after photo. This upgrade not only enhances functionality but also maintains a cozy 40-50 degree temperature, demonstrating that comfort and hobbies can thrive regardless of the season.

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!
