Before & After Photos

Townhome owners in Duluth, MN are in the process of permanently re-locating to Duluth year-round but noticed the first winter that the space wasn't properly insulated. Specifically, their lower level was much colder than the upper level. Looking for year-round comfort, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. Because the space shares walls with another unit, our production crew drilled holes into the drywall and dense-packed it with our ultra-dense Tru-Soft™ cellulose. This insulation is fire-resistant and has an R-value much higher than fiberglass, and most rigid foam insulations. We also seal the gaps and cracks in the utility room and side of the home that is exposed to the elements. 

These homeowners can now equipped to living in Duluth year-round and maintaining a high level of comfort!
