Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN home had an attic that was finished and converted to living space. Unfortunately, it was not effectively insulated and was proving to be uncomfortable in both extreme winter and summer conditions. Looking to for an insulation solution to fix this problem, the homeowners reached out to DBS.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that proper air sealing and a combination of spray foam and rigid foam insulation were necessary to effectively seal the space.

Our production crew first sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with ZypFoam™. They then laid down TerraBlock™, our foam insulation that is infused with graphite for a higher R-value. From there, they completely sealed the space with closed-cell spray foam, at 3-5 inches depending on the location in the attic. 

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

These homeowners from Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help stopping growing cracks in their basement from reaching total wall failure. Over time the foundation issues were getting more intense. 

DBS Design Specialist James Miller went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, James recommended a combination of GeoLock™ earth anchors, CarbonArmor®, and NexusPro sealant. This combination of Supportworks® solutions will immediately stabilize the walls and prevent any future cracking or bowing. 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew.

A homeowner contacted DBS when they became concerned about their home's foundation and sloping floors. Our Design Specialist visited the property and recommended the installation of eight PowerBraces™ to lift and stabilize the foundation. Our production crew carried out the installation of all eight PowerBraces™, and the customer was happy with the project. They felt more secure about their home's future.

In Duluth, MN, a homeowner sought peace of mind amidst personal loss and was worried about their faltering foundation. Our team was committed to providing stability and comfort for the homeowner.
