Rim Joist Insulation in Duluth, MN

When a homeowner in Duluth, MN, contacted us at DBS for help with insulating their home, they were looking for an efficient and reliable solution. The project focused on insulating the rim joist and a small entry area using SprayFoam. This small area, measuring 5x7 feet, included a window that occupied half of one wall. The homeowner took the initiative to remove the siding to provide access and planned to reinstall the sheetrock after our work was completed.

Our team ensured that every inch of the specified areas was thoroughly insulated. We sprayed foam under the entryway floor and the underside of the roof, where there was no ceiling at the time. In the basement, we insulated about half of the rim joist, as the other half was already filled with concrete. Despite the small size of the house and the added entry, we ensured that the foam application was precise and effective.

Our efficient and thorough approach left the homeowner with improved insulation, enhancing the overall comfort and energy efficiency of their home.
