DBS Before & After Photos

In Duluth, MN, homeowners faced a serious issue with their front slab and steps. The concrete had settled away from the siding, and the steep, shifted steps even required a rail for safety. Design Specialist Heidi worked with them to find the right solution, and our team delivered. Griffin and Dane lifted and leveled the slab, restoring it flush with the home, while Dave applied a stunning Lake Superior–colored Durastone overlay for a polished, long-lasting finish. The homeowners were so relieved and happy with the results that they were brought to tears — their problem was finally solved.
