DBS Before & After Photos

Faced with a desire to improve the appearance of their basement and enhance their home's value, a Duluth homeowner turned to our expertise. The existing basement walls, as shown in the "before" photo, were functional but lacked the aesthetic appeal the homeowner envisioned. Our Basement to Beautiful™ Panels provided the perfect solution. With a sleek, modern finish, these panels not only elevated the basement's look but also reinforced the foundation, creating a space that was both stylish and durable. The transformation, showcased in the "after" photo, turned the homeowner's vision into a reality, demonstrating our commitment to lasting, high-quality solutions.

Nestled in Duluth, MN, this cherished family cabin needed a permanent fix to eliminate years of worry about stability. Before, as seen in the left photo, uneven floors caused by a sinking foundation threatened to spoil many more generational memories. To address this, we used helical piers to lift and level the cabin, providing a solid base. The SmartJack® system was then added as secondary support, ensuring long-term stabilization and peace of mind. The after photo to the right proudly showcases a safely supported, worry-free space, ensuring family traditions continue for generations to come.

In this Duluth, MN home, the customer was dealing with a frustrating and damaging issue—water entering through the eaves and traveling down the wall cavity, all the way to the basement. The before photo shows an under-insulated attic that allowed moisture and air to freely enter the home. To solve the problem, we installed TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation for comprehensive coverage and added targeted Spray Foam insulation to seal air leaks and prevent water intrusion at its source. The after photo highlights a properly insulated attic, now protected against moisture and energy loss. With this upgrade, the customer no longer has to worry about water damage—and can enjoy a more comfortable, energy-efficient home.

In the before photo, notice the homeowner’s vented crawl space in Duluth, MN, where an inspection by our Design Specialist, Mike Horvath, revealed humidity and moisture issues that posed risks like mold, wood rot, and elevated energy bills. Based on his recommendation, the homeowner moved forward with our top-notch CleanSpace® encapsulation system paired with a SmartDrain™ for added protection. In the after photo, you’ll see how our solution expertly addresses these challenges. Made of advanced material, CleanSpace® provides robust protection against moisture, while the SmartDrain™ ensures proper drainage and peace of mind. Installed by our skilled crew members Brant and Joe, this system preserves structural integrity, improves indoor air quality, and enhances energy efficiency. Trust our crawl space specialists to transform your home’s foundation securely and efficiently.

We had a customer call in about a home he had just purchased with no insulation in the crawl space. We had set the appointment for him, promising him a free written estimate provided by one of our specialist. We finished with a happy customer. He now has a clean crawl space, his home is comfortable, free from cold drafts, little critters, and the smell of mold.
