DBS Before & After Photos

This Schroeder, MN homeowner was struggling with foundation instability. The house had settled so much that the doors and windows no longer worked properly. The homeowner wanted to fix this problem before it got any worse and to be able to keep the home in good condition for their family. 

Design Specialist Zach Guilliams assisted this homeowner in a free no-obligation estimate to find the perfect solution for their home. It was decided that installing push piers was the best option. 

Foreman Trevor Ingle, along with a team, led this installation. Together, they installed 8 push piers systems. These piers are made out of steel that is strong enough to lift the foundation. Using hydraulic pressure, these push piers are set deep into the native soil of the land and can raise the settled foundation back to its original position. They are a lasting, permanent solution for foundation settlement. 

This homeowner can now enjoy their home for years to come without having to worry about their home moving any further. 

This pool deck at the resort in Tofte, MN was cracked and sinking. The owners were looking for a solution to repair the concrete without having to replace it. They were also looking for a quick solution to avoid a long-term closure of the pool to guests. 

The reached out to DBS about our Concrete Repair service and a Design Specialist visited the resort to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. To lift and level the concrete, PolyLevel® was recommended. A DBS Foreman and production crew successfully leveled portions of sidewalk using PolyLevel® and sealed the cracks using NexusPro™.

The resort guests now have a safe, and stable pool deck that will last for years to come. 

This recently purchased cabin in Tofte, MN was built in the 1920s and in need of structural repair. The owner was hoping to use this space as a vacation home and potential rental down the line. They wanted to make sure that the cabin had a healthy foundation and crawl space so they reached out to DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. 

DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the cabin and gave a thorough inspection of the crawl space. He designed a plan with the homeowner to restore the cabin to a level position. DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his foundation repair crew had the task of installing a crawl space support system and lifting the cabin back to level. 

The DBS repair crew installed a supplemental beam steel beam to ensure the cabin is properly supported for years to come. Beneath the existing supports and new steel I-beam, we placed 7 SmartJacks. These telescoping support beams have steel footings and can be hand adjusted to support natural settling due to soil movement throughout the years. 

When our client in Hayward realized their attic lacked sufficient insulation, they knew it was time for an upgrade. The before photo reveals a bare and inefficient space that contributed to higher energy bills and an overall lack of comfort in their home. Without proper insulation, their attic was unable to support a cozy living environment, making it difficult to maintain ideal temperatures year-round.

After our team stepped in, the transformation was undeniable. In the "after" photo, you can see how we filled the attic with Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, creating an effective thermal barrier that ensures the home stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The result is a dramatic improvement in energy efficiency and overall comfort.

We are proud to have provided not just a solution, but a lasting enhancement to our client’s living experience. With Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, we delivered reliable, long-term results that make a significant difference in both energy savings and home comfort.
