DBS Before & After Photos

These Duluth, MN homeowners had been living in the space for 2 years before tackling their attic insulation. They knew the insulation would need updating upon purchasing the home, so to save energy and make their home more comfortable, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for the work.

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided an inspection and thorough estimate for the attic insulation project. To prevent energy loss and leaking from ice dams in the future, Henry suggested air sealing the attic floor and re-insulating it. DBS Foreman Nick Woods II lead the attic insulation crew.

Our attic insulation crew first removed the existing batting and loose insulation. They air-sealed the space with spray foam insulation and added a thick layer Tru-Soft™ cellulose afterward. This will, in turn, prevent warm air from escaping from the living space through the attic. Additionally, they built a scuttle cover from SilverGlo™ insulation in order to properly seal the attic from the rest of the home. This insulation method also prevents the space from heating up too much during the summer months.

The homeowners were happy with the work our insulation crew did and now have a solid solution to stand up to cold Minnesota winters.

This Duluth, MN home had issues with a cracked and bowing foundation. The homeowners were in the process of selling the home but they knew they needed to repair the foundation first. After receiving a referral on how to best protect their basement, they contacted DBS.

DBS Design Specialist James Miller went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate for the work. After visiting the home, James reviewed the inspection with the homeowner and recommended the installation of our PowerBrace™ system. This unique foundation repair system permanently stabilizes walls and has a tightening system that can be adjusted over time to restore the wall to its original position.

DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his crew installed 5 PowerBrace™ wall support beams to stabilize the walls and prevent any further movement. These galvanized steel I-beams come with a 25-year nationally-backed warranty.

The homeowners can now confidently put this home on the market!

Homeowners in Minneapolis, MN wanted to transform their finished basement. Because their basement was prone to occasional leaks and mold, they were interested in learning more about our moisture and mildew-resistant basement finishing materials. After doing research online, they reached out to DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for their basement project. 

Our Basement Finishing expert Jason Swanson was the Design Specialist for this project. He visited the home, consulted with the homeowners, and created a custom plan for this basement finishing project and drywall restoration for the damaged portions of the basement. 

The DBS team of expert carpenters began this project by removing some of the existing drywall and carpeting. From there, they installed our water-resistant products, as well as completed base electrical; installing outlets, switches, jacks, lighting, and other finishes. The homeowners chose MillCreek Flooring™, a scratch-resistant and moisture-proof flooring, in our natural oak color. Our team also installed our EverLast™ wall panels and ceiling panels with recessed can lights. 

These homeowners were happy with our work and now have more space to dedicate to their active family!
