Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Maple Lake, MN reached out to DBS regarding the unfinished basement of their home. They wanted to transform that space into a more warm, safe, and comfortable living environment. A Design Specialist from DBS went out and provided a free, no-obligation for the basement finishing project. It was determined that this basement would have it all -- new flooring, stairs, wall panels, and an updated bathroom finish. These were just a few of the main components to help create a new and improved space for the homeowners. 

A homeowner near Sartell, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their unfinished basement. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment for our Total Basement Finishing Service. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for basement finishing with the homeowner's wants and needs in mind. One of our crews transformed the basement for the homeowner, providing them with peace of mind in their beautiful, safe, and comfortable home!

A couple from Wayzata, MN called DBS with a water problem in their basement. They had lived in their home for 20+ years, and they had noticed the mildew scent and mold problem growing in their basement. The water damage had moved to their flooring and they needed to fix the damage as soon as possible. DBS sent our Design Specialist, Henrick Makitalo, to the home, their solution was our SaniDry dehumidifier and basement waterproofing system. After installation of our SaniDry, the mold problem was resolved and DBS could move forward to work on redoing the floor areas that had water damage.

Our customer was very satisfied with our work, he said that the DBS team had very hard workers and he was proud to say that we were problem-solvers with great solutions. We worked directly with him to hear his opinions along the way, tell him about the benefits of our services, and ensure his house turned out the way he wanted. He even liked the SaniDry dehumidifier so much, he purchased another one for his cabin!

The area shown in this basement was having bad issues with moisture. As you can clearly tell the walls had become moldy which typically prompts health concerns for the home's inhabitors. These concerns are well founded and it is important to address issues like this as soon as they appear. DBS Residential Solutions helps to kill mold like this in our customer's homes and prevent it from happening again. We do this by using our "MoldX" spray formula to kill the existing mold and then we create a dry basement environment so that the mold does not have access to the moisture level necessary to thrive once again. To reduce the water present in this basement we installed a drain tile which is connected to this SuperSump which drains all of that water that enters it far away from the home. 

This Plymouth, MN homeowner wanted to capitalize on the square footage in the basement. Their dream was to have another living room, a home gym, and office space. Having worked with DBS in the past to correct a bowing wall and install a waterproofing system, they wanted to finish their basement with the DBS water-resistant system.

DBS Design Specialist Jason Swanson visited the home for a free, no-obligation estimate and came up with a custom plan that would incorporate this homeowner's wishlist.  DBS Carpenter Donny Whiting lead the install on this basement finishing project. The team also installed EverLast™ wall panels - the insulated version lined the outside walls and uninsulated for the inner walls. These wall panels are hung via a metal framing system, making them incredibly durable and stronger than drywall.

They installed our ultra-durable, scratch-resistant MillCreek™ flooring throughout the basement. This mahogany color is UV-resistant and provides a thermal break from the cold basement floor.

This owner was happy with the work done and now has a healthy, safe, and comfortable basement to use for years to come.
