Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

This homeowner was starting to redo their basement when they saw us at the Duluth Home and Garden Show. The thought of having flooring that does not mold was very appealing. Check out the change in appearance! Call us today for your free estimate! 

A homeowner reached out to DBS regarding our Total Basement Finishing™ service. They were looking to have their entire basement finished for a more fresh and updated look. One area that was to be finished was the laundry room. Our crew went in and installed all new flooring, ceiling, and wall panels, to give this area a great finish!

The homeowner of this Minneapolis, MN home wanted to have a more finished look to their basement. Part of this included having a ceiling installed. A big part of choosing ceiling option DBS offered was that they wanted to still have access to their utilities. The Total Basement Finishing drop ceiling tiles provided a great option for people who still want to access utilities located in the basement ceiling area. 

Before you dive into the world of beautifully finished, functional basements, imagine this: a dark, damp, and unfinished basement in Duluth, plagued by water damage and structural wear. The before photo captures a space with water stains, peeling paint, and an overall sense of neglect. The homeowner was looking for a solution that would address both water intrusion and the need for a stylish, livable basement.

That’s where Total Basement Finishing comes in. First, our expert team tackled the root cause of the issue with a comprehensive waterproofing solution, ensuring that the basement would stay dry for years to come. Once the space was fully protected, we installed our Wall Restoration Panels—designed to not only resist moisture but also provide a beautiful, modern finish.

The after photo shows the stunning transformation: a clean, dry, and welcoming basement space that has been completely revitalized. The Wall Restoration Panels not only enhance the aesthetic of the basement but also ensure it remains comfortable and functional for years to come.

This side-by-side visual is a testament to Total Basement Finishing’s commitment to solving your home’s basement challenges, starting from the foundation up. From waterproofing to finishing touches, we deliver lasting solutions and an exceptional customer experience every step of the way.

This Duluth resident had cracks in their walls that were allowing water to seep into the basement. With the addition of a new drain tile and our CleanSpace wall matting we direct water down the wall and eventually into the sump pump where it is extracted from the home. This method provides the customer with a clean white wall and drains water out of the basement that could have otherwise caused further moisture or even flooding. In addition to the waterproofing, the black CarbonArmor strap seen on the right side of the wall is put in place to maintain the wall and prevent it from shifting further in the future. The combination of these options allows us the opportunity to stabilize the wall while effectively waterproofing the affected area.
