This family in South Minneapolis needed a solution to the flooring in their basement. They were looking for a durable, water and scratch resistant surface that would work for dance rehearsal for one of their children. After working with DBS to address some of the foundation issues a year prior, they called DBS to inquire about our basement finishing service.
DBS Design Specialist Jason Swanson is an expert in basement finishing and helps homeowners with a smart, custom-design for their basement space. He visited the home and provided a free inspection and estimate for the work. The homeowners wanted the carpet gone and wood floor over the entire space.
Lead Carpenter Paul Villella and a team of our basement finishing crew began the project by removing the basement carpeting. Beneath the carpeting were some asbestos tiles. Safe removal of asbestos is a complicated process because disturbing the material is hazardous to workers and homeowners health. The other option is to leave the tiles undisturbed and safely cover them. The homeowners decided to go with this route and chose our MillCreek Flooring™. It is available in several natural colors, including the Natural Oak installed here.
The homeowners were more than happy with the installation job and complimented our team on their worksmanship and communication!
Our total basement finishing crew began working on an unfinished basement, but working closely with our clients to meet their needs in everything they want in a finished basement. The homeowners in Minneapolis, MN can now enjoy the comfort of a finished basement in their home and utilize the space of their home completely!
A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN was looking to revamp their basement area and reached out to DBS regarding our basement finishing service. After discussing with our Design Specialist, it was determined that our crew would install ZenWall™ panels, which contain compressed fiberglass insulation and faced with tan vinyl. For flooring, the crew installed ThermalDry® Basement Floor Tiles which is equipped with a thermal barrier, making the flooring 8-10 degrees warmer than tradition ceramic or vinyl tile. The end results of the project can be viewed here.
Discovering a less-than-ideal attic in their first home, these Minneapolis new homeowners aimed for energy efficiency, especially with their brand-new furnace. Their concern? Adding necessary insulation. As you can see in the before photo, the space was bare, unchecked. Enter our solution: Tru-Soft™ insulation. Notice in the after photo the transformation - a clean, efficiently insulated area ready to deliver on energy needs. Our commitment at DBS shines through in providing reliable, exceptional home services that last.
A homeowner in Golden Valley, MN was looking to have their basement walls refinished, and reached out to DBS for suggestions. The basement contained a traditional drywall finish, which is less resistant to mold and other damages than what DBS has to offer. Our Design Specialist suggested we install EverLast™ Wall Restoration. This product is a finished wall addition that is made of up mold, moisture, and mildew-resistant material with a transferable warranty. This is an ideal solution to creating a more healthy, safe and comfortable basement environment. The results of the finishing project can be seen here.
