Basement Finishing Photo Album: Moisture and Scratch Resistant Basement Flooring in South Minneapolis, MN Home

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 worker's and home owner's 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.MillCreek Flooring™ is an inorganic floor plank option, designed for the basement environment. Its structure provides a thermal break from the cold basement floor and can warm the floors up to 10 degrees. Sections of flooring are easy to install and remove if a section of flooring were to incur damage. The homeowners were more than happy with the installation job and complimented our team on their workmanship and communication!
