Before & After Photos

This typical Minneapolis, MN basement was partially finished. However, it was outdated and had issues with moisture. Wanting to transform their basement with moisture-resistant materials, they contacted DBS.

DBS Design Specialist Jason Swanson visited the home and gave a free estimate for the basement finishing project. This included installing some waterproofing infrastructure to help eliminate water issues. Our team installed mold and moisture-resistant flooring, wall panels, and finishing trim. 

After demolition of the existing basement wall panels and flooring, our team installed wiring, plumbing, lighting, and ductwork infrastructure. From there, our team installed our Total Basement Finishing™ system to transform this space from basement to beautiful!

A Minneapolis homeowner contacted DBS looking to make their home more comfortable with new drop ceilings in their man cave and bathroom. While half of their basement had recently been renovated, the remaining portion had crumbling ceilings and insufficient lighting. To address this, Mitch Porter, a skilled design specialist from our team, visited the residence to provide a free, no-obligation, estimate. After careful assessment, Mitch determined that our finished linen ceiling along with LED can lights would offer the ideal solution. Demmary Thomas, one of our foremen, led his team through the process and their basement has now been transformed into a comfortable space, alleviating concerns about ceiling deterioration.

This customer reached out to DBS interested in our Total Basement Finishing services to remodel their laundry area and add a small bathroom to the space. Their basement was unfinished and needed a much-needed upgrade. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, he helped the homeowners construct the basement of their dreams.

Now, they have a new, finished basement for everyone to enjoy!

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!
