Before & After Photos

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.

The carpet that was previously installed in this basement had to be removed due to moisture concerns. The homeowner still wanted to have carpet in their basement but did not want to repeat their mistake. Thankfully DBS Residential Solutions offers a carpeting product that is completely inorganic and resistant to mold, moisture, and mildew so it provides a much more safe and permanent option for the basement. 

This basement was sectioned into perfectly sized rooms for bedrooms, play areas, and family spaces but the previous carpet had taken on moisture and was no longer creating a pleasant space. The homeowner wanted an option that worked for her basement while still being comfortable and pleasing to the eye. DBS Residential Solutions was able to provide a carpet solution for the homeowner that would withstand the often wet conditions of a basement without becoming musty and moldy. The solution also went quite well with the rooms the homeowner had already created. Here we see our solution fitting well around an existing fireplace.
