Before & After Photos

We recently took on a challenging job in McGregor, MN, transforming a tight, difficult-to-access crawl space at a newly bought family cabin into a cozy, year-round retreat. The before photo reveals the tough conditions we faced, making it hard to navigate and work within the space. This was causing problems for the family who dreamed of renovating and enjoying their cabin all year. By employing our first-rate solution, the SmartJack® system, noticeable in the after photo, we not only stabilized and leveled the foundation but made sure the space was prepped for insulation, ensuring that keeping water on through the winter is no longer a pipedream. It's all part of our mission to deliver remarkable and enduring solutions, turning dreams of the perfect family getaway into reality.

DBS received a call from a home in Cohasset, MN that our clients were looking to sell their home, but they had been told that their walls and foundation were unstable. The homeowners needed to move forward quickly with repair to stabilize their walls. DBS sent our Design Specialist, Kevin Steffey, to the home to create a proposal and fix the problem.

Kevin recommended fixing the walls by installing PowerBrace™ service into the home for support, then by using Joist Reinforcement as needed to support the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System. We would also work to remove the old, unstable, unnecessary drywall throughout the process of repairing the walls.

The owner of this home in Cohasset, MN reached out to us looking for help with bowing walls in their basement. One of our Design Specialists went out to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System.

One of our crews went out to install the system in order to permanently stabilize the foundation. Now that the home has been stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind!

Before beginning the restoration of their newly inherited cabin in Cohasset, MN, the owners encountered a concerning crawl space with major stability issues, as shown in the 'before' photo.

The 'after' photo speaks for itself – the transformation is not only visible but also highlights our dedication to providing lasting solutions and an outstanding customer experience.
