Before tackling the much-needed roof renovation of a treasured family cabin in Garrison, MN, it was crucial to ensure a solid foundation for another century of memories. The cabin bore the marks of time, with a crawl space that whispered stories of years gone by but silently pleaded for long-overdue attention. Enter our solution: the SmartJack® System. As you can observe in our transformative photos, we not only provided stability but also renewed hope for this historical gem, ensuring it remains a family haven for generations to come.

In Garrison, MN, a homeowner approached us, determined to preserve a 100-year-old family cabin by addressing foundational issues before tackling a roof overhaul. Recognizing the necessity of a stable foundation, our team installed SmartJack supports. As you can see in the photo gallery, these sturdy supports restored the cabin’s structural integrity, ensuring its continued legacy for years to come. Through innovative solutions like SmartJack, we're committed to providing homes with both lasting safety and peace of mind.

The owners of this home in Isle, MN reached out to DBS looking for a solution to the sinking cabin that they had just purchased.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, James generated a quote for our cabin helical pier system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed helical piers underneath the perimeter of the cabin in order to provide permanent stabilization to the structure. The crew also installed our SmartJack®in the crawl space in order to stabilize the flooring in the cabin.

Now that the cabin has been permanently stabilized, the cabin owner can use the space as a retreat without worry.

When a homeowner from Isle, MN, decided it was time for an addition to their house, they noticed the foundation needed reinforcement.
