Bonnie Sundberg, founder of DBS Residential Solutions, has always been guided by hard work, determination, and heart. She began working at just nine years old, babysitting and cleaning homes, and carried that strong ethic into adulthood. For 20 years, she dedicated herself to raising a large family as a full-time stay-at-home mom.
When her youngest child started kindergarten, Bonnie felt it was time for a new chapter. With encouragement from her husband and support from Contractor Nation and Supportworks, she launched DBS to meet a growing need in Duluth: foundation repair and basement remodeling with exceptional customer care.
The leadership skills she honed as a mother, patience, empathy, and bringing out the best in others, translated naturally into her business. Today, Bonnie leads a team committed to both personal and professional growth. Her proudest moments come when employees share milestones made possible through their work at DBS.
Her advice to aspiring women entrepreneurs: find a mentor, hire people who share your values, and lead with heart.
Looking ahead, DBS will grow by creating lasting “WOW” relationships with employees first, then customers, delivering permanent home performance solutions so families can live in healthy, safe, and comfortable homes across Minnesota and Wisconsin.
