"I had an excellent experience with Ideal Solutions on my basement remodel. From start to finish, the team was professional, communicative, and detail-oriented. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the finished basement turned out even better than I imagined. Everything was completed on time, and they made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Ideal Solutions to anyone looking for basement remodeling or home improvement work."

"We hired Tom for a kitchen & half-bath remodel in 2019. As with all remodeling projects, especially a kitchen remodel that disrupts your life, Tom was wonderful at communicating and kept the project on time and on budget. Tom stands behind his work and quickly remediated any issues (which are always inevitable with these projects) and we can absolutely say that we are still 100% satisfied a year later. We completely trusted Tom to make our kitchen remodel dream come true and would hire him again should another project come up!"

Customers say: Quality work

"From start to finish Steve was friendly, professional and had no problem helping us through every step of the process. Steve managed to keep the job site meticulously clean, kept to his promised timeline and was mindful of our budget. He has a great artistic eye and was able to make necessary design changes that took the job to the next level. The fireplace he installed is a STUNNING show piece with a complete shiplap surround, a beautiful handmade wood mantle, custom iron brackets and shiplap that continues across the entire back living room wall. Steve's attention to detail, talent and care for what he does shines through and we couldn't be happier with the end product! We are excited to have him continue our renovation process by remodeling our kitchen and other living space projects. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone we know. We were lucky to find him!"

"Peter has great attention to detail and is extremely meticulous with his work. I felt that Peter went above and beyond with our deck remodel project. He was very consultative with the material selection and provided options and suggestions that most contractors would have overlooked. I highly recommend him and plan on using him again for future projects."

"I used Remodel Or Renew Home Improvement to replace a door I had installed not long ago. I had water coming in and the old contractor was nowhere to be found. The owners Tom and Mike came to my house identified the issues and had a crew here the next day. I cant recommend this company enough. I was loosing sleep with water coming into my basement. I have new confidence in good people to do great work! Thank you Remodel or Renew! Exceptional service at a reasonable price."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Derry, NH

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
