Rockingham County's Leading Basement Finishing & Remodeling Contractor

When Total Basement Finishing first got in contact with Charley H. he needed a new home office. He and his wife were expecting their second child and there simply wasn't enough room for all of them! They turned to us looking for a finished basement and a workspace for Charley.

Charley's project was our first paintable panel project and he was definitely a hands on type of guy! He was involved every step of the way and our team formed a very good realtionship with him and his wife!

Though we were under the gun due to Charley's wife's impending due date, we managed to pull off the job with out a hitch. Charley now has a nice, dry, and comfortable space to work and there is enough space for their new addition to the family as well. 

Jill and Isaac had a TON of unused space in their Windham, NH home. 1765 square feet, to be precise! All of that square footage was just begging to be finished and used. Jill envisioned a clean contemporary look, with a comfortable feel. Isaac wanted the space to be an open concept "family zone" that belonged to everyone and could be used anytime for informal activities or relaxation. The couple heard about Total Basement Finishing products and loved that the system was specifically designed for basements. Now Jill and Isaac have the extra space they need, and the couple foresee the space's future use as an in-law apartment. 

Terri and Dan, Salem NH homeowners, were trying to get the most out of their basement. Though the space was completely unfinished, the family had already brought in a ping pong table, set up a shoe and coat rack, and everything was well organized. But the insulation was drooping, the cement floor was prone to moisture, and there was exposed wiring. All the organization techniques in the world couldn't make the unfinished basement comfortable. Dan liked our basement system, and Terri liked that we could install paint-able walls. Once we started construction, Dan was called away on business, leaving Terri home to have fun with kids and construction. Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate, was able to stay out of her way, she was thrilled with the process, and loved that we were conscientious and mindful in her home. Now Terri and Dan have a finished basement, they can play ping pong without worrying about the ball getting caught in insulation!

They have a large, unfinished basement that they would like to finish as extra living space. In addition, they would like a playroom and TV room. This will allow them plenty of space for their grandchildren to stay.

Solution: We created a bathroom with a double bowl vanity and an attached bedroom. We also added a living, kitchen, and dining area. We installed kitchen countertops, cabinets, a sink, and a faucet that they selected and added in our gray Elite Plank in the kitchen. In the rest of the space, we added our pecan Elite Plank.

This project was for a couple in Hampton, New Hampshire. They were looking to finish their 1500 square foot basement to create an entertainment area and a small gym. We began by using our white Vinyl EverLast wall panel system, with metal studs. We placed decorative post surrounds on their existing posts, and added recessed can lighting. We finished the ceiling with our linen ceiling panels and added ThermalDry flooring. We then added 800 Square Feet of electrical baseboard heating and a SaniDry system to keep the space clean and dry. 

Challenge: A couple living in Methuen, Massachusetts, has owned a cottage at the beach for many years.

They have spent the last year and a half decorating and refurnishing the space, but now they want to finish their basement as well to give their grandchildren a place to play and watch TV with them. The current space is completely unfinished and will need a lot of work.

Solution:  We installed our linen ceiling tiles, a Pecan Elite Plank floor, and our most popular vinyl everlast perimeter walls. We applied panels to the surrounding walls for the stairwell leading down to the basement and capped the stairwells with PVC caps. Next, we added baseboard heating and a SaniDry system to keep the space warm, dry, and comfortable. We added decorative post surrounds to make the posts match the rest of the finished space. This created a cohesive basement where the homeowners’ grandchildren could play, which they are very excited to begin using.

In the room we made into an office and the other that became a playroom, we added decorative surrounds around the existing posts. Finally, we added our ElitePlank flooring. This resulted in a clean, warm, well-lit space in the newly finished basement.

This would add a large amount of living space, as well as a place to spend more time together as a family.

We met with the family originally to give them an idea of what we could do to finish their basement. They were happy to find out what the project may look like but aren't able to actually begin the project for at least a year. For this reason, we were asked to reach back out at that time.

A family had a house in Hampstead, New Hampshire, that was in need of remodeling. In the basement, they wanted to create a classic, simple family room design. 
To begin with, we added our insulated EverLast wall panel in vinyl to the exterior-facing walls and our non-insulated panels around the interior. We also added a white colonial-style baseboard to outline the perimeter of the finished area. Next, we installed 4'' LED lights with trim into our 2' X 2' linen ceiling tiles. Finally, we finished off the space with our ThermalDry elite plank flooring in gray to create a classic, sleek basement for their family to enjoy.

A kind family in Raymond, New Hampshire, decided to finish their walk-out basement. We added a 3/4 bathroom, bedroom, and man cave into the sizeable space.

We used our 2 X 2 linen ceiling tiles, installing smoke alarms and recessed can lights. There was an existing post to which we added a decorative post surround. Finally, we added electrical baseboard heat to warm their new space.

A couple in Windham, New Hampshire, wanted to have three-quarters of their basement finished for their family to spend time together.

Once this was finished, we used our linen ceiling tiles throughout the space and added recessed LED lights and baseboard heating. After this, we used our ThermalDry Elite plank flooring throughout the space, replaced the stairs with carpet, and added a wall-mounted handrail. To keep the space dry, we also added a SaniDry XP system. 

A homeowner had water damage in their basement after a dishwasher they had installed began leaking water. They reached out to us because of our waterproof system, which would save them from suffering this kind of damage in the future. We began the project by demoing the approximately three hundred square feet of damaged floors. Next, we repaired some of the walls they already had instead of fully replacing them. After this, we replaced their stairs with oak treads and installed a mounted handrail. Finally, we added our Dry Core sub floor, above which we installed our ElitePlank flooring in oak. This left them with a much-improved space that will stay clean and dry for many years to come. 

A couple in Danville, New Hampshire, have owned their home there for five years. In this time, they have considered whether or not finishing their basement would be a worthwhile decision. This is how they decided to fill out a form and got in contact with one of our basement finishing specialists. The basement didn't have heat and only had one existing electrical outlet, which would make a full basement finish the ideal scope of their project to fit their needs. After we spoke with them, they also met with our affiliate company, Blackdog Design/Build/Remodel. After receiving both project quotes, they decided to prioritize the work on the first floor of their home before the basement. For this reason, we have decided on a date in the future to reach back out to discuss moving forward.

This is how we began working with them on their project, which would add a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette into the space.

We began with our EverLast vinyl wall system, which we installed around the perimeter.
