Turn Your Basement Into Livable Space

Plan Basement Remodeling in the Plano, IL Area

Your basement doesn't have to be a storage area filled with boxes and forgotten furniture. In Plano, where many homes have unfinished or outdated basements, remodeling offers a chance to create livable spaces such as family rooms, offices, guest rooms, or entertainment areas. Freshly Coated LLC transforms basements with framing, drywall, flooring, trim, lighting, and moisture-resistant materials tailored to below-grade conditions. You'll notice the difference when walls are straight, floors are warm underfoot, and lighting makes the space feel bright and inviting.


The team handles all aspects of the project, from demolition to plumbing and electrical, all the way to the finished product. Insulation improvements and moisture-aware construction approaches are standard in Plano basements to prevent condensation, mold, and cold floors. Clean project management keeps the work organized from planning to final finishes, ensuring your basement becomes comfortable, year-round living space that adds value to your home.
