"I contacted Floor Groomers, along with other garage flooring contractors, to come by and provide a quote to prep and resurface my two-car garage with an epoxy/polyaspartic finish. After meeting with Randy, I concluded he â checked all the boxesâ , i.e. professional in appearance, demeanor, and knowledge; arrived on time; thoroughly inspected the garage floor (including measuring the garage concrete floor for moisture intrusion â not performed by other contractors); gave a detailed timeline for prep work, material application, and cure process; and presented me with a detailed, and competitive quote that included a moisture barrier application sufficient to protect the garage floor from the high reading of moisture content in the slab. Once we worked out the details, his work proved to be as expected â totally professional with great attention to detail. He arrived on time each day, was considerate to neighbors regarding placement of his equipment and cleanliness of the work area, and completed the job on time. Through the process, he kept me informed of every aspect of the concrete grinding, and each step of the application process. Thank you for a job well done!!"

"Review by Joe N. in Apollo Beach, FL Project: Coat concrete garage floor with Epoxy. Les Thomas, the owner, and his workers did a fantastic job. Les was great to work with. The job was done on time and he took a lot of time to explain the process. I received a number of different quotes and his pricing was the best. He even refunded me $140 less than he quoted me, because he over estimated the sq. footage. What an honest man and so rare in this day and age. We love our garage floor. I would highly recommend Elite Epoxy and Les Thomas."

Enclosing a carport essentially turns it into a garage. You’ll start by framing and finishing exterior walls, then add a garage door (averaging $1,200), windows, and wiring for lights or outlets.
Plan for site prep and, if needed, a thicker slab to handle the added weight. Once the walls are up, insulation, drywall, and exterior siding create a secure, weather-tight space that protects vehicles and gear year-round.
A well-built carport may not add a huge dollar figure to an appraisal, but it can boost buyer appeal. Covered parking protects vehicles and lawn equipment, sharpens curb appeal, and fills what might otherwise be an empty driveway space. If the carport matches your home’s style and stays in good repair, it can make the property more attractive and competitive when you decide to sell.
Most cities and counties require a building permit for a new carport. Fees range from $60 to $800, depending on local codes and the size of the structure. Getting the permit upfront ensures the carport meets zoning rules and HOA guidelines, protecting you from fines or expensive retrofits later. Check with your building department—or ask your contractor—before ordering materials or scheduling installation.
A poured concrete slab is the gold standard for carport foundations. Concrete delivers superior load-bearing strength, keeps posts level, and resists shifting in freeze-thaw conditions. While gravel, dirt, or permeable pavers cost less upfront, they can’t match concrete’s long-term stability, especially if you might convert the carport into a garage later. Investing in a slab now can save money and hassle down the road.
Pre-made kits start at $300 and bundle all the required parts—sometimes installation, too—making them the most budget-friendly option. Custom carports cost more ($12 to $40 per square foot plus labor) but let you match the design, size, and finishes to your home.
If price and quick setup top your list, go with a kit. If you have a tricky layout or want a seamless aesthetic, investing in a custom build is worth the premium.
