"Five stars for Empire Builders & Remodeling. They built our entire home from the ground up on our vacant lot in Rotonda West, Florida. The project was handled professionally from start to finish. Vitaliy communicated well, handled the permitting process, stayed within the budget we discussed, and made sure the construction stayed on track. He was always responsive and straightforward whenever we had questions. We were especially happy with the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail throughout the house. Everything came together very well, and they even finished a little ahead of our scheduled move-in date. We also appreciate that Vitaliy has remained responsive after the project was completed. It's reassuring to work with a builder who doesn't disappear once the job is finished. Overall, it was a very positive building experience. We would definitely recommend Empire Builders & Remodeling and plan on working with them again in the future."
"The Pro Juan was knowledgeable and was able to perfectly replace both door frames. The communication was great and my tenants are finally happy with the door."
"Leroy and Wayne were both very professional and went above and beyond for my gutter replacement I needed my soffits painted on the whole house and they helped me hire a painter they have used in past to spray the paint on the soffits because they tried to brush the paint on and realized the holes to let the house breathe we’re getting clogged. That was just good honest business to do the right thing for me and lose a little income for them but give me a better result in the end. I would highly recommend these guys also because they are a family business teaching their sons the trade on the job."
"What a easy way to get your home remodeling projects done. Bronson walked us through the entire process and timeline. It was such a great experience from start to finish. I never felt like other parts of my house were a complete mess with construction. The budget we agreed on was met. Bronson is extremely friendly and communicates great until the project is finished. Thank you again!!"
"Angela and her crew did an amazing job. They built the garage to my specification exactly the way I wanted. All their workers were experts and what they did respectful very good people. Not only that but they navigated Charlotte county's permit process better than any contractor I have had."
"So easy to work with. Timely, and professional. Totally satisfied. The pergola they built for me is beautiful. I can easily recommend them. They told me i would be happy and I am. Thanks guys. I will use you again. Recommending you to anyone that is looking for an honest and dependable contractor."
When you’re painting a garage floor, it’s best to use a combination of rollers and brushes. You’ll want to start with a brush, making a border around the edges where the floor meets the wall. From there you can use a roller, though some people also like to do the entire first coat with a brush because it’s easier to work the paint into the textured concrete.
Always lock the door that separates your garage and your home. However, garage doors are seldom entrance points for thieves. It takes quite a bit of work and noise to pry open a garage door, so thieves often opt for windows or unlocked doors. Unless they have access to the motor which controls the door, as long as it's functioning properly you shouldn't worry too much about it.

Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage.
Garage floor sealers last anywhere from one to 10 years on average, depending on the type of sealer you use and the traffic it’s exposed to. Acrylic sealers have the shortest longevity, whereas most other options can last anywhere from five to 10 years. If you use an acrylic sealant to protect against stains, reapply every one to two years. Reapply other types of concrete sealers every five years for the best results and maximum protection.
