We are beyond impressed with the work Elite Builders Renovations did on our rental property bathroom remodel. They completely transformed an outdated, worn-out bathroom into a modern, elegant space that looks absolutely incredible. Every detail, from the tile work to the vanity, fixtures, and overall finish, was completed with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Throughout the project, the team was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. They kept the job site clean, stayed on schedule, and made sure everything was done right. The quality of the finished product exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the result. If you're looking for a contractor who takes pride in their work and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Elite Builders Renovations. We'll definitely be using them again for future home projects!

Working with Elite Builders to bring Aloha Clothing Wear to life on Clearwater Beach was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From day one, their team was professional, organized, and truly invested in our vision. They understood that building a retail space on Clearwater Beach isn’t just construction — it’s creating an experience. They delivered exactly that. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and quality of work exceeded our expectations. Every phase of the project was handled efficiently, and communication was clear and consistent throughout. They stayed on schedule, handled inspections smoothly, and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. What really stood out was their problem-solving mindset. Anytime a challenge came up (as it always does in construction), they handled it quickly and professionally without slowing down progress. Thanks to Elite Builders, Aloha Clothing Wear is not just a store — it’s a beautiful, welcoming space that truly represents our brand. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality construction team that delivers results, I highly recommend Elite Builders.

Why Choose Us

Why Tampa Bay Families Choose Us for Garage Conversion

We are local to Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties,

Working across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the surrounding towns.

A conversion only counts as living space if the inspector agrees it is,

Which is why clients write about the paperwork as much as the build:

They navigated the complex city permitting process.

Certified General Contractor in Florida since 2016, license CGC1537676,

With $1,000,000 in liability coverage and workers’ compensation.

The first consultation is free and takes about an hour.

We measure the garage, check the ceiling height and slab fall,

Talk through what the room could be, and leave you with a written quote.

Turning a garage into living space always needs a permit, and sometimes a zoning check.

We file through a private provider rather than the county alone,

So approvals come faster, and we meet the inspectors ourselves.

We Create Stunning Amazing Modern Spaces

How Your Garage Conversion Runs

These five stages are how we keep it straightforward:

  • Project start and end dates are agreed upon before we start.
  • Costs are agreed upon before we build.
  • You are kept in the loop from the first walkthrough to the last.
contact us phase icon

Walkthrough and Free Estimate

We measure the ceiling height, the slab fall, where the panel is, and whether the HVAC can carry another room,

Then price the work to your budget.

remodel proposal phase icon

Design and Permit Drawings

Our designer lays out the room, and the drawings include the required egress and insulation values.

You see it drawn before anything is submitted.

renovation plans phase icon

Permits and Zoning

We file through a private provider and chase the approval ourselves.

This is the stage that stalls most garage conversions and is the reason people give up on them.

remodeling phase icon

Build, With Daily Updates

Photos every day in a group text while the room takes shape.

If we open a wall and find the framing, the wiring, or the slab needs more than we priced, you get the photo that day and a figure before we carry on.

Nothing gets closed up until you have seen it.

And we sweep clean at the end of each day.

finish construction phase icon

Inspection and Final Walkthrough

Final inspection signed off, so the room is legally living space, not a garage with carpet in it.

Final payment comes only once you are happy with it.

What a Garage Can Become

Two hundred to four hundred square feet you are currently parking in.

On its own, or as part of a whole home remodel.

Bedroom or Guest Suite

With an egress window, a closet, and a bathroom if the plumbing can reach.

The conversion that actually changes what your house is worth.

Home Office, Gym, or Playroom

Insulated, air conditioned, and quiet enough to take a call in.

The simplest version of this job, and the quickest.

Garage to ADU or Studio

A kitchenette, a full bathroom, and its own entrance.

Rentable where the zoning allows it, which we check before you commit.

Insulation, HVAC, and Egress

Walls and ceiling insulated to code, a window someone could climb out of,

And conditioned air that doesn’t come from a portable unit.

These three are what the inspector actually looks for.

Floor Leveling and Moisture

A garage slab sits low and slopes to the door, so it gets built up and leveled.

With a moisture barrier, because it was never meant to be a floor you walk on barefoot.

Garage conversion icon

Replacing the Garage Door

Framed, insulated, and finished outside to match the house.

Done properly, nobody can tell there was ever a garage door there.

The Estimate Is Free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to convert a garage?

Yes, always, and sometimes a zoning check as well. We file through a private provider and meet the inspectors ourselves, which is the part that usually stalls.

Some areas require replacement parking before they will approve the conversion. We check that at the walkthrough rather than after you have paid for drawings.

Four to eight weeks of building once the permit is issued, and the permit is the part that varies. You get both dates when you sign.

We price each garage individually, with clear upfront pricing rather than a vague range, and tailor the scope to your budget. The estimate is free.

It adds square footage, which is what an appraiser counts, but only if it is permitted and signed off. An unpermitted conversion can count against you instead.

One year on our labor. Anything needing attention is ours to put right.
