"I had a different company come to do my garage door repairs and received a quote. The quote seemed high to me so I contacted Legacy Garage Doors to get a second opinion and quote. Seth came out and was very transparent about what the repairs that were needed and cost. The quote was lower and I hired Legacy on the spot. Work was completed quickly and to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Legacy Garage Doors."

"My garage door spring broke Friday morning, so called at 8:30am and an appointment was set for between 9-11am. Matt sent a text stating his experience, and would be helping repair my garage door. He arrived around 9:10. The job was completed with an hour! He was very professional & knowledgeable and added some missing screws to my garage door that we did not even notice. This is a reliable company and recommend them for any garage door needs! I am 100% satisfied!!"

"My Service Tech was on time and very professional. He submitted a quote and for the repair I needed was the best price. An earlier company quoted that the job required 2.5 hours and Precision quoted 30 minutes and could do the job right now. Other company couldnâ t schedule until a later date. I accepted the quote from Precision and the work was done to my satisfaction. When I need any garage work in the future Precision is my go to company."

"My wife wanted a screened in patio for her Christmas present. We received 3 bids. This bid tied with 1 other contractor. We chose Southern because they specialize in the project we needed. We also added on Gutters to the home. All came out great! From the initial call to the payment, they could not be a better company to work with. We have recommended them to our friends and will use them again on our next home."

"Quick response and repair to garage door."
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.
