"JD was a wonderful find. He is friendly, flexible, and
focused. I had retired from teaching in Brooklyn, NY to share a house with my
mother, and there were times when we needed skilled hands to help us with some
of the refurbishing tasks. He did all kinds of jobs for us, including painting (bathrooms
and porch furniture), hanging wall art and a stained glass window, replacing
doors, assembling a new bed with heavy head and footboards, replacing rotted
wood on exterior window frames, assembling other furniture pieces, and too many
other small tasks to mention. He made my
transition much easier, and I will continue to contact him for any other needs
that we might have. He is a very competent handyman.

"They were very unorganized. They advertized a quality experience that they did not provide, especially concerning things like plumbing and electrical items. Some things we even had to help out with and tell them what to do. We had a hard time getting them to do the finishing touches and project touch-ups on the bathroom. Overall, I'm 90% happy with the job and the look of my bathroom but I would not use them again for anything. The tile work is good--it's not great but it's pretty good. There were some things that they didn't check. Also, they wouldn't want to work in the rain even though they were working inside our house. They made a mess on my back porch where they cut and painted stuff. I had to clean Sheetrock mud off my sliding glass door, and they never offered to vacuum. We had bought a really nice cabinet for them to put in there and they kept looking for the hardware for it. They called me and accused my teenagers of moving their hardware for the installation. The next day they found it, one of their own employees had moved it. There were a bunch of little things that added up to be larger things. I'm not totally dissatisfied with the work, the bathroom does look great. I just won't be using them for upcoming projects."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"Greg came out and they would do during the installation such as puttint up dry wall so they have something to attach the door opener to. They used the dry wall that I had which was the way I wanted it.
When Jim came out to install the garage door he called me when he was leaving Meridian and told me approximately when he would arrive. He was very punctual as was Greg. Jim installed the door just as was discussed. It took him most of the day as this was an odd size door. Jim was very plesant and knowledgable about the products and told me what he was doing and why he was doing things the way he was doing them. I have a tendency to ask a lot of questions about what is going on and he answered every question I had.
When he was finished he explained the operation of the door and how to program the outside key lock as well, He told me if I had a questions in the future do not hesitate to call. Jim was very thorough about making sure he picked up any mess he has made.
I would not hesitate to use them again in the future. In fact I am going to talk to them about the insullation in my home late on.

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.
