"I had my old roll-up garage doors replaced with regular garage doors. A technician from the company came out, measured, and ordered the doors. Once the doors arrived from the manufacturer, the same technician returned and took down my old doors and installed the new doors. Took a couple of hours, but did a good job. My new doors are very easy to open and close now. I'm very satisfied. Cost $2000.00 for 2 new doors, hardware, and installation."

"It’s been said that you form your opinion of a person within 2 minutes of meeting them and I can tell you these two young men are outstanding. Smiles on their faces and ready to do the job for you from the time they drove up. I had 2 1980’s garage doors that were completely worn out and needed replacing. Joe and Dennis are very professional in their approach to the task before them. They did a marvelous job and my wife and I are so happy and completely satisfied with the doors. Absolutely beautiful!! All you have to do is turn them loose, get out of their way and just let them do what they do. You won’t find anyone anywhere that will do you a better job than these two. They’ll even take the time to stop and jaw with you if you’ll get them a soft drink and a snack. My impression was that these two fellows were country boys just like me. My kind of folks. My recommendation for them is a 10!! You can’t go wrong with them."
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.
