"The technician, Steve, called ahead to let me know he was on his way. He arrived early in the appointment window I had been given. He got right to work and removed my old garage door quickly. He was very professional and polite. I would definitely use Fast Fix again!"

"We love our new garage door. It's the best-looking garage door in our neighborhood, bar none. Juan was wonderful. He took his time and did a splendid job. We also can't believe how quiet it is compared to our old door that made quite a racket, especially when opening it. We also got a new LiftMaster opener which Juan also installed flawlessly. It's a "Smart" opener so we can open & close the garage door with our smartphones. Plus the new garage door has insulation and Juan put a seal around the door so the garage will be warmer in winter and cooler in summer. We love it and the professionalism of Juan and the Plano Overhead Garage Door company."

"Jason with Dad's Garage Door came out and repaired our "vintage" garage doors.They were the old style pull down doors and the springs had gotten out of adjustment. The doors would not close all the way down and one would not stay up and open. We were told that we would have to have new garage doors by another company because you couldn't get those springs anymore. Jason repaired the old ones for us and saved us about $3500.00. Told us if we have any other problems just call him and he will come back out. We would highly recommend him for any type of garage door repair."

"They did a very good job at a very reasonable price. We were afraid that we were going to be told the whole garage door had to be replaced and when they said no and they just had to order a panel that matches and replace it, we were extremely happy. The workers were very good."

Brandon was able to identify the issue within seconds of witnessing my garage door problem and fixed it so quickly it blew my mind! On top of that, he was so personable and professional. If I ever have a garage door issue or question again, I know who to call! If you need help with your garage, this company is your best decision."

He check other area of my garage door and pointed out other issue soon to arise in the future. I had him do it while he was here to do it. I highly recommend them for your garage door service."
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.
