"My garage door was uneven, and Alamo Garage Doors fixed it quickly. The technician tested the door several times to make sure it was safe. I felt confident after the service."

"Job was costed out and completed within 48 hours of my first contact. Workers stayed late into the night to get it done -- looks like they underestimated the labor but stuck to their bid price. Cleaned up and took a lot of junk (the old openers) when they left. Doors, probably 75 years old or more, are now working smoothly, with all new rollers as well as motors and electronics."

"Gary was great! They are prompt and courteous and have competitive prices and, Gary is extremely knowledgeable. Since our 120 year old garage had an unusual sized opening, we needed a specially sized door made so, it was important to work with someone who knew what they were doing (not all of the estimators we had out did) They also have a good warranty. I highly recommend them!"

"Simply wonderfully. 2-person team came out to make the estimate. (They volunteered to do it via sending photos, but happened to be in the area.) Showed me options courteously safely and distanced. Received the quote the same evening, and the next day, scheduled it via email to take place when the doors were in stock. Received a call when they were in, and they were able to schedule me in just a couple days later. It was the dead of winter and about zero degrees out, but the two-man team had these beasts installed (and the old ones removed) all during daylight hours. What an absolute treat to have whisper-quiet garage doors, too. Fab quality, excellent workmanship, great service. I wish I had another garage so they could replace those doors too."

"We spoke to a lot of overhead door guys and they all seem pretty similar when it comes to door selection, quality and openers. The prices varied alot and Sal was the best price for the quality we were looking at. I liked Sal the most of all of the guys we spoke to: he was very personable, easy to deal with, gave us the options in a straightforward way.
We ended up going with another company because my wife liked the style of one specific door that he did not carry. I wish he could have. Will post our experience with the other company after he installs.

"I had an old external door that was broken. Bob replaced the door and did a great job around the broken concrete and dry wall. It was a small project but it went really well. I am happy with the new 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.
