"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!"

Customers say: Quick response
"The owner of Master Garage was very prompt in contacting me about the job, coming out for the estimate, and following through on doing the job. I was very pleased with the assistance I received on which option was best for what I was trying to accomplish (polyurthane vs epoxy finish), but wish that there had been some color samples to look at to help make a final decision. Overall, I am very satisfied with the process and the job. I chose polyurthane to finish a basement floor and was especially pleased with the repairs made to major cracks present in the floor before the finish was applied. I was a bit surprised that the owner never followed up after the job was done to see for himself how it turned out, but maybe he only does that if the customer calls about any issues or complaints."

"Great service and very reasonable! I called AB Garage Door on a Tuesday morning, Alan got back to me a little over an hour later and was at my house approximately 15 minutes after that. Wow! They fixed my broken cable, replaced a roller, and lubricated the mechanisms. My garage door now works like new. Agree with comments about being careful about other companies using call centers, etc. I made that mistake in the past. Highly recommend Alan and his company!"

"I had a broken spring which prevented the garage door from operating. The team replaced the springs quickly, without me even having to move the car! All the work was explained to me, as well as future maintenance clarified. Both the specialists were courteous, professional, and masked! Would absolutely hire again and recommend."

"Our garage doors and motors were in need of replacement for some time. We contacted and got quotes from three local companies (Overhead Doors of Danvers, Karmin Door, and Saugus Overhead Door).
The bid from Overhead Door from Danvers was $3,300 so we immediately ruled them out. The bids from Karmin and Saugus Overhead Door were within $50 of each other, and we decided to go with Saugus Overhead Door.
The installer was very good in terms of arriving and completing on time, and cleaning up. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the look of the new doors and the quiet openers.

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.
