"Bryan did an awesome job on my really badly aligned garage doors. I can barely hear them roll up and down now. He also installed new top of the line super quiet openers. The garage feels so much better now having quiet and easy opening doors. HUGE improvement, worth the effort and cost. I'm very strongly recommending Bryan to anyone in need of some garage door work."

"Needed to replace Main drive gear. Do not carry in stock and cannot order it (Wayne Dalton). Said can't get too old etc. I found it online for $40 with the entire parts list for the machine. A little disappointed I was not told that and of course the only alternative was to buy an entire new machine at $400 or $600. I guess if you list yourself as a repair company you should do repair and not just replace. I'm in the construction industry and this is one of our rental houses, I was on the phone but not at the site. Paid via credit card but still have not received a receipt after contacting three times. However the charge has already gone through. However best intention this company is.. my suggestion would be to use the company or manufacturer of your current garage door it will save you a lot of money. In my case 3 to $400. One of the downsides is they have a national phone scheduling subcontractor which can get confusing at times and they are not very knowledgeable concerning their products."

"The install went well. The metal awning looks great and was made to fit the back of the garage perfectly to provide a covered parking spot for our truck."

"Joe Thom with Oakmont Carpentry provided high quality workmanship and was extremely reliable, trustworthy, and consistently communicated with us throughout the entire project. We had to put a new deck on our home with railing as well as new soffits, fascia and siding on the front of our home. We had a contractor steal our money and not complete the work paid for, and Joe worked with us to finish the work within the budget we had left to do it. He was amazing and I would highly reommend him for any carpentry work!"

"Robert and Tammie from RTD Custom Carpentry did a wonderful job! We would highly recommend them for any project. They are knowledgeable and professional. We started our build with someone who unfortunately did not turn out and was making large structural mistakes. Robert was able to come in and make out home structurally sound. Robert and Tammie were also flexible when we decided to make some adjustments to the plans. They are very understanding and accommodating. They treat you like family! They are also upfront, honest, and affordable. We could not be more pleased with our project. We will definitely be hiring them again in the future."

"Erin did an amazing job on building a custom deck, framing and installing french doors and finishing all drywall and necessary trim. I get comments on the work constantly. He was professional, friendly, open to suggestions, worked in a clean, timely manner and as if he was working on his own home. I can't wait to call and hire him for my next job."
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.
