"Extremely satisfied with the expertise and work of Miles, the garage door repair technician. He replaced both a broken torsion spring and it's unbroken mate. Conducted a thorough inspection of the entire garage door and opener system. Performed lubrication of all the door pivots, the new springs, the rollers, the tracks and the cables."

"I am extremely impressed with Ray. Highly professional and knowledgeable, pays close attention to details and looks over the entire job and different ways of getting the work done. My Dad who is 89 y/o has a 2 car garage but has not used one side of the garage for a car because he has LOTS of tools on that side. Recently, we’ve downside some of his tools and now want to use that side of the garage too. However, the garage door opener that is 25 years old wasn’t working and we were under the impression it needed to be replaced. We had a couple other repairmen out to give us estimates. Ray came out and studied the setup that was in place, and the garage itself as everything with the garage is original and 80 years old. He took pics because he hadn’t seen the system that operated the doors. He also pointed out things the other repairmen hadn’t. He told me an issue we might have because of the sensitive nature of the newer garage door openers. He was very thorough. Now keep in mind I called and told him the current garage door opener didn’t work and we were replacing it. We talked about options. He also took a look at the current garage door opener and he put it back on the trolley (something the other repairmen who looked at it didn’t do) and the garage door opener worked. My Dad doesn’t need a new one. I asked what we owed and he said no charge. I was floored and felt bad because he had fixed the old one. In the end we needed two remote garage door openers because after not using it for 25 years my Dad would have no idea where they were. I would use him again and will recommend him to family and friends."

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.
