"This was my best experience with a contractor ever! I worked with Dan Coyle from Coach House who jumped through all the hoops associated with building a garage in a historic neighborhood (Woodruff Place). He kept me well informed on the progress. Once all the permissions were obtained, the garage went up in a day. Dan even arranged for a fence contractor to join the remaining fencing with the garage so that everything would be secure. I am absolutely delighted with the result and I recommend Coach House enthusiastically!"

"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."

"Installer came out the next day and did the install. He was very nice and mindful of our baby in the house. We didn’t even know he was there. Once he was finished he took my wife and I through the operation of the door and remotes and things to watch out for as far as the censors. He answered our questions throughly and was great to work with."

"I found them on HomeAdvisor online. Have not much knowledge in garage doors but as soon as I received a call from E.K. Garage Door Repair it became simple. Ezra called me and asked what I needed? I told him and he was out right away within 24 hours. I m sure it would have been faster if I was able to be home. I asked him how much the price was over the phone. He gave me a ballpark answer which I was looking for. And to me it was on the low side of the price he gave me. No messing around no trying to add extra work or try to get me to upgrade. Did exactly what I wanted perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend E.K. Because when they came out, right to business in a professional manner. Now I have a garage door guy and I was very impressed with the customer service, work that was done and the price I paid. Thanks E.K. Job well done!"

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.
