"We had an incredibly good experience with Precision Garage Door this week. Our garage door separated from the track and the supports broke loose from the wall of our garage. I called Precision and then sent a technician, Danny Salas, to our home to repair the door. He was excellent and fixed the door in no time. He was courteous and very efficient. We could not be happier with his work. Even better, Precision reminded me that they had done work on our garage door in 2017 and they covered the entire repair under their warranty from that previous call. Excellent experience all around! We too are customers for life!"

"Gabriel was super responsive and educational. Evaluated job and bid on same day that I called which was a Friday. Installed 3 days later on Monday. He clearly explained the options with their pros and cons. I talked with 4 bidders, one of whom was pushing a much lower price (read lower quality) option. I chose 27 gauge steel, insulated doors. Much lighter and quieter than my old wooden doors. Plus, they look great. Besides being responsive and educational, Gabriel is a nice guy I saw a picture on his phone of his daughter, so we made a nice personal connection. And I want to praise Jesus who installed the door - tough name to live up to...... But a thorough, neat, quality-oriented, hard-working guy. They make a great team, and I recommend them without any reservations!!

"Connecticut Garage Doors was professional, prompt, and value priced. I would highly recommend hiring them for your garage door needs! Communication was great, pricing was clearly presented, work was done on time, and they treat your home like their home. A prior company installed the wrong springs on my door, which Mike noticed after replacing the springs. My door is now balanced and working as it should. These guys went above and beyond; you can't go wrong hiring Connecticut Garage Doors! Connecticut Garage Doors will be my first call, and I will recommend to friends, neighbors, and family."

"Excellent- The owner Mike Mascolo did a great job installing the new opener. He installed the opener, a wall keypad, an exterior keypad and a new molding. The prior opener was scraping the top of the garage door. The new one works quietly and smoothly without scraping the door. Would definitely use them again for anything garage door related."

"Our garage doors are a perfect match to our new front door. I'm so glad Dan convinced us to go with the windows in the doors. It not only adds curb appeal but the natural light inside the garage is an absolute bonus. I'll use this company again."

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.
