"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."

"We hired Nixon for a small (one-bedroom) painting projectâ  walls, ceilings, trim, and interior doors. He was extremely thorough and professional every step of the way, and extremely responsive to texts, calls and emails. When he came to give us a quote, he was able to identify several instances of water damage and warping and he gave us the option of doing these repairs to ensure the best possible outcome. He also took care of matching paint colors and purchasing the paint beforehand. The room looks immaculate and all was accomplished in about 2.5 days. Nixon is hardworking, versatile, trustworthy, and talented. We will be bringing him back for more home projects!"
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.
