"Alan is a trustworthy guy who wants to make his customers happy. For big jobs, he works with a friend, and both of them together can do essentially anything (including basic electrical and basic plumbing). We first hired him to remodel our bathroom. It included tearing a wall down and expanding it so a bath could fit in the room. They also had to tear down a 150 year old brick chimney in the process. They installed a new vanity, built a shelving unit into the wall and put in the lighting. The finished product was good. The room was not square, but the house is built in 1836, so I don't know if anyone could have done that.
Next, we had him install a railing on our stairs. This came out great no complaints.
He then installed a bedroom with laminate flooring and also the stair landing. This job was not as clean, some of the floor trim was not edged and the lines of the wood running from the bedroom to the stair landing were not flush. These negatives though were a result of a positive - that is, for this job, he worked from dusk until sun up because he had other jobs/commitments later in the week. He is an extremely hard worker. For this job we traded the finishing touches for timely completion - and overall the finished product was still good.
The last major job was the sheetrocking in between our beams downstairs.
In most jobs, there was a little clean up I had to do - pieces of wood from the carpentry of the bathroom left in a crawlspace, horsehair plaster or sheetrock left crumbled on the floor. They forgot to include thresholds in the bathroom and bedroom jobs as well. HOWEVER, whenever I spoke with Alan about any of this, anything I had not already done, he came over promptly and fixed/completed/cleaned it. He was reachable and kind and we trusted him. He said a few times that he wanted to make sure we were happy.
We called him on two or three separate occasions because he is a hard worker, he is trustworthy and his price is reasonable. We would call him again for sure.

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.
