"Ray called me to tell me that he would be a little delayed, but he was out at around 10:45 am. After about an hour of work (spring repair plus a little maintenance), the garage door was as good as new. I would definitely call Ray again with any garage repairs!!"

"They did a fabulous job on a quartz garage floor. They didn't dig it up complete. They did patch, and sealed, and put this stuff on. They are great. I would definitely recommend them.
They gave us a number of choices for a finish for colors. For us they also had, instead of a solid color, they were able to put flecks of darker brownish black in it. It held up really well, and it looks so nice. It has held up very well, and its easy to clean. It transformed a really terrible looking floor into something we are really proud of. I think they definitely met our expectations. And all the categories I would give him the top rating. They were by far the best price too, because I got quote that were double."

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.
