"Had a broken spring on our garage door. The door could not be opened and our cars were stuck in the garage. Called the repair company on a Saturday and they were able to send a service rep the next Monday. The Service rep arrived within the promised timeframe. The Rep explained the options of service very well and the costs associated with each. Based on the age of the door we opted for the complete overhaul service. The work was done to our satisfaction and am grateful to have the door working again."

"Kerry is both professional and friendly. He accommodated my early morning schedule requests. He and his painters did a great job with some repairs I needed to popcorn ceilings and also with painting two interior rooms. Once the weather warms up I expect him back to stain the garage floor. Highly recommend him."

"Alex is a true craftsman He built a 300 foot 6 foot tall privacy fence for us. It has both a small and large gate. He also repaired our vinyl fence and tied it in with the new fence. Alex is kind, prompt, attentive, and competent. He has worked in construction most of his life. He communicated with us well. He also helped with some small additional projects at no cost. I recommend him without reservation. Steve, Hampstead, NC February 2022"

"Zech put up our backyard fence shortly after we bought our home. He is extremely professional, and did an amazing job on the fence and all the gates. He finished the job in only two days. We've had the fence up for several months now, already through one tropical storm and it hasn't budged! Would recommend to anyone!"

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.
