"This company is very prompt and quick. They got the job done. However, in all honesty there were a couple of things I did not like or appreciate. 1) Without asking me they slapped a oval sticker with their company's info on my painted wall right next to my garage door button. I clearly know how to contact this company for future work and don't need a random advertisement sticker in my garage. I peeled the sticker off and it removed my wall's paint....ugh! 2) I appreciate promptness, however the team arrived >1 hour early on a holiday morning. Again, I appreciate them being responsive. But their early unexpected arrival jolted me out of my sleep....I just wish they would have called me to ask if it was ok to show up >1hr early instead of just showing up. 3) when they left, my garage door was squealing bad when opening and closing due to the new tension set on the spring. I spent time when I noticed to lubricate all of the hinges on the door...all good now...but wish they would have done that as part of the service. Regardless of some of these somewhat small irritations...I'd still recommend them to anyone having garage door issues."

"I am so impressed by this company and by Brandon especially. They contacted me immediately and even offered to come out same day. I unfortunately wasn’t available, so we scheduled for the next day. Brandon was able to identify the issue within seconds of witnessing my garage door problem and fixed it so quickly it blew my mind! On top of that, he was so personable and professional. If I ever have a garage door issue or question again, I know who to call! If you need help with your garage, this company is your best decision."
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.
