"Great service and very reasonable! I called AB Garage Door on a Tuesday morning, Alan got back to me a little over an hour later and was at my house approximately 15 minutes after that. Wow! They fixed my broken cable, replaced a roller, and lubricated the mechanisms. My garage door now works like new. Agree with comments about being careful about other companies using call centers, etc. I made that mistake in the past. Highly recommend Alan and his company!"

"Great customer service! I inquired on their website and received a call back within a few hours. Chris was extremely honest and gave us a very fair estimate for the job. We signed off on the job the second week of March and the work was completed 2 weeks later! Hudson & Matt completed the project and were fantastic! Showed up right on time and explained everything they would be doing. They started our 2 car garage at 8am and were all cleaned up by 3:00pm! We are so happy with our new garage floor, it looks AWESOME! I would highly recommend GNU Garage!"

"I had an original garage door from 1960 which desperately needed to be replaced i called and made an appointment and Ryan came out on time explain to me the services that would be performed during this time I told him of a vehicle that cannot be moved and he assured me everything would be fine.We scheduled an installation date Ryan and Adam came right on time ( which to get anyone on time on cape cod is amazing in its self ) on a Saturday and went right to work and the project came out flawless and no damage to my vehicle. Ryan then took the time to answer all my questions after the installation and they both cleaned up the remains of the old door. If youâ re looking for any type of garage Door repair or installation look no further than mid Cape garage door excellent service excellent communication."

"I called Matt Monday evening and he tackled the job Tuesday afternoon. I explained to Matt that the door was at an angle (my car was inside the garage) and I could not open or close the door. He showed up when he said he would, replaced the cables which were broken, replaced the rollers and the door is working and QUIETER than it ever was! He did a wonderful job.and we are very pleased."

"Excellent service from start to finish! The technician arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issue with my garage door, and explained everything clearly before starting the repair. The work was completed efficiently, the price was fair, and the garage door now works perfectly. The technician was friendly, professional, and left the area clean when the job was finished. I highly recommend Home Service Garage Door Company to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality garage door service. I would definitely use them again."
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.
