"I couldn't be happier with the service and product. Steve gave me a quote for the entire job the day after first calling him, and his crew came out two weeks later to start the work. They were right on time, made quick work of the garage, from grinding and shot blasting to the first layer of epoxy and color chips. The final product is stunning, and my only regret is not doing it sooner."

"Great service from initial contact arriving onsite evaluation of the problem with the existing garage door opener I hired Hash on the spot, and I am glad I did. Hash installed my new garage door opener in record time when he finished the installation, Hash explained all the functions in detail a toddler could understand, and he gave great suggestions to help maintain the garage opener and doors. If you need garage door or opener service, contact Hashtag Garage Services. You will not be disappointed."

Customers say: Quick response
"Working with Zach King (and his assistant, also named Zach) was great from start to finish. He gave a clear estimate (both in terms of money and time), arrived when he said he would, completed the project in time and explained what he was doing every step of the way. He went above and beyond what was expected and even helped me finish a project I was working on that was not related to the garage flooring. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had of getting work done in Sussex County."

"I found them on Angies List and they were the first business to contact me. Followed through with being on time for their estimate consultation and I hired them on the spot! Ben was very knowledgeable of his product and came to do the job within the week. Worked until the job was done, in the dark! I have already had several of my friends and neighbors contact them, even my sister in CA is interested in getting this application done at her home after seeing my before and after pictures! Highly recommend them! Support local businesses!"

"Brandon is very responsive and communicates well with customers to determine exactly what they want and need. He offers suggestions and ideas but is not pushy about it. Brandon has done many projects for us and he has done the jobs promptly and correctly and working around our schedules. In fact, we are having Brandon work on a couple more projects shortly."
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.
