"We had an incredibly good experience with Precision Garage Door this week. Our garage door separated from the track and the supports broke loose from the wall of our garage. I called Precision and then sent a technician, Danny Salas, to our home to repair the door. He was excellent and fixed the door in no time. He was courteous and very efficient. We could not be happier with his work. Even better, Precision reminded me that they had done work on our garage door in 2017 and they covered the entire repair under their warranty from that previous call. Excellent experience all around! We too are customers for life!"

"I would recommend 33rd to my family and friends; Guy who was the installer of my motorized door opener was excellent; he professionally installed the equipment, and explained everything step by step regarding the operation of the garage door opener; although Guy came late on both occasions, his personality made up for it."

"Durable door replaced the top hinges on our garage door. All seemed to work fine but after 6 weeks the hinges popped off the track again. They came back right away and replaced the hinges with heavy duty ones. The garage door is working fine. There was no extra charge the second trip. Well done."

"Roni arrived promptly, provided excellent advice, and worked efficiently throughout the entire job. He even made additional adjustments to my existing garage door to ensure the new opener functioned properly. The entire installation was completed within two hours of his arrival. His professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Roni for any garage door or opener installation and repair needs."

"I hired Ryan and Indigo Construction for a complete garage transformation, including renovation, painting, framing, drywall repair, removal of old debris, attic insulation, electrical work, LED lighting installation, trim work, attic ladder installation, and epoxy flooring. Overall, I had a positive experience working with Ryan. He was responsive, communicated well throughout the project, and was willing to answer questions and discuss different options as the work progressed. The crew arrived when expected, kept the project moving, and completed the work within a reasonable timeframe. The finished garage came out great. The epoxy floor has a clean, professional appearance and completely transformed the space. The lighting, trim, and attic ladder installation also turned out well and really tied the project together. Ryan did a good job coordinating multiple trades, which made the renovation process much easier."

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.
