"Repair job turned into a new opener installation. Felt their diagnosis and recommendation to install new opener was honest and fair. Honored (without asking) an old coupon 'sticker' on the garage door for labor discount and also one for a free keypad opener. And accepted a free service call discount for mentioning the phone book ad. Very professional job and customer interaction. Very pleased overall. Only 4.5 stars above ...because very little is truly worth 5 stars, IMHO."

"Once he was able to fit us into his schedule, his crew showed up promptly and worked til the job was complete. Joe was patient and helpful in examining our options for insulation, doors and windows and his price was fair. I had a couple change orders, which he graciously fit in ... small sliding door to a loft. His crew worked like a well-oiled machine and did a great job on everything. Windows were placed exactly as we asked and the steel interior turned out great. Thank you Cover's Construction!"

"Mike was out to give me a quote, within 24 hours. I had a new garage door installed, and a color to match my house was available, just not in stock and would be 3-4 weeks before it would be available. Since the old door was literally not operable, I got t he standard white, and decided I'll get it painted. He was able to match it exactly, and it looks exactly like the pre painted door that I would have had to wait for. The entire process was simple, the quote was very reasonable, I'm very happy with the results"

His attention to detail is impeccable— from the framing to the wider steps and even the rounded corners, every aspect was handled with care. Matt completed the work promptly and communication throughout the process was perfect. Thanks Matt."

FAQs for garage and garage door service projects in Dallas Center, IA

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.
