"Install went flawlessly! They even programmed my car to open the new garage doors. I opted for a higher tech model of opener than the usual residential model so now the fit and finish inside matches the fit and finish outside. Well done!"

"Garage Lux general contractor has done many projects for me which was done professionally and on time. They removed my old garage door and replaced it with regular door and screen. My old front door was removed and replaced with new door. My back porch gutters were removed and replaced and the old wood was torn off and replaced with new wood. All the old screens were replaced with new ones and a new fan with light fixtures was installed by them. I would recommend them if you are in need of work to do around your home. I would give this company a 10 out of 10."

"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."

"We hired Jim Lockhart to design and construct our old run down screen porch and make it into a three season porch. Jim used excellent communication skills and computer technology to design, explain and show pictures of the finished product. His forty years of experience were evident when he went over the progress of the project, and the cost factor of the project was reasonable and fair. He also put two new storm doors on and did an exceptional job. Jim and his crew go out of their way to make you satisfied. They take great pride in their work and do an excellent cleanup job. I highly recommend Jim. He works on customers homes as if they were his home. The quality of work is exceptional. You will be satisfied and happy using Lockhart Construction."
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.
