"Joe from ProLift was wonderful. He was professional and very nice. He really put his heart into his work. I had bought 2 garage door openers from Home Depot. Joe came to install them. One of them worked well, the other unit was a bad unit. He did everything he could to get it to work. Even using his own wiring to troubleshoot. It was a bad unit. Joe offered to come back and reinstall another unit I bought. He truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend ProLift Garage Doors to anyone looking to install garage door openers. As a tip, just purchase the garage door openers from ProLift. Save yourself the headache with dealing with a possible bad unit."

"I am very pleased with the painting job completed by Mike. He is very professional. When I called he came out and gave me an estimate on the job. He followed that up with a written contract. Mike removed the shutters from my home and painted them. He also removed some warped wood around the windows, replaced and painted the wood. Mike also painted 3 outside doors. Mike kept in touch as to when he would arrive. He cleaned up when he was finished for the day. His philosophy is to do the job correctly the first time."

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.
