"Rafe Courville built a 22ftx24ft pavilion for us a few months ago. From the concrete floor to the 20ft tall pitched steel roof, it has been just what we wanted. The wooden post, beams, and railing are ideal for our needs. Very satisfied! He also built a 500ft wooden fence for us. We had him back recently to repair a hole in our main building's roof. Also very satisfied. Good price for the both. Rafe will be replacing all the cabinets in our kitchen in the near future."

"Hired to replace a sliding door with a french door. The funny thing is I had forgotten to tell the boss Domingo (not sure of spelling) that I really wanted the door to swing open on the opposite side than where the sliding door opened. He happened to order the door the way I wanted it anyway! They showed up before sun up to take another look and make sure they had everything set. Started to work at sun up and got door out no problem. They were careful not to step on my plants in front of the door way which I very much appreciated. Trust me this made it much harder to get the giant door in. Project turned into an ordeal for them because our house is raised and had settled so the door way wasn?t square. They did a lot of extra work that originally thought but didn?t complain. The guys on the job were very nice and respectful. When I didn?t want the trim they had they ran to town to get the one I wanted without a word. After all that the total came out the same as the estimate."

"The owner, Joe Almanza, arrived within a few hours of my plea for the repair of a garage door that would not shut. He was pleasant, thorough, quick, and effective. He assured me that my door needed only a servicing. He also advised keeping the current motor, which is elderly but apparently sturdily built. I am very grateful. Highest recommendation. I got Joe's name from a relative, who was pleased with Joe's handling of the repair of a commercial garage door."

He quickly diagnosed the issue with my garage door and had it working perfectly in no time. He explained everything clearly, gave me honest recommendations, and made sure the job was done right. The service was fast, the price was fair, and the quality was top-notch. I highly recommend this company, and if you get Nathan as your technician, you’re in great hands!"
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.
