"Franklin Construction exceeded our expectations. Bobby Franklin started the journey with us by providing a detailed contract of all that would be done and at a very fair price and within a timeline that suited our needs. He kept us in the loop about what was going to happen next and when. If we ever had any questions he was only a phone call away. Everyone one of his people (carpenters, plumbers, electricians, finishers) were professional, efficient and courteous. We love our basement! It’s better than we thought it would be!"

"I had a great experience getting a two-car garage floor decoratively coated by Superior Sealing. I would definitely hire them again! Austin did a fantastic job understanding my vision and transforming it into reality… my 30-year old garage looks 1000% better. Austin’s thoroughness, timeliness and professionalism were some of the things that positively stuck out to me. Throughout the whole process I felt like I was dealing with a pro who knew what he was doing. The results- all from a VERY reasonable price- validated my decision to go with Superior Sealing. It was a good choice. One that I will definitely tell to family and friends. I look forward to showing off my new floor. Great job Superior Sealing- thx!!!"

"Very professional company. Anytime I had any questions they were answered very thoroughly and very clean work. Will for sure hire them again!"
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.
