"The work of Ocean Coast Garage Doors was top notch. Not only were they willing to schedule a time to accommodate our schedule on a weekend, but they finished the project quickly and were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Feel so lucky that we found Ocean Coast Garage Doors - they really helped us when we were having serious problems with our garage door opener. They also showed us how to maintain the doors to prevent further problems. The new garage door opener is quiet and works well with my vehicle. Highly recommend!"

"Look no further, this is the company to hire for your garage door problems. Extremely professional, knowledge, and prompt. I was contacted and scheduled service immediately. Jeff is awesome. He took a look at my old door that we haven't used in years and said, "I can fix it" I thought for sure I needed a new motor. Prices were fair and no up-selling pressure. I was impressed with the fabulous job he did . Garage door problem? Call Portal Select."

"I would highly recommend MR Garage Door! They contacted me right after I submitted the job & gave me a quote without trying to upsell. I was able to get them out when I wanted to have the garage springs repair done. They did a free tune up & realignment of my garage door. They explained to me some upgrades that we could do to the operation of our garage door, but there was no pressure. I was very happy with the workmanship & customer service of MR Garage Doors!"

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.
