"We found DDR through a home and garden show. They were the first to respond to our inquiries about having a garage built. None of the other companies we spoke to responded in a timely manner. From beginning to end DDR was there to respond to any questions we had throughout the whole process. We needed a demolition of our old garage, new concrete pads, and the construction of our dream garage, a 726 sq foot, two car, and maker workspace. We were quoted a price and negotiated from there. Jesse the CAD designer had plans to us about a week later, we asked to have the garage rotated so the gable was facing front and they changed it no problem. After the initial wait to break ground of about a month and half things went very quickly. Chris our project manager contacted us at every phase and answered any questions we might have had each time. The old garage was down in a day and gone by the end of the week. The new foundation was poured that same week. The building material can the following week and we had framing and roof on by the end of the second week. Every aspect was solidly built. There was a bit of damage to our gutter where a truck delivering gravel had ripped a hole and DDR took responsibility for and repaired it. The third week was electrical and main door installation. We asked for windows in the door after the fact and they were added no problem. We did pay the door company an additional amount because it was not originally quoted in the price. They also worked with us to design a drain so that there would be no standing water in front of the garage which was a problem with our original one. We did pay a premium price for this garage, but we also received no worry premium service that was fast and professional. I highly recommend them for people ready to move on a project that they have been saving and planning to do. DDR offers 2-year labor warranty that includes the door. Various materials have other individual warranties as well. We are definitely going to use DDR again to design and build our craftsman style front porch in the future."

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.
