"My garage door was stuck open and would not close. I called and the first thing the gentleman said we would try to fix this without a service call! How wonderful, a company that puts the customer first! He asked me the brand of the opener and suggested I hold down the button and not take my finger off. I said I needed to leave the house in a few minutes and wanted to make sure if something happened my car was not stuck inside the garage. He waited until I pulled the car out of the garage. The first idea did to work. He then suggested I check to see if anything was blocking the sensors. It was a windy day and some debris had blown in and coved a sensor. I swept it away and the door closed. When I need a garage door company for service, they are the one I will call."

"I was very impressed with the service I received from EDM Garage Doors. Eli arrived at my home at exactly the time we had scheduled. He was friendly and professional. Eli installed my new garage door opener. After the installation, Eli walked me through how use my garage door openers and explained the installation process. I would highly recommend this company and will be using them for my future garage door needs."

"Great work by North Shore Garage. Will is incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work with. He was priced very reasonably and helped remove my extremely heavy old broken door. I hired them after receiving several other quotes. Will had the winning personality and no-nonsense plan. I highly recommend North Shore Garage Doors."

"My garage door spring snapped and the door wouldn’t open. He came out the same day, replaced the spring, and had everything working again really fast. Super easy to deal with and the price was fair. Door works great now."

FAQs for garage and garage door service projects in Evanston, IL

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.
