"We received WONDERFUL service with Grand River. We called them about our broken garage door on Saturday, and by noon on Monday, we had a new door installed! Both the men who inspected the garage door and installed our new garage door were extremely friendly and professional. They seem like a wonderful family business, and we would absolutely recommend them!"

"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"

"One of our rental homes had a bad house fire. We had to gut it down to the studs, kept the exterior siding, but everything else had to be replaced, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, plus walls, floors, ceilings, bathroom and kitchen. The works. Tyler from SimpleFix ran the project with his crew, kept in great communication, and stayed on it until we were satisfied with the finished work. His estimate was accurate, and we have received rave reviews from tenants about how grateful the place looks since then. We've continued to use SimpleFix for many projects since then, and we keep coming back to because they communicate promptly and get the work done right. We highly recommend SimpleFix, and we often refer them to friends and family, too."

"I did not know there was still a company around like J.Thomas Construction in Grand Blanc. I was repairing a few steps on my deck when I ran into a little problem. I went to 3 lumber yards with the old wood to have them cut the 2 pieces that were needed for each step. 1 piece was not as wide as the other, but no one would rip to the size I had to have. So I called 1 of those companies that recommend trade people. I called 1 on thelist and was embarrassed to ask them if they did small jobs. I sent Jason, the owner, a picture of my job. I actually thought he was going to laugh at me and tell me he couldnâ t help me.. He told me he was finishing a job but would stop on his way home and take a look. The job he was finishing was many many thousands of dollars he told me when he got to my house and showed me the picture of the job and a few others his company had done. They were amazing!! I showed him my project of 3 little step pieces of wood. He went to his vehicle, got his saw walked around to the back of my condo and ripped the wood. It took him 5 minutes. Jason was friendly, smiling and very professional in manner and ability. I wonâ t tell you how much he asked for, for payment because it would cause a rush on his already full schedule. If you are looking for a new deck or a repair on your current deck, I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed. I promise you, I donâ t know Jason, never met him before 2;30pm today, but if I ever need deck work again, I will call him!!! David, Grand Blanc"

"Quick response and repair to garage door."
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.
