"I kinda love Garage Door Corporation. Twice, they have saved me several hundreds of dollars. Several years ago, they installed a tortion spring system in my home garage for a price that beat out other quotes (and they did a very nice job), and then today, they were able to fix a garage door opener at was probably from the 1970s for a garage I rent out, when I thought I was going to have to replace it. Rudy the technician was nice, polite and did a fine job."

"Working with 911 went very much as previous reviewers described. Roy is the chief point person, and he comes out for the initial inspection. He set up an appointment for mere days after I called him.
The work involved removing damaged flooring and wall portions, and ensuring no water remains by drying with fans and whatever else is needed. Then the flooring is replaced and the walls (and trim) repaired and repainted to their original look. Roy and a partner did some of the work, while other work -- the flooring in particular -- was subcontracted.
We even made the work a little trickier by trying to preserve some of the flooring, as only about one-third of the room's flooring was damaged. That meant the new flooring had to match the original. As our flooring was installed only two years earlier, we felt there was a good chance the same flooring (from Home Depot) could be found. There was some delay in completing the work as Roy and co. sought the same flooring. But they did indeed find it.
Then the work was done in, I believe, four or five outings to our home. A few times we even gave the workers our garage code so they could come at their convenience and do the work. As some wood and trim work was required, the workers used our garage or driveway for the measuring and cutting. Each day they cleaned up thoroughly.
The resulting flooring is not absolutely perfect only because at some borders with the original flooring there is the slightest wilting. That was our risk for not replacing the whole floor. But this is more of a recreation room for us, so it's not a big deal at all.
The wall repair, meanwhile, was remarkable. You'd never know anything ever happened. They easily found matching paint, not even needing to use the leftover paint we had stored in the garage. Since only the bottom portion of some of the walls was damaged, I feared noticing a difference between original and new wall, but I can't tell at all. The new trim blends seamlessly with the original. I'm stunned every time I look at it.
So it took a couple of weeks, but we got our room back the way it was. What I really liked about 911 is no matter what is damaged, they figure out how to fix it -- flooring, drywall, a piece of stud, trim -- whatever it is, they'll find a way to make it look like before. And with the new flooring, mold-resistant base layers are installed. Roy and co. are very conscientious about their work and the long-term effects. All in all, you can show them the problem, whatever it is, say please fix it, and they simply do.

"Last year we replaced our hundred year old garage. We live in an historical district. So there were a number of requirements beyond normal. Garage For You told us when each phase of the process would be done and they stuck to the schedule. There were a few unique features that they were able to accommodate. I had saved and refurbished five original windows from the old garage. And I also duplicated the original trim. They incorporated both of these items into the design for the new garage and installed them. We had another company apply a stucco finish to the garage. Garage For You workers prepared the walls as the stucco company requested. The stucco company said that the preparation was excellent. The electrical and final inspections were flawless. We are very pleased with the quality of the work, the flexibility of the design process and the overall responsiveness and availability of the workers and office staff. We Highly recommend Garage For You."

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.
