"They did an excellent job. They were expensive, but you get what you pay for. The building inspector of the city said this was the best built garage he had ever inspected. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely hire them again."

"Waiting for more money in our budget to undertake this project. For now using handle on garage door to open our garage. Technician provided the expertise to advise on repair or replace the door opener. We did order the replacement parts to do the repair, and will call this company to do the repair when we have extra money in the budget!"

"Small project. Arrived on-time, professional, did nice job explaining what could possibly be causing problem of garage door closing unevenly (not level). Was able to provide quote for completing work at time of visit, less than 1 hour work and closing of garage door much improved after work (closes smoothly, quietly and level). Would highly recommend for garage door repairs."

"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."

"Bob was super responsive in meeting with us and helping design the garage. They will make custom garages. We wanted a room built into our garage to shelter some feral cats we take care of, and they were willing to do that. They also installed a cat door that we purchased. They build good garages. Our old garage was falling apart, as are many others in the neighborhood. We wanted a garage that would last. All of the crew were highly-skilled and tremendously courteous. The quality of work at every stage was excellent: preparation of site, concrete pour, framing, roof, finishing/gutters. They took extra care to do things right. The job did take longer than expected. Part of that was due to issues with the site (excessive mud under the old garage that had to dry out and additional site preparation) but it seems the COVID pandemic generated a lot of home projects - we were in a work queue. Demolition started mid-September and garage was completed early January. (Our furnace guy had a similar situation with a different garage builder, so it wasn't just this company. We learned to be Zen about the timeline - it was less stressful that way.) In the end, we have a beautiful garage that should last for years. Very pleased."

"Frank did a phenomenal job replacing our 3 garage doors and 3 openers. The installation was professional, clean, and thorough—no corners cut. Everything works perfectly and looks great. The price was very fair too. Highly recommend Frank for any garage door project!"

"They did a fabulous job on a quartz garage floor. They didn't dig it up complete. They did patch, and sealed, and put this stuff on. They are great. I would definitely recommend them.
They gave us a number of choices for a finish for colors. For us they also had, instead of a solid color, they were able to put flecks of darker brownish black in it. It held up really well, and it looks so nice. It has held up very well, and its easy to clean. It transformed a really terrible looking floor into something we are really proud of. I think they definitely met our expectations. And all the categories I would give him the top rating. They were by far the best price too, because I got quote that were double."

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.
