"The two men (Trent and Clay) who did the floor were extremely prompt, courteous and friendly. They went above and beyond to make it a painless experience (moving a refrigerator,etc). Our home is nearly 50 years old and we thought it would be impossible to improve that old garage but now we love our new garage floor. Thank you"

"I highly recommend Lee’s Doors! I needed to have the backup battery for my opener replaced. Almost immediately after I put in my inquiry with Angi, I received a call from Josh. He was courteous and professional and I was thrilled that he was able to work me into his schedule the very next day! He arrived on time replaced the battery and inspected my door. He spotted a few problems and clearly explained my options. He did not try to sell me expensive equipment or services that I didn’t need. He even volunteered to change the burned out light bulbs in garage ceiling and my garage opener. I’ve been in this house for three years with only two dim lights in my garage and now it is fully lighted! ☺️🤣 Thanks Josh! He even took the initiative to screw in the wall console that wasn’t secured by the previous owner. He honored his very reasonable agreed upon labor rate and didn’t charge me for this extra work. also reasonable rate for his labor. I highly recommend his company."
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.
