"I hired Kelli and Steve to do 2 12ft x 12ft doors in my new 38 x 50 shop that I built and asked them to install a Jack Shaft opener that I had purchased the year before for my existing shop that is attached to my house. I hired Kelli and Steve because they had done many doors for my dad in Colorado. Not only did Steve and Kelli drive all the way to Cheyenne, WY where I live, but they arrived at 10:00 am installed 2 garage door installs with tracks, trim seals, and 2 heavy duty commercial openers, and a jack shaft install on my 3rd door that I already had. They where 100% done and back on the road by 6:00 pm. This was impressive and the doors could not have turned out any better. They walked me through them and explained maintenance and gave me all the info on the doors that I might need. They where very helpful, very professional and i will always recommend them to anyone who asks me about garage doors. This was the best experience i have ever had. Thanks Steve and Kelli"

"Our garage had no power, and the quick release as hung up and wouldn t release. We hired a locksmith to open the quick release, he couldn t get it to work then he locked it back up again, and said he would charge an extra fee to come back and open it after we already paid a fee. We needed to get someone else to help. I requested a garage door repair crew from Home Advisor. They were fast to call and arrive to the house. The guys thought outside of the box to do everything they could to get the garage door to open especially since we didn t have any internal access to the controls. They worked hard to get the door open, put in a new quick release lock and fixed the quick release to work if we lose power to that garage again. Thanks so much for your help!!"

"Smart Garage Door Service was professional, friendly, prompt, and completed our job without any issue! We recently bought a new house and knew the motor needed to be replaced in the garage. When they came out (next day) to install the motor, David pointed out issues with the existing door. It ended up that it was more cost effective to get an entire new door instead of fixing the pieces individually. David and his team were able to pick-up, deliver, install, and remove all trash/old door within 3 hours. SO IMPRESSED! We will definitely be recommending/using them again in the future!"

"Great service and quality of work. Would recommend to anyone looking for fast garage door repair!"
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.
