"We had our garage door spring break on a Friday. American Home Shield couldn't get anyone to come out before the following week, so we inquired as to which Garage Door Companies would fix it as emergency, since my wife has medical conditions and needs to be able to travel. Of the two Garage Door Companies that are available 24 hours, A1 Garage Door Service LLC was the only one that could be there same evening. They got to our home to fix the broken spring so we could open the Garage around 8:00 pm."

"I have a 3.5 stall garage and and i had Garage Experts install the Epoxy Flooring. Before installing the Epoxy they went through all the procedures they do to apply the Epoxy Knowing the size of my garage i know it would take more time then a normal garage. Plus they epoxy my steps going up to the door Every one that saw said it look great. Garage Experts have a life time warranty, were all the other one's only have a 15 year warranty."

"Excellent service from start to finish! The technician arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issue with my garage door, and explained everything clearly before starting the repair. The work was completed efficiently, the price was fair, and the garage door now works perfectly. The technician was friendly, professional, and left the area clean when the job was finished. I highly recommend Home Service Garage Door Company to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality garage door service. I would definitely use them again."

"MeinenHomes has handled several small and large scale home projects for me over the past few years. Small or large - their work, service, communication, pricing and personalities have been excellent. It’s not easy to employ and retain top notch people in this business but Jim has managed to hire only the best. I have made several great friends as they transformed my condo into something special. Thanks Jim. Will be calling on your help again, no doubt. Lauren Sheriff"

Customers say: Quick response
"Ramon and crew did a phenomenal job. We had a couple of weather delays in getting started but once started the crew showed up early, worked late, and did an impeccable job. They had the entire 2 story house sprayed in 1 1/2 days and then spent the next week painstakingly painting all the trim (including taking down and painting downspouts and gutters) and doors. We will definitely reach out to Ramon and team for our next paint job."

"Nick did a great job. He painted ghe basement with a moisture barrier and epoxyed the basement floor. It turned out great. He’s very professional and I would definitely recommend him."
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.
