"I highly recommend Farmhouse Garage doors. Our job consisted of installing a new garage door on the third stall of a three stall garage and installing a new garage door opener. The older garage door opener was moved to the new door and a newer one was installed in the main door. The estimate process was quick, a couple of adjustments were made with no issues, a few rusty, worn out parts were replaced in the main door from serviceable parts from the old third stall door. The price was very reasonable, the work was done quickly and efficiently, everything was smooth and done to our satisfaction. Again, I highly recommend this company."

"This company was amazing to work with from start to finish. I think it was Tyler that answered the phone and he was very friendly and polite and said he would try their best to get someone out here even though they were busy. They somehow got someone to come out here and my garage door was fixed within a couple of hours of talking with them! So grateful I called them first- I definitely recommend Mr. Spring to anyone needed help with their garage."

"John came out, provided a clear quote for a garage door opener, explained the pricing upfront, and got the job done. The work itself was great, but one small thing that stood out was John’s straightforward approach and he didn’t charge an extra fee just to come out and provide a quote, which is something I’ve experienced with other companies. Honest professional, and hassle free service. Highly recommended."

"Over the past 20 plus years, my garage door has had to be serviced a few times and I will always use this company. They're the best. Like all good service, it's not necessarily the least expensive but it's great! They're very nice people."
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.
