"My garage door was uneven, and Alamo Garage Doors fixed it quickly. The technician tested the door several times to make sure it was safe. I felt confident after the service."

"Alex is a true craftsman He built a 300 foot 6 foot tall privacy fence for us. It has both a small and large gate. He also repaired our vinyl fence and tied it in with the new fence. Alex is kind, prompt, attentive, and competent. He has worked in construction most of his life. He communicated with us well. He also helped with some small additional projects at no cost. I recommend him without reservation. Steve, Hampstead, NC February 2022"

Customers say: Quality work
"These folks are awesome. Will not settle for less than perfection no matter what you say. All large jobs, and we have done many, have small hicups along the way. We had just about none on this job. We love the owners and the crew. Owners are not the type to dodge calls or wait on issues. Really, spoke with them all hours and days. NEVER more then a few moments for a return call or text. Now, they have built for us a beautiful addition and in this addition, one of the most awesome kitchens ever seen. Not exaggerating. Loved them so much we have hired them for other jobs, and our upcoming garage will be with them as well."

"Zech put up our backyard fence shortly after we bought our home. He is extremely professional, and did an amazing job on the fence and all the gates. He finished the job in only two days. We've had the fence up for several months now, already through one tropical storm and it hasn't budged! Would recommend to anyone!"

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.
