"Isaiah came out in the late afternoon and was able to fish a wire out and open the doors. He reprogrammed the remotes, checked everything out, and told us how to avoid that particular problem in the future. I am so glad to have discovered this company on Angi and heartily recommend Garage Door Doctor to all those who have garage door problems."

"I purchased a garage door opener from a store and they installed it. They responded quicky and installed even quicker. The price of the installation was less than the price the store quoted I was very satisfied."

"After quickly scheduling an appointment, he technician, Tommy, arrived spot on time the next day, assessed the required repairs, provided and honest and very fair estimate, began working immediately, and completely repaired my garage door both diligently and professionally. I felt Tommy went over and above to ensure all adjustments of the door were correct and now my garage door functions better and quieter than it ever has in the past 18 years. I would not hesitate to call on ProLift or recommend this franchise of the company to anyone."

"Chris called me immediately after listing my project! My garage door had been hit and I had no way of closing it. Chris went out of his way to insure that at a minimum that my door would be closed. He didn't have any openings that day but found a way to send two techs my way that same day to secure my garage. The very next day Chris sent Jerrod and Dylan with the replacement panel to repair my garage door! Jerrod and Dylan were extremely helpful and professional! The panel was replaced in a little over a hour and works perfectly. Would 100% recommend Access Garage Doors to anyone looking for any type of work on their garage system!"

"Gabriel diagnosed my problem and gave me a quote immediately. He had to leave and get the parts but returned about an hour later. The total time for the install was about an hour also. Gabriel was cordial, informative and a pro at what he did. I would highly recommend Gabriel for your garage and garage door needs!"
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.
