"Another excellent interaction with Champion. I purchased a deal for a garage door tune-up. The company promptly responded to my order and provided a range of times to conduct the service. The technician, Payton, arrived on time and was friendly, polite, and professional. He completed the job promptly and also made some basic maintenance type recommendations for minor things I could do to keep the door working properly. Will definitely hire again should the need arise."

"We were first referred to Darren and his crew at Twin City Handyman in October of 2014 when we were in need of having a new patio door installed.  TCH went and picked out the door, brought it to the house and installed it, saving us time and the headache of having to arrange it ourselves.  They did such a great job we immediately planned to have them install a whole new front door unit (jamb, side window, transit and all) once we got the unit ordered and delivered.  TCH ended up installing it on one of the coldest days that year. We were very pleased with their work and knew we had found our "go-to" handyman crew.
Our next project was the moving of several light fixture outlet boxes in our kitchen and once done, the repair of the ceiling that had a few small staines due to a soda explosion and minor bathtub overflow from upstairs.  Lester, the technician on duty for this and most of the other jobs, is an expert at, among other things, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the end result.  He repaired the area and then re-popcorn sprayed the entire area.  It looked brand new when he was done.
We were also in the middle of a kitchen remodel at the time and had ordered a new oven-microwave combo.  Because the size was different from our previous model, the cabinet had to be altered.  I was probably more worried about this than I was about any other project, due to the fact that the kitchen is the most often used and visible area in our home, however, once again, the crew at TCH outdid themselves.  The end result was that the cabinet looked great and any sign of alternation was almost microscopic.
As stated, TCH has been our go-to for all of our projects since we discovered them, including the installation of both garage doors on our house that needed to be replaced due to major rusting.   
For all the jobs listed above, we are estimating the total cost of the service part of our bill to be around $4,0000-$5,000. 
That said, we have been more than please with our relationship with Darren, Lester and the crew at TCH.  They are both professional and friendly.  Darren has always been quick to get back to us about any questions we have had, and when we had the problem with the doors that shifted, they were quick to follow up and correct the problem.
Without question, we would recommend Twin City Handyman to anyone who asked.

FAQs for garage and garage door service projects in Howard Lake, MN

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.
