"Tate was reasonably priced when comparing quotes from different contractors. He had to replace the springs on my garage door. He was very efficient and got my garage door back working. He checked over my garage door and let me know of potential things to watch out for since the previous owner had slightly dinged the garage door with their vehicle. I like recommending small businesses who do good work and Tates Garage Doors fits that bill."

"Our garage door spring broke at night when opening & the heavy door crashed closed. In the morning we chose "First American " company after a brief phone interview with Sam, who arrived later that morning when he said he would, from a considerable distance, and finished the work within an hour, installing two new springs & new rollers on our 8 year old two-car garage door ( steel, sectional). Competitive pricing and friendly, informative service, including inspecting the whole door system. Hire him!"

"This is the second time I have used the services of Garage Door Corporation and the second time I've been impressed. My 24 year old Lift Master garage door opener was malfunctioning so I called the company and Brad asked me a number of questions to determine whether the garage door opener could be fixed. As it turns out, electrical boards for the old opener were no longer available so he suggested a Lift Master replacement with wi-fi capability. I researched his recommendation and decided to schedule service which was completed only two days later. Brad and Rudy arrived on time and quickly replaced the opener and related components. They also programmed the built in Home Link garage door opener in my car and installed new garage door sensors. I can now also open and close my garage door using my smartphone from anywhere! I am very pleased with the service provided and would highly recommend Garage Door Corporation."

"Ezra responded to my home advisor post within the hour on a weekend evening. He was out the following Sunday morning and immediately assessed the problem with my garage door unit and made the required replacement and repair on the spot. His price was very fair and he walked me through setting up the phone app. I highly recommend him for your garage door needs, whether it be a repair, replacement, upgrade or installation of openers, door lift units, and/doors. I could not have been more pleased."

FAQs for garage and garage door service projects in Joliet, IL

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.
