"They did an excellent job. They were reasonable - meaning when i say it was more than I wanted to pay. Its just I didn't want to pay to get it done so any amount is more than i wanted to pay but yeah they were very reasonable. I didn't get prices from other people but I'm pretty sure the price that they gave me was less than what I'd get elsewhere but the work was excellent and got it done so fast."

"We couldn’t be happier with how our concrete turned out! We had a custom concrete patio and sidewalk installed in our backyard, along with a pathway in our front yard leading up to our front door, and everything turned out absolutely beautiful! The quality of work and attention to detail really show in the finished product. They took our vision and brought it to life, completely transforming our outdoor spaces. The entire project turned out even better than we imagined! We’re extremely pleased and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have concrete work done. We’ll absolutely be using them again for future projects! I think we might need a metal shop done next!"

"Great Job A++. I like the fact that there is no outside contractors. Jason did the walk through, the estimate and the work himself. Very personable and very Knowledgeable. He even finish earlier than what he told me. My Garage looks great!! CanâÂÂt beat the prices either. I got estimates from all over Houston and Jason fit my budget perfectly. I have more work I want done and I will defiantly be using Floor Prep again. Highly Recommend."

"This company is VERY professional and true to their word. They painted the whole interior of my house, applied texture and stained my decks. I would hire them to do any work they say they are capable of."
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.
