"Danny did a fantastic job! He replaced our 37 year old and malfunctioning Stanley chain drive garage door openerâ s (3) with new belt drive LiftMaster openers. He also replaced all of the old plastic rollers with new nylon rollers with bearings. The result was three large heavy garage doors that were very noisy now operate smoothly and quietly. Because of the difference between the old chain drive and the new belt drive openerâ s size and shape there were some issues with fitting the new mechanism into the same space. Dannyâ s 19 years of experience, knowledge and the right equipment and tools allowed him to deal with a complex and difficult problem efficiently and quickly. He was timely, courteous and provided an excellent service at a fair price.we highly recommend Lake Washington Garage Door Service."

"Our garage door would not open and I was trying to lift it enough to be sure that the sensors weren't blocked when Ernest from Daniel's Doors saw me as he drove past. He stopped and came back to see if he could help. We were able to determine that a spring had broken. He came back later that afternoon with a crew member and installed temporary springs so I could use the garage. I asked him to send me a quote for replacing the door with one that had windows, since the garage had no wall windows and was very dark. The price was very fair and they were able to install the new door within a week. What a difference it makes, both inside and out! I'll always be grateful he happened to be in the neighborhood that day. And I know who I will always contact if I need a new garage door."

"Our garage door was not able to close without holding the button down. We hired them to come out and fix. One of the sensors had gone bad and they identified it right away. Did a great job and would go with them again"
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.
