"My garage door was opening back up after I tried closing it, screws were popping off the door. Before contacting Agni?s list, and finding Orbit Garage Door, I had contacted another company to come repair our garage door. This other company told me I needed a whole new Garage door and system because our current garage door and system is out of date I it was going to cost me $1,700. Going through Angi?s list and finding Orbit, Orbit went above and beyond expectations. Not only did they fix my door but because they told me my current door is fine and just needs to be tuned up Orbit Garage Door just saved me from spending $1,700 on a door that I didn?t need. I highly recommend them!"

"Bennett Epoxy Floors did a phenomenal job on our garage floor. Now that it is done, I wished I hadn't waited and thought about it for so long. Highly recommend Mike and his crew, they all helped with our questions and even returned to put a heavy cabinet back in place in the garage. Paul and Kathy"

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.
