"Excellent service and work provided by Value Garage Door Service from start to finish. Jesse was very friendly, easy to work with, and very competent in his work. With the old garage door opener; I could hear the garage door open and close in the adjacent room to the garage. With the new garage door opener, I can honestly say that I cannot hear the garage door open and close anymore. I will recommend Value Garage Door Service to my friends.

"Elad showed up on time, knew exactly what was wrong, and fixed my garage door faster than I could complain about it. Zero hassle, zero upsell—just solid, competent work. Portland Locksmith and Garage Doors is one of the rare companies that does exactly what they promise and doesn’t treat you like an idiot for needing help. My garage door works perfectly now, and I’m honestly amazed at how easy the whole thing was. Highly recommended."

"Garage door maintenance. Highly recommend this company. Service rep (Brad) was friendly and helpful. Work was done quickly and very much to my satisfaction. I had forgotten to ask for a sticker with their info to put on my wall next to the operator I called office, Brad called and offered to return next day to drop off sticker/business card - service above and beyond - they could have just mailed. Would hire this company again (and intend to do so)."

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.
