"My garage door broke on a holiday- they called me that day and were out the next morning- earlier than they initially stated. Frank was very polite and professional and fixed the door quickly. He made sure the door was in working order before he left. I even recommeneded him and Town and Country to a friend whose garage door spring broke- again, he did an excellent job. I would highly recommend this company to everyone!! Judy of Clinton Township"

"Dover Door was awesome to work with, we had remodeled a house and needed garage doors. From the time we called Dover Door, I was impressed with the level of service they offered! Zack was outstanding, very professional and timely, he even had to come to our house several times because my wife couldn't pick out the color she wanted for the garage doors. The installation team rocked the install, showed up on the day and time they promised and did a great job installing the doors. I would highly recommend Dover Doors! Chuck and Zack are awesome to work with!"

"My garage door developed a bended top due to which it would not close. Mammoth Door came in and the repair guy was honest to let me know that garage door repair was an option instead of getting a new door and spending $2500. He did a great job and charged me pretty reasonable. I 100% recommend this company. I will call them again whenever i decide to install new garage doors."

"These guys were the best. Highly recommend if you have any issues with your door."
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.
