"Had my garage break over the weekend while my husband was out of town. I called on a Saturday night and they answered! They arranged to have someone out on Monday. I was able to open my door by hand in between those days. I didn't even have to worry my husband about it! Isaac came out and fixed it quickly. Then he explained all that he did. I later got an email that detailed everything with pictures. I also go a discount for being a customer already. We will definitely be continuing business with One Clear Choice!"

"We had a great experience with Speck Garage Doors. Tyler is clearly an honest, high character guy. He was very helpful and personable throughout the process. He thoroughly explained the different options and prices. He had very reasonable pricing and did high quality work. We ended up deciding to install a new insulated door and it looks great and runs smooth! We can already tell the insulated door is helping the energy efficiency of the garage and house too. Overall our experience with Speck Garage Doors was seamless and we give Tyler our highest recommendation for all of your garage door needs."

"Our garage had no power, and the quick release as hung up and wouldn t release. We hired a locksmith to open the quick release, he couldn t get it to work then he locked it back up again, and said he would charge an extra fee to come back and open it after we already paid a fee. We needed to get someone else to help. I requested a garage door repair crew from Home Advisor. They were fast to call and arrive to the house. The guys thought outside of the box to do everything they could to get the garage door to open especially since we didn t have any internal access to the controls. They worked hard to get the door open, put in a new quick release lock and fixed the quick release to work if we lose power to that garage again. Thanks so much for your help!!"

"The spring on our garage door broke this morning. I was at work, and my husband had to be at work at 2pm. our garage door wouldn’t shut. I called Primos at 10:02am, they squeezed us in, with a window of time between 11am and 1pm. I told them I needed them at the house as close to 11 as possible. I got a text at 10:40am saying Toby was on his way. Toby fixed the spring, and had the garage door back up and running by 11:20am. This is not the first time Primos has helped us in a time crunch. If you are looking for an honest, reliable company, look no further."

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.
