"My garage door was uneven, and Alamo Garage Doors fixed it quickly. The technician tested the door several times to make sure it was safe. I felt confident after the service."

"Weaver Door company did an excellent job of installing our new garage door. We are so pleased with their work. The garage door operates very smoothly and efficiently. It keeps a lot of the cold air out of our garage during the cold winter months. I recommend them highly. Review by: Betty W. in Reading, PA"

"Excellent service from the first time I called. Gentleman came out to provide estimate, very informative and professional. I compared their quote with two other companies, Baker was a better product at a comparable price. Installers showed up on time as scheduled, removed old door and installed new one in about half a day. We are very happy with the new door, it looks great, and more importantly, it is an insulated door that has made a significant difference in the garage temperature as well as the comfort of the two bedrooms above the garage. I definitely recommend Baker, and actually one or our neighbors has since used them after seeing our new door.

"Joe and his team were dependable, respectful and experienced. ALL-Phase did a basement room addition with soundproofing as well as electrical updating through out the house. They also installed an stovetop vent to the external of the house. This is one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had. I'd be sure to contact them again for future work."

"This is the third time I have used The Driveway Lady, aka, Jean. I found Jean on Angie's List and used her because her reviews were so great. I also checked her out on her website, [*** Link removed ***] It's a very comprehensive website with lots of information including a video of when The Driveway Lady was on NBC 10 News with Lori Delgado. My experience with The Driveway Lady has always been fantastic. She is very responsive and does a great job. My driveway is lined with pavers on both sides, and The Driveway Lady never gets any material on the pavers. My wife and I have always been happy with her workmanship and her price. You owe it to yourself to get a bid from The Driveway Lady."

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.
