"Our garage door spring broke at night when opening & the heavy door crashed closed. In the morning we chose "First American " company after a brief phone interview with Sam, who arrived later that morning when he said he would, from a considerable distance, and finished the work within an hour, installing two new springs & new rollers on our 8 year old two-car garage door ( steel, sectional). Competitive pricing and friendly, informative service, including inspecting the whole door system. Hire him!"

"I found them on HomeAdvisor online. Have not much knowledge in garage doors but as soon as I received a call from E.K. Garage Door Repair it became simple. Ezra called me and asked what I needed? I told him and he was out right away within 24 hours. I m sure it would have been faster if I was able to be home. I asked him how much the price was over the phone. He gave me a ballpark answer which I was looking for. And to me it was on the low side of the price he gave me. No messing around no trying to add extra work or try to get me to upgrade. Did exactly what I wanted perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend E.K. Because when they came out, right to business in a professional manner. Now I have a garage door guy and I was very impressed with the customer service, work that was done and the price I paid. Thanks E.K. Job well done!"

"My garage door was falling and off track. I called them and they were here in the next 2 hour. I was thinking I need a new door and it’s not the time for it, my budget is tight. Ram came and he diagnosed the issue in the first 10minutes. He gave me a price and I was surprised and happy at the same time. It took him about 45 minutes and he was done and my garage door is perfectly working now. I am really happy with the results and will for sure call again for garage door issues or replacement in future."

"Mr. Cruz was very professional and did an excellent job. In fact, he got the garage door earlier than expected and installed it two days earlier than expected. Would definitely hire him again."

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.
