"Steve with overhead door called me 10 minutes after I signed up. The next day he came to my house to try and get my car out of the garage as my garage door was damaged by Hurricane Ida. He was so professional and succeeded in doing temporary repairs to the door, but the best is that I was able to get my car out, so now I have wheels. I recommend him to a friend whose door was damaged in the storm. Steve is very conscientious and professional. I’m so glad he called me first. Because I really trust him and I’m looking forward to working with him when he comes to install my new door."

"Had backed into my garage door, making a dent in couple of panels. Others thought they were made of wood and not repairable. Kevin identified the panels as sheet metal and was able to bend in the part of the water mark that was binding, straightened out the track, and got the door back to working condition, and then did a tune up as well. I was impressed."

"My Service Tech was on time and very professional. He submitted a quote and for the repair I needed was the best price. An earlier company quoted that the job required 2.5 hours and Precision quoted 30 minutes and could do the job right now. Other company couldnâ t schedule until a later date. I accepted the quote from Precision and the work was done to my satisfaction. When I need any garage work in the future Precision is my go to company."

"This was one of my best experiences with a contractor. When the job started, they showed up on time, every day until the job was done. The quality of the tile work was exceptional. They took care to protect the floor from the door to the bathroom everyday and cleaned up after themselves every evening. The owner came over a couple of time to check on progress. There was one extra for reframing some of the wall studs that had termite damage and this was taken care of with a written quote. I'd definitely recommend this company."

Customers say: Quality work

"My husband and I are just thrilled with the finished garage/shop that Lamp built for us. We were not real sure about the design, but knew that my husband needed space to work and a place to park my car. Lamp designed and built a 3 vehicle garage with one section being a work shop for my husband. The entire staff from owner to the work crew were professional and courtesous."

FAQs for garage and garage door service projects in LaPlace, LA

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.
