Garage and garage door services FAQs

To enclose your carport, you’ll need to budget for the site prep, slab installation (if you don’t already have one), cost of building exterior walls, which depends on the type of siding you choose, and cost of installing a garage door, which averages about $1,200. Don't forget to factor in the costs of adding windows and electrical work to make the space fully functional.

While adding a carport may not dramatically boost your home's resale value, it does enhance your property's appeal by providing functional shelter for vehicles. A well-built, high-quality carport improves curb appeal and can attract potential buyers. However, a poorly maintained carport might have the opposite effect, so proper upkeep is essential.

Yes, in most cases, you'll need a building permit to construct a carport. Permit costs can range from $60 to $800 or more, depending on your location. Regulations vary by state, county, and even neighborhood, so it's essential to check with your local municipality and homeowners' association (HOA) for specific requirements. Permits and HOA rules might regulate the size, style, and location of your new carport to maintain neighborhood standards. Always ensure you're compliant to avoid fines or having to alter your carport after it's built.
