"Yes he was proficient in his knowledge to install garage openers, I understand he had problems working in an older garage and its problems that he had with installing it. He was good at communicating with me when he was going to be late. However it took him 4 days to complete, leaving to get tools or supplies he needed and not working a whole day any one day. as he said himself he is slow but thorough. I appreciated him explaining to me the process it took and problems he was having installing it. After he was done he made sure I understood how to use the remotes."

"It has been a pleasure having Ryan P. install my jack shaft garage door opener. He is very fast, professional, courteous, and fun to work with. He made sure everything is properly installed, went above and beyond in getting my garage to be in a perfect condition before leaving. The pricing is very fair too, unlike many out there that were trying to rip me off. Would definitely recommend working with Ryan P, simply the best. I had some issues however with scheduling my appointment but they offered 10% to make up for the confusions which is incredible to see these days. That is another plus."

"New walls were built using paneling that matched existing paneling. I had asked for a 3-foot-high box with removable or hinged lid to be built around the sump pump to keep the cat from playing with it; Jamie recommend a closet instead of a box, which was acceptable to me, and will prove to be a better choice when I have the sump pump discharge rerouted away from sanitary sewer.
Sump pump failed overnight during construction. I had not moved in yet, so I was glad that the workers altered me. With my authorization they had a new sump pump installed, removed the soaked carpet, and ran dehumidifiers to dry out the basement.
One door was installed opening opposite my request, but this was too minor a detail to ask for a correction.
New doors and trim were stained and varnished, and all messes were cleaned up completely. Very happy with the work. Solar tube (skylight) in bathroom is wonderful!"

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.
