"Garage Doors Inc is the only garage door place in the Bay Area I’ll use. The service people were thorough, efficient, and so helpful! There’s not much worse than not having working garage doors. They’ll be my first call when I need garage or gate work done!"

"I received a text from home advisor to contact Mr Pulido. I did. He had me send pictures of garage door opener and door. He then called me back and walked me thru fixing it myself. Adjustment process took less than 5 minutes and my door was working fine afterwards. He said this would last about 6 months to a year before having to replace opener. I thought I was going to end up paying alot of money to get it fixed. I truly appreciate that he took the time to help me, his honesty and his integrity. I will definitely call him when it's time to replace the garage door opener. Thank you so much Mr. Pulido and God bless you!!"

"Aaron did an excellent job! They did a clear install with no modification to my existing garage door open.ing. I live in a windy area. Aaron Did a quality installation with a nice tight 360° seal around the door keeping wind and dirt out of my garage now. The site was Iall clean when they were done. I recommend them to anyone looking for a quality garage door installation."

"Professional response with high quality of workmanship on time and honest. The owner takes pride in his workmanship, even though itâ s just a garage door. Mostly a one time service. However, the owner wants to leave an impression that he has a customer for life."

"Everything from the estimate to the installation of the garage door went smoothly. Junior Cardona was the installation technician and the projected arrival time was set for between 8 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Junior arrived by 8:45 a.m., completed the removal of the old wooden door and installed the new track and metal door and was done in less than 5 hours doing the whole job by himself which was very impressive!"

I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor space."

"Elvis and his professional staff came to the property and gave their quote for the jobs that needed to be done. The quote was more than fair without any fudging involved-an honest wage for an honest days work. Elvis prepared a detailed estimate for what he was going to do and the materials needed to handle the job. There was no added % for the materials needed as some contractors tend to do. The job of building the garage including the demolition and dump hauls was completed in a respectable timely fashion and not only that but Elvis answered my calls immediately and answered any and all concerns with a professional attitude. He was respectable to me and my wife by addressing us by 'sir' and 'mam' but he did not have to do that. I trust Elvis and while we were away from our home he was more than welcome to come in to use the electrical plug ins or for any other needs he may have had. His work along with his employees is excellent and done with pride and craftsmanship. No short cuts and if it was not done to his or our liking he is the type of person who would start all over again if necessary. I would not hesitate to hire Elvis Mendez for contractor work of any kind and since I am a real estate agent locally I will recommend his services for clients that may be in need of upgrading/remodeling their homes prior to placing on the market. I would love very much for him to be hired to build a home as hi;s dedication and commitment to his client would be exemplary in my opinion. Thank you very much Elvis to you and your co-workers."
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.
