"We came home the evening before the service was done, & couldn't get our garage door to open. We discovered that one of the torsion springs had snapped (it's 16 years old). I called the company at about 9:00 PM & left a message with their answering service. Someone from the company called back the next morning, & a technician was at our house by about 1:00 PM the next day. Thankfully we didn't have to work that day, as my husband's car was trapped in the garage; they may have been there even sooner if we had. My husband was home when the service was performed, & said the technician was very nice, & completed the job in about an hour.

"From start to finish, CastlePro Garage Doors was a wonderful company to work with for our new garage door install. We have a detached garage that is located behind our house in an alley. Since it is not a main focal point of the house, I underestimated how much a new garage door could brighten up our property. When the install was complete, I was amazed by how much curb appeal our new door added to our space. It looks like a completely different garage! Nick was very knowledgeable and explained the benefits and features of our chosen door in great detail, and he took his time to ensure that the work was done properly. He tested the door many times before leaving, and although we elected not to install an opener, he assured us he could come back at any time to put one in for us if we changed our minds. Overall, I would highly recommend CastlePro Garage Doors for all your garage door needs. They are professional, reliable, and willing to travel. Thanks for a job well done!"

"I contacted Resnick Garage Doors to troubleshoot and service my two garage doors. Adam and Jeff stopped by my house on-time and provided excellent service. They recommended that I replace my 30 year-old broken garage door with a new one, which I did. They were very professional and did a great job with the installation. I’m very pleased with their service!"

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.
