"They did it in about 15 minutes. They really knew their stuff. They also cleaned the garage door rails. The rails are nice and quiet now. The other companies would have charged extra for that. Also their price was way lower than their competitors. Thank God, I found them."

"My garage door was damaged when the vehicle inside rolled backwards and off its tracks, bent the entire door and the garage could no longer be closed properly, this was a friday night. I came to angi since I heard good things and looked for a pro to fix my door. i took a chance by sending requests for work on a weekend. I was stunned when the first company within hours was prolift. I called them and in speaking to aaron, he made me feel calm and assured me he would take care of the door and no worries. He arrived at my home right as promised, he kept in touch through texts and surveyed the damage. He offered me several options to repair the door or replace it, I chose one and he went to work. He did a phenomenal job. The door was repaired as if nothing had happened, even better. He changed the seals on the bottom so nothing will get into this door. water, mice, leaves etc. Aaron was patient, professional, very respectful of my property. He LISTENED which is key to a customers issues."

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.
