"Hardworking, excellent craftsmanship. I had a lot of water damage around my house. Most I knew about, some I didnâ t. They took pictures, gave me daily updates. They offered suggestions & my preferences before proceeding. They replaced a small deck off my back door adding more stairs ( shallower steps) for ease of going up and down being sensitive to my needs. Added a prettier design. This was just one of many repairs. My house feels stronger, safer, warmer and ready to meet the winter weather. I could go on but feel you get that I highly recommend summerlin ext solutions."

"Gerry and his crew built us a screened in covered porch/deck. It was a great choice. The crew worked hard and and finished the work in a couple of weeks. The deck is a huge improvement over what we had before, and exactly what we were looking for. The construction is solid and well built. Working with Gerry is easy, and very straightforward, I absolutely recommend DDK!"

"Calico painting recently painted the interior and exterior of our home, and from start to finish I honestly canâ t imagine a better experience. Luis and his team were incredibly professional and communicative - always showing up on schedule, giving accurate time estimates of how long projects would take, responding promptly when we called or texted, and letting us know if there were changes or questions came up. Their work was meticulous, beautiful, and efficient. When unexpected water damage wreaked havoc partway through the project, they jumped right in on the repairs to help keep things on schedule. Throughout our fairly extensive renovation we often commented that Luis was the best person we worked with because he was SO reliable, a great communicator, and his teamâ s work was always high quality. They did beautiful plaster repair, wood staining, cabinets, interior paint, exterior paint, and even some woodworking for us. Luis also helped us troubleshoot issues with other subcontractors on our project. We loved working with Calico Painting, will absolutely be calling Luis for more projects in the future and have already recommended him to friends."

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.
