"They did an excellent job. They were expensive, but you get what you pay for. The building inspector of the city said this was the best built garage he had ever inspected. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely hire them again."

"Sampson and his team were excellent from the very beginning of the remodel to the finished product! The quote they gave us was much lower than all the other contractors in the area. They worked hard to fit in with my schedule and always put us first. If you're looking for the highest quality craftsmanship and amazing workers at a great price it's a no brainier use Margelin Builders"

"Great! He responded to my call quickly and came when he said he would. The pocket door repair was tricky because a piece of the door trim had to be removed. It works now and he did an excellent job of getting the trim off and on without damaging the drywall and paint. The drywall repair took several visits but, once again, he came when promised and completed the repair in a timely manner."

"A Hail storm hit our home in April. R& M was in the neighborhood. They came to my door and asked if everything was okay?
I heard the hail hitting but I was not sure if there was anything wrong. They asked me if it was okay if they could look to be sure everything was okay before they left? I said okay and I sure am glad they did. My skylight was busted and water had been leaking in my bathroom. They put a tarp over my skylight so no further damage would be done. They gave me their business card and told me if I would like them to they would meet with the adjuster to point out the damage. I was so grateful that I had them to help me since my husband was out of town.
They met with the adjuster and handled everything for me.
They replaced my roof and gutters and cleaned up the mess.
I was well pleased with the 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.
