"Called Sam at 7:20 AM after garage door spring cracked and door wouldn't open. He was out by 9:30 and replaced the spring. How's that for service? Would definitely recommend Sam and First American Garage doors."

"Last year we replaced our hundred year old garage. We live in an historical district. So there were a number of requirements beyond normal. Garage For You told us when each phase of the process would be done and they stuck to the schedule. There were a few unique features that they were able to accommodate. I had saved and refurbished five original windows from the old garage. And I also duplicated the original trim. They incorporated both of these items into the design for the new garage and installed them. We had another company apply a stucco finish to the garage. Garage For You workers prepared the walls as the stucco company requested. The stucco company said that the preparation was excellent. The electrical and final inspections were flawless. We are very pleased with the quality of the work, the flexibility of the design process and the overall responsiveness and availability of the workers and office staff. We Highly recommend Garage For You."

"Tate was reasonably priced when comparing quotes from different contractors. He had to replace the springs on my garage door. He was very efficient and got my garage door back working. He checked over my garage door and let me know of potential things to watch out for since the previous owner had slightly dinged the garage door with their vehicle. I like recommending small businesses who do good work and Tates Garage Doors fits that bill."

"My garage door was falling and off track. I called them and they were here in the next 2 hour. I was thinking I need a new door and it’s not the time for it, my budget is tight. Ram came and he diagnosed the issue in the first 10minutes. He gave me a price and I was surprised and happy at the same time. It took him about 45 minutes and he was done and my garage door is perfectly working now. I am really happy with the results and will for sure call again for garage door issues or replacement in future."

"It's rare when you get a provider that checks all the boxes. Diana was extremely responsive. She calls/texts/emails you back quickly with thorough responses to your questions. The crew, Frank and Shorts came out on time and did a great job. They were professional and personable. When I made a mistake on choosing the color for the garage floor apron they came out at no extra fee and prepped/applied the new tint. They did this even though Diana suggested the correct color in the first place. Oh, and the price was very competitive. All and all I would strongly recommend them!"

"Did a very thorough inspection. Saw everything I saw that needed to be addressed and things I didn't see. Even noticed the torn seal on the refrigerator door, which I missed."
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.
