"I couldn't be happier with the service and product. Steve gave me a quote for the entire job the day after first calling him, and his crew came out two weeks later to start the work. They were right on time, made quick work of the garage, from grinding and shot blasting to the first layer of epoxy and color chips. The final product is stunning, and my only regret is not doing it sooner."

"John and his helper were efficient, professional, and prompt. The issue was quickly assess, and the job to replace/install external faucets were completed in about 12 minutes. John explained the cautions about the new rubber turning wheel and rust proof devices, to include winter draining procedures. The price to do the work was fair. I am pleased."

"When I ran out of room in my garage, I decided to build a shed. I had priced several different models at local building supply stores. I could not decide on a kit to be built by me or the store. I also wasn't thrilled with the quality of them either. One night, I started searching on the internet and found a local contractor through Service Master. When I first met Hank Schilling of Schilling Contracting, I was impressed with his professionalism. Once I decided to have him build my shed, I was impressed with his craftsmanship. I not only have a quality product, but a larger shed than what I planned with little cost difference than the kits. I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in any building addition."

"Prompt communication. Great understanding of a unique job and how to adapt expertise to complete it"
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.
