"Ironclad/Tanner came out to replace the rubber weatherstripping around my garage door and perform some routine winter maintenance, including lubricating the springs. He was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was punctual, professional, courteous, and extremely respectful. What I appreciated most was that he took the time to explain things to me and educate me about my garage door and its maintenance. It’s refreshing to receive such excellent customer service! I will definitely be using this company again in the future. In fact, when the time comes to replace my garage door, I already know who I’ll be calling. Thank you, Tanner, for a wonderful experience and a job well done!"

"Was contacted within an hour of posting my request on Home Advisor. Ron from AIS was at my house early the next morning to diagnose then replaced our entire garage door opener unit. Then he programmed the code in all three of our vehicles. He did not charge extra for doing the work on a Sunday morning and the price we paid was very very reasonable. We definitely recommend AIS!"

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.
