"My garage door was uneven, and Alamo Garage Doors fixed it quickly. The technician tested the door several times to make sure it was safe. I felt confident after the service."

"I used Angi to find a company that would replace two 30 year old garage doors at my son’s house in West Boylston. I chose Triple A and an installer (Joey) because they were both very highly rated. After first talking with Joey on the phone and then meeting him at the installation site, it was obvious that I made the right choice. Joey “knew his stuff” and is very polite and a hard worker. No games, no hard selling. Prices were up front, accurate, and fair. The doors (custom color and one low clearance) with garage door openers had to be special ordered for delivery about a month later and were then installed a few days later at a date and time that Joey and I agreed on. On completion, Joey took all the old and useless doors, garage door openers, hardware, and packaging and left the garage clean for the cars to be immediately driven in. I have no hesitation in recommending this company or Joey for either installing or repairing garage doors"

"They were great. They kept us informed about the ordering and how long we would have to wait. Once the door arrived, we scheduled a day for Steve to come. He arrived on time and ready to work. The installation took just a few hours and turned out great. He made sure that our old remote still worked and he showed me how to open the garage door if the power goes off. He and Liz were just great and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a new garage door."

"Gary was great! They are prompt and courteous and have competitive prices and, Gary is extremely knowledgeable. Since our 120 year old garage had an unusual sized opening, we needed a specially sized door made so, it was important to work with someone who knew what they were doing (not all of the estimators we had out did) They also have a good warranty. I highly recommend them!"

"I had an epoxy floor done on my garage and basement floors. The epoxy finish looks great! This was a great alternative to removing the old tile floor and replacing with new. There was a significant savings in time and money. I'm very happy with the results. This a great option for a finished basement floor."

"Great service and very reasonable! I called AB Garage Door on a Tuesday morning, Alan got back to me a little over an hour later and was at my house approximately 15 minutes after that. Wow! They fixed my broken cable, replaced a roller, and lubricated the mechanisms. My garage door now works like new. Agree with comments about being careful about other companies using call centers, etc. I made that mistake in the past. Highly recommend Alan and his company!"

"I had an old external door that was broken. Bob replaced the door and did a great job around the broken concrete and dry wall. It was a small project but it went really well. I am happy with the new door."
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.
