"Yes he was proficient in his knowledge to install garage openers, I understand he had problems working in an older garage and its problems that he had with installing it. He was good at communicating with me when he was going to be late. However it took him 4 days to complete, leaving to get tools or supplies he needed and not working a whole day any one day. as he said himself he is slow but thorough. I appreciated him explaining to me the process it took and problems he was having installing it. After he was done he made sure I understood how to use the remotes."

"I didn't want to do the Rustoleum kit, after reading negative reviews. There are higher quality flooring materials available online, and so I used these to comare to MFC. MFC's quote came in at $400 more than if I did it myself. Obviously, my first project wouldn't turn out as well as theirs did. Every step was clearly explained, and performed on time (or delayed if necessary to do a better job). They even brought a trailer to store everything I had in my garage. A great group of guys with whom to work. Reasonable pricing, and great quality. I smile every time I open my garage 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.
