"Academy installed two new CHI garage doors and LiftMaster openers and hauled away the old doors. The work was performed precisely on schedule and did not interfere with our activities. The salesman was perfect and had previously serviced our old doors. We are thrilled with how quiet and smooth they run, how beautiful and well made they are, and that they blend harmoniously with the design of our house. The new openers have all the features we need. Don't tell Academy, but I was willing to pay more."

"This was a professional, he knew everything about garages and knew how to fix them. He fix mine in about 1 hours, it was a broken spring and something I would never do or recommend anyone do on their own. You have to have special tools and he did, you have to have experience and he had it. After he was done he advice me on how to take care of my garage, and recommended future projects (which I ask him for) on my garage. I recommend him totally and I believe in his work. He was the first one to contact me as soon as I requested quotes, and I am happy I got him to do the job."

"Excellent service from start to finish! The technician arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issue with my garage door, and explained everything clearly before starting the repair. The work was completed efficiently, the price was fair, and the garage door now works perfectly. The technician was friendly, professional, and left the area clean when the job was finished. I highly recommend Home Service Garage Door Company to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality garage door service. I would definitely use them again."
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.
