"I requested next-day service for garage door repair. Ryan showed up on-time, completed the job is less than hour, gave us some maintenance tips to keep the door operating, and was very pleasant to work with. I will use Delmarvalous again if needed."

"Project: Convert two adjoining bedrooms into a master bedroom with a huge walk-in closet. Original office used for the walk-in and new larger hall closet with 48" doors. French doors added to the new office space. Joe Graham was absolutely FANTASTIC ! He was very easy to work with, professional and very knowledgeable. His crews were fantastic as well, especially his lead worker, Nico, who is very detail oriented making sure everything was just right. They arrived in a timely manner and cleaned up each day. We couldn't be happier with the work Joe and his crew did. I would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects."

"Mike (Cambria Constuction) and his men did an overall outstanding job replacing our patio in a difficult location on our property. HIs price to do the jib was right too. The only thing I wish they had done differently was to make sure the concrete did not stain the bottoms of our trim and siding. It was taped and plastic sheeting was in place but did not stay due to not enough tape a on a windy day. We would DEFINITELY hire Cambria Construction Services again!"

"That was a project to convert a single car garage into a recreational room. I love my new room with a ping-pong table, new windows for a daylight in the day time and all ceiling lights when its dark. My new vinyl plank is warm even for bare feet. Thanks to mini split unit on the wall, the room can be heated in a winter or cooled in a summer. Some details of project were changed during the construction and I appreciate how flexible Brent was to adopt the changes and new elements to include into his work. He came up and told first when had met any obstacles and usually came up with suggestion how to avoid, build it differently or even to redo some steps when he thought it could be better for the result. Great job, Atlantic Construction."

"I worked with Elite Construction to transform my old garage into a one bedroom home, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! Every detail was handled meticulously, from the design phase to material selection, construction, and final delivery. The team's friendly communication and creative solutions that exceeded my expectations truly impressed me. Now, I proudly enjoy this space that has been transformed into a stunning living area. Thank you for this amazing transformation! Definitely Elite Construction I would love to work with 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.
