"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."

"Doraz Contracting did an A+ job with the repair of my garage door system. He came to the house and reviewed the garage door system and determined that it could be repaired and did not need to be replaced. He was detailed in the job analysis and responded well to my questions. The bid was very reasonable. In a few days he came back and in a couple of hours, installed a new overhead motor and made some adjustments to the door itself. I now have a motion activated light in the garage and he provided two remotes."

"Things started well right from the start. An email was sent to me which provided me with a photo of the salesperson who would be coming so that I would be sure I was dealing with the right people. The price on the garage door was higher than that provided by other vendors but the quality of the door was higher and the job was going to entail replacing all of the hardware that had been in place. It made sense since some of the hardware was in-place since 1979 and it was time to go. None of the other vendors were going to do this.
The gutters were installed by a different team - and on a different date - from the garage door team. Both of them were polite, efficient and prompt.
The only thing I would have wished is that I would have been able to make one call and be able to get information on both projects. The way DiGiorgi is structured, each area is separate and you need to call each area individually.

"Prompt, courteous, excellent work and fairly priced. Nixon installed an interior barn door that needed to be modified. Excellent quality work and fair pricing. I will use Nixon again and also recommend him to my sister and mother."
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.
