Customers say: Quick response
"Matt was very easy to work with. He had responded right away when I was vetting companies to come out and help me with a driveway/pad/garage build. Other companies pressured me into a higher quote. Matt took the time to help me through the process to come up with a plan that would fit my needs and budget now, and plans for further in the future. He was knowledgeable and always available to answer any of my questions or concerns. I 100% recommend Big Red Exteriors."

"This is the second time I've used Granite Garage Floors and could not be more thrilled with the results. The owner is friendly, well-informed and will answer all your questions. David and his crew are exceedingly professional, efficient, and always punctual. It just takes about a day and a half-less actually and of course there is the added lifetime guarantee. He also did my wooden stairs from the garage to house, so it looks great and has immediately added value to my home. You will love it!"

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.
