"I highly recommend Kris at Preferred Garage Doors! My 30-year old garage door was breaking, and I needed it repaired or replaced. I really appreciated how Kris told me about both options, and helped guide my decision. I had matching single garage doors, so I was worried that the new one wouldn't match (since the company was no longer in business.) Kris adapted the top panels so they match perfectly. Kris worked quickly and efficiently. He cleaned up before he left. I really appreciate his professionalism."

"I had another company come out who told me I needed an entire new garage door and new springs for a total cost of $1300. When I called Pacific Garage & Doors and spoke to Liz, she gave me some very simple suggestions on what the problem might be. I followed what she said and was able to fix the problem myself. I appreciate this company's helpfulness and honesty and they will be the ones I call when I do actually need some work done on my garage door."

"Ben was excellent. We hired Noel to replace our garages springs. He arrived exactly on time and called 30 minutes out to let me know he would. He had everything he needed and got the job done very quickly. He also cleaned up and did an inspection of all the other garage door parts before leaving. I couldn’t be happier with the work."

"My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Alex, who installed and fully replaced our garage door, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Alex was incredibly professional, kind, and transparent. He took the time to review our project promptly and gave us a clear understanding of the process. The best part was that he was able to complete the full installation in just one week, while other places like Home Depot and Lowe’s told us it would take 6-8 weeks. His quote was also very competitive, and we felt confident in the work being done. The quality of service and attention to detail was excellent. We highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for garage door services. We couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience!"

"Very happy about replacing my ancient garage door opener with the latest and newest. Technician showed up shortly after courtesy call and was very informative. Explained California's law regarding battery back ups, the importance of having one, and all the cool feature my new motor offers. Very happy with quality of service and products."
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.
