"Duane from GT Garage Doors surveyed my garage doors for repair. He quoted me the cost of repairs for my 3 garage doors and replaced all 3 doors and garage door openers. The time of the job completion was in one day while I was there and even was able to save me some money for parts that were not needed for replacement. He is very honest and excellent in the replacement. A must hire! I would hire him again on any future job. Thank you Duane!"

"1. Repaired and renovated, garage and 2nd story screen porch facades, including replacement of joists, plywood, and careful waterproofing/sealing of walls, windows and trims. 2. Built awning/roof above garage door to include copper roof detail. 3. Remodeled interior screen porch wall with wainscoting and baseboard to create a more custom look. Experience: Kevin and his team were proactive in determining root cause of repair and next steps. Kevin was also responsive through chat/ phone when I had questions. Crew were always on time and reliable. Albert, lead carpenter, was very skilled at ensuring structure/repairs were done properly."

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.
