"Weaver Door company did an excellent job of installing our new garage door. We are so pleased with their work. The garage door operates very smoothly and efficiently. It keeps a lot of the cold air out of our garage during the cold winter months. I recommend them highly. Review by: Betty W. in Reading, PA"

"In the last 15 years at this location I have had garage door maintenance 3 times and I have found Monerey Shop to be the best and most reasonable. I called and they came first thing next morning. Problem was a broken gear in my double overhead garage door. They resolved that and I had them replace my outside remote control which required programming. They suggested they should check all the handsfree controls in all of my cars and did so and suggested future things I should look for in maintaining my 15 year old doors. I had them out a few years ago to replace a broken spring where the good service was the same. They work on a service fee plus hourly rate plus parts. They watch the clock to be sure to complete in the least amount of time their parts are reasonable (no large markup) and I have found them to be inexpensive when compared to other local companies. I will have them back for any additional maintenance I may need."

"Melvin and his crew installed a new front door for me. They were efficient, thorough, and professional. They encountered some issues with the materials that were completely outside of their control, yet they found a way to overcome the challenges and the installation came out perfectly. We were extremely impressed with everything about them. We plan to use them for our next project coming up in the spring. Highly recommend!"

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.
