"Seth was responsive and on time. He fixed my front entry gate which included troubleshooting and replacing some parts. He had to trench a new line and did everything professionally and at a reasonable price. I now have a new garage and gate vendor which I need regularly across our real estate portfolio."

"Look no further. These guys did a truly beautiful job, with coats of polyaspartic on the floor of our huge garage, then we bought their suggested topcoat of polyurethane. The result is truly gorgeous. They were patient with us as we kept changing our mind on color but went with the suggested light grey with paint flakes and it looks truly beautiful. They were careful and cleaned up nicely too. Nice guys too."

"They submitted a bid quickly, came when they said they would, did a great job, and cleaned up afterward. I would recommend them to anyone. They installed a gate in my fence, painted the fence and sanded and painted my deck."

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.
