"Today (3/15/22), I was fortunate to meet a young man on behalf of Percisision Garage Door of Albuquerque. Gary Lang is the technician I am talking about. He is professional, listened to my issues, and went above and beyond to help me. Gary is a bright light that customer service does still exist. Precision Garage Door of Albuquerque is very lucky to have Gary on their team. I would definitely recommend Gary Lang to my family and friends."

"I had a large crack in my garage floor and peeling tile a previous owner had installed many years ago. They came in and ground the floor down, patched the cracks, and did a beautiful job on the floor. The crew was very professional and friendly. The answered all my questions and cleaned up each day. Very positive experience and I love the epoxy finish!"

"We hired Do-Moore Home Improvements for a bathroom remodel (x2) and were immediately impressed by their work ethic, craftmanship, and reasonable price quotes. We received several estimates for the job and Do-Moore stood out the most. We were so pleased with their outstanding quality of work and professional style that we hired them for many more jobs on the project, to include dry wall, mud texture, interior painting, wood vinyl flooring throughout, kitchen tile backsplash, and trims throughout (baseboards, door casings, and ceiling crowns). They are dedicated to ensure timely work completion, and always left a neat and tidy work space. They are true artists and it is evident that they take pride in their work. We highly recommend this experienced team of entrepreneurs."

"They did an amazing job! Fernando and Javier went above and beyond my expectations. They caulk/sealed all the cracks on the exterior of the house and under the trim. Fernando kept the property clean. He covered/protected all the windows, doors and grounds. There was no paint spots or spilled paint anywhere on the grounds. I had them paint my house trim and garage door a different color from the stucco. He did such a professional job, the house looks brand new! If I every need more work done I would hire them again. I highly recommend them! Bob"

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.
