"An extraordinary experience working with Marcos Infantino, a garage door guru. Our garage door completely went kaput, with rollers falling off, bolts all over the floor, tracks bent, wood siding cracking up, and hinges beyond repair. The darn ugly thing wouldn't open even with the manual override. We couldn't go to work. I was sure I needed a new door. Of the six people I contacted, only Marcos called right back. I called highly-rated North Shore Garage Door at 7AM and the administrator said I'd hear back at 8AM. No call! Other recommended repairers were available in two or three weeks, the ones who returned my call. Well, Marcos asked many good questions and was over that afternoon for a free quote. At his truck I discussed the doors I found at all the DIY stores, and he showed me options that were immediately available. But when he checked out the door, he shared that he could fix it in 45 minutes at a quote way less than the guy we've used for years charged for a simple service call - I though our usual guy was too expensive and didn't call him in the first place. Good move! Marcos fixed the door in the time promised but shared that because the springs were over twenty years old, one snapped. He was so apologetic. Luckily, he had replacements in his truck, said it would take another 40 more minutes and said he would honor his original quote - that he'd perform the extra work for free. He did a fantastic job. The door works like a gem now and he gave us a 5-minute lesson on how to best maintain the door. I paid him more than he quoted given his extra work, value, integrity and know-how. Marcos Infantino is a gentleman, honest and committed to his craft, going the extra mile to delight this customer. He's simply amazing! Use him with absolute delight. Highly recommended!!!"

"Fast and professional, Muhammad replaced the springs, replaced the roller wheels, balanced the door, lubricated everything, and installed a new opener which I had previously purchased. The garage door is working great and quietly. It cost a little more than I was expecting, but the additional cost was justified (the roller wheels were clearly worn out) and I'm happy with the results. Would hire again."

"Called Sam at 7:20 AM after garage door spring cracked and door wouldn't open. He was out by 9:30 and replaced the spring. How's that for service? Would definitely recommend Sam and First American Garage doors."
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.
