"We had a bedroom that was severely damaged by a water leak. After the remediating company took half of the room down to bare studs, we contacted DM Builders to put the room back into useable condition. Darren and has crew hung, taped, and textured new drywall on the walls and ceiling; rebuilt a closet and replaced the closet doors and door jambs; and completely repainted the entire room and ceiling. Darren was the ultimate professional. He stayed in touch with us throughout the entire project, kept us abreast of what was happening and the timing of the different phases, and personally inspected the job at each step. His crew was skilled, professional, worked quickly, neat, clean, quiet, and friendly. The end result is better than we had hoped and came in on time and exactly on budget. We plan to use DM Builders for additional projects at our home and give them our highest recommendation."

"Alignment between the installers and the sales dept. could be improved. Had issues up front with the installers keeping their time commitments. Some language issues with installers...WHY SEND SOME ONE WHO CAN NOT COMMUNICATE IN ENGLISH..? Is this not the US..? Overall we worked through it and the job was finished with satisfactory results."

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.
