"My service technician, Brandon Brooks did an exceptional job on my garage door. He clearly explained the problem with my door and reasons that certain parts had to be replaced. He was professional and completed the job as needed. I am extremely satisfied with the work done and noticed a significant difference in the way of my garage door now opens (i.e, more quieter and runs more smoothly). Thanks Precision Overhead Garage for providing outstanding service!"

"While the job isn’t completed yet, I was compelled to write this review given the excellent service and professionalism by Premier Garage. We had 3 wall ins done (including the master) and several cabinets in our two garages and one floor in the large garage. Everything with exception of one issue encountered was done on time and with quality. Of course we can all nit pick but Premier listens and makes it right."

Aaron Did a quality installation with a nice tight 360° seal around the door keeping wind and dirt out of my garage now. The site was Iall clean when they were done. I recommend them to anyone looking for a quality garage door installation."

"I am brand new to Angi, but what a wonderful first experience! Miguel of Hale Garage Door was very responsive and prompt, calling me back early in the morning (on a holiday!) after submitting the request the night before. Fixed my spring right away (he came prepared) instead of just providing an estimate, and he also spotted some hinges that were warped and would need future replacing, and I went ahead and happily ok'd his looking out. Also made a recommendation to keep our garage safer from break-ins (not as an upsell, just a suggestion--which was to cut the string that hangs down, as thieves often use that for entry.) Anyway--Miguel was pleasant, seemed honest and fair enough, and could not have been quicker and easier. I lucked out! :)"

"Everything from the estimate to the installation of the garage door went smoothly. Junior Cardona was the installation technician and the projected arrival time was set for between 8 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Junior arrived by 8:45 a.m., completed the removal of the old wooden door and installed the new track and metal door and was done in less than 5 hours doing the whole job by himself which was very impressive!"

"Jason was easy to talk to and made us feel he would do a great job. However as each day progressed, the quality of the work deteriorated.  He painted 13 doors, 5 of the 13 doors had bubbles and or started peeling, he said that would be easy to fix, and to date he has not returned to fix the doors.  We also told him of several other problems.  He said just make a list a he would fix it.  We made the list and never heard from Jason again. He was also very messy.  He did not put down a cover on our new carpet before applying texturing to the walls,which as you could guess ended up with texture material stuck all over the to the rug.

FAQs for garage and garage door service projects in Santa Cruz, CA

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.
