"Sam arrived on time, and did a great job. He took the time to explain what was wrong...why my garage door wasn't working...and showed me exactly what the problem was. I needed an new opener. Since mine was very old, that made perfect sense :-) He took the time to explain my options, and told me the price upfront. Once the new garage door opener was installed, he carefully inspected the entire system. He oiled the opening mechanism made some suggestions for maintenance. Then he took apart and hauled away the old mechanism. In short, Sam is a well-versed professional with a great deal of experience, as, I suspect are the other professionals at Overhead. I was very pleased with the service, and I will use Overhead Doors for any future garage door needs in the future!"

"Mr. Overhead door was the solution to my problem. After closing the garage door after work I heard a loud pop. After that the garage wouldn't open anymore. A neighbor of mine referred me to Mr. Overhead door and the guy was very professional and informed me that the pop was the spring the lifts the garage up. My garage was fixed the next day at a very reasonable price and I would do business with them again."

"If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. I’m incredibly grateful for the same-day service especially after another company canceled on me just 30 minutes before our scheduled appointment. You guys truly saved the day. I needed the new garage door opener installed right away to accommodate a new car and your team came through without hesitation. Justin handled the installation, and was nothing short of outstanding. Not only is he cool and exceptionally knowledgeable, but his attention to detail and professionalism stood out. He completed the installation fast, offered valuable tips on how to maintain my door, and took time to walk me through the new system and app once everything was done. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. I’ve already recommended your company to be added to our HOA’s preferred vendors list, because this kind of reliability matters. Thanks again Justin…you were born for this work, and I truly appreciate your help!"

"I am very happy and thrilled by the outstanding results of my garage floor project by Guardian Garage Floors. From the free home consultation that included a presentation of color options to the full implementation of the project that entailed garage floor, concrete back walls and the garage apron I was totally impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the entire staff. When the installation crew arrived, Team Leader, Ben Vance, noticed the existing hot water heater and immediately pointed out that if I ever decide to switch to a tankless hot water heater that I should just call the office and he would be happy to return and fix the four small spots on the garage floor of the stationary hot water heater. Ben and his team performed amazing customer service that has transformed by garage into a modern and beautiful environment. In fact, neighbors and friends tell me that it gives my home a new look curb appeal. For homeowners, a garage makeover is a great investment too."

"Our home was built in the early 1980s. The garage door is original. One of the springs broke Saturday morning. My husband called a few Garage Door Repair companies for service. Garage Door Prime Repair has the highest Customer Reviews of the companies he contacted. The owner, Anthony, was the first to return his call. They scheduled the repair between 9-10 am today. Anthony texted to confirm he would arrive between 9:30-9:45 am. He arrived when he said he would and quickly and efficiently fixed the garage door for what he told us the price would be. Highly recommend!"

"They came out to fix my garage after a car backed into it. From the very first call, the gentleman was professional and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease. When they arrived, they quickly identified the issue — my garage door had literally fallen out and was a complete disaster. They were considerate of my home, my budget, and my time. On top of that, they provided a guarantee/warranty for their workmanship, which gave me even more confidence in the repair. I will definitely have this company return for other handyman needs around my home. I truly wish I had a “before” picture to upload. All I can say is that I am grateful."

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.
