Customers say: Quality work
"Travis and Michele (who I did not meet) did a great job! We had 16 large trees removed. We were not at our place up north when the work was done but Travis kept us informed every step of the way. He texted, sent pictures and videos as well as called with any questions. They went above and beyond and did work that they didnâ t charge us for. They were reasonably priced and completed the job in a very short time. I would recommend them for tree work and would certainly hire them again! Travis was excellent with communicating about what was being done. 5+ stars!"

"My garage door was stuck open in the dead of winter with snow blowing in. M & R came quickly to repair the door at a very reasonable price, and he and his co-worker were both friendly."

"Jody came out, was professional, punctual, knowledgable, and gave me a free estimate. However, I had no idea of what it would cost so am unable to replace the balcony this year. I know he would do a good job. Sorry."

"I was looking for a deck or patio built and had been hunting around for a few weeks. I booked a consultation on a Friday, John was out here Monday, and my deck was finished Tuesday! Great work and very professional. I am looking to put in a privacy fence within 6-10 months and will for sure call John to do the job. Thanks again. Brent"

"D&J Garage Door was excellent, fast, and efficient. Kudos."
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.
