"Our garage door opener broke suddenly. We put out a request and Prime Garage Doors responded within minutes and gave us an estimate. We explored 2 other bids, but ended up choosing Prime Garage Doors. They were able to come out the same day and finished late afternoon. The new opener was so much quieter than the old and had a lot more features. A few weeks after, we accidentally reset the opener, and they came out and fixed very quickly! I'm very happy with our choice of Prime Garage Doors, because of price, the quickness of the install, as well as service in a timely manner."

"Same day service on Martin Luther king day to replace two broken garage door springs. He had to work with two cars in the garage with little space since they were trapped within the garage. He was able to complete the work in about an hour. It was pricey for the new springs; far more than I had expected. Labor charge was what I had expected."

"Excellent service from start to finish! The technician arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issue with my garage door, and explained everything clearly before starting the repair. The work was completed efficiently, the price was fair, and the garage door now works perfectly. The technician was friendly, professional, and left the area clean when the job was finished. I highly recommend Home Service Garage Door Company to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality garage door service. I would definitely use them again."

"First-rate quality on construction. We encountered some issues but the crew always found a solution. The project took a little longer than expected but it was worth the wait. Family and friends always marvel at the space that was created from a dreary garage. We got two bids on the project. The other was 50 percent higher."

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.
