"My garage door was uneven, and Alamo Garage Doors fixed it quickly. The technician tested the door several times to make sure it was safe. I felt confident after the service."

"Job was costed out and completed within 48 hours of my first contact. Workers stayed late into the night to get it done -- looks like they underestimated the labor but stuck to their bid price. Cleaned up and took a lot of junk (the old openers) when they left. Doors, probably 75 years old or more, are now working smoothly, with all new rollers as well as motors and electronics."

"Eric was fantastic! He came out promptly and gave me an initial estimate and the final price was actually less than what he quoted me!! He explained everything he was doing and made the necessary repairs and adjustments needed to both of my slightly oversized garage doors. Highly recommended!"

"I couldn’t be more impressed with the exceptional service I received from the owner of Maietta and Sons! From the moment I put in a request to have my garage door fixed, he responded immediately—something that’s hard to come by these days. He was at my home within a day, and not only did he complete the job quickly and efficiently, but he also went above and beyond by offering helpful insights to keep my garage door working smoothly in the future. It’s clear that he takes great pride in his work and genuinely cares about his customers. I’m truly grateful for the professionalism, expertise, and friendly service, and I’m looking forward to a continued relationship for any future garage door needs. Highly recommend!"

"Douglas Comiel (sp.?) installed a new garage door replacing our Replaced damaged door was timely, efficient, polite and checked to be sure everything I needed was done. He also replaced the garage door opener which I was sorely missing in the cold winter. The door looks great, matching the existing door, and works perfectly! I could not be more pleased with my experience!"

"I hired Master Garage based on the positive reviews on HomeAdvisor, and after Tom came to my house after hours and provided me with a very reasonable quote for grinding and coating the basement floor of my 1864 house. I could tell that Tom takes great pride in his business. Phil did an amazing job coating the floor and filling all holes and cracks. He applied a primer coating, which initially was supposed to be the finish coat. It turned out a bit patchy, and Phil came back the same week to apply a polyurethane top coat to even out the look, without extra charge. The flooring looks amazing. I cannot speak to durability yet, but I have no doubt that Master Garage will come back and fix any problems if they occur. Great customer service!"

"I got a call from Kasey within minutes of posting the request. After describing the problems over the phone I was told what to expect for repairs. The work was performed very quickly and I was educated on garage door maintenance as a bonus. I thought the price was very fair as well. I would highly recommend KSE Garage Door Services."
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.
