"I am an architect building my personal residence. Oakmont is great to work with! Joe is experienced in many areas. He has a great attitude and really works hard. He is constructing a number of features on the house, including the 1,000 SF covered deck. I highly recommend Oakmont."

"My husband and I are so happy with the work performed by Bugle Construction. Joe was so good about returning calls, emails, and texts and answered our many questions right away. Our project was multi-layered and complicated, but Joe and his crew were great at problem solving and coming up with good solutions to various design challenges and communicating with us about different options. Joe and his crew added two decks to our main house and built another deck on our guesthouse, which required a window to be relocated and a sliding glass door to be installed. They worked through all types of weather, sometimes surrounded by wild turkeys and deer, and were so nice. We would definitely recommend Bugle Construction to anyone who is looking for great quality and excellent customer service."

"We found Brandon when he was working on new construction next door. We were so impressed with the job he was doing there that we asked him to come over and look at our driveway and porch which were badly in need of cleaning and sealer. Brandon did an excellent job and we are very satisfied. Customer service is outstanding."

"Nathan completed about 20 different jobs within 2 weeks on our 120-year old house, porch, basement, & garage. Every detail was handled perfectly! The results are beautiful & we couldnâ  t be happier. Apparently there isnâ  t anything he canâ  t do! We were impressed with his character & knowledge from the initial consultation. He was helpful, creative, timely, focused, precise, neat & clean, and went beyond our expectations with all of his work, which he completed entirely himself. His pricing was perfectly fair. We have already recommended him to others, & will be proud to continue doing so. Thank you so very much, Nathan!!"

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.
