"My wife and I hired TJ'S cleanout services for a complete kitchen remodel. We couldn't be happier with the results. Tj was very responsive and always was in communication with us. Consistently letting us know what step was next and what we should expect. This was our first experience with a project like this and weren't sure what to expect. We emailed and called so many contractors that either didn't answer or didn't respond. A few "contractors" we talked to got very uncomfortable when we wanted to check and make sure they were licensed and insured. When we asked about the demolition portion of the job some companies said they either don't do it or won't do it. We really weren't sure why. we finally found Troy with TJ'S Cleanout services, he informed us that he is a state licensed demolition contractor. He told us that handyman type services and smaller 1 man operations usually aren't licensed. We are so happy with the results. 100% will use them again for any of our future projects."

"Mike came when he said he would and he was friendly and patient in explaining the process. Showed how the process keeps the moisture out of the garage which would be wet all the time on the floor. There were many finishes to pick from and the workmanship is tops. Three day process and our garage looks so nice. It cleans up the look and adds value to the home. Mike is a wonderful person and keeps you updated on everything he does and answers all questions. You will not be disappointed with him or the exceptional high quality of their work."

"He was friendly, polite, did a great job and cleaned up as he worked. Explained what he was going to do and will higher him again as well as recommend to friends and family."
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.
