"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!"

"Is the limit only 5 stars? Bob did several jobs for me that I can no longer do for myself. This included painting a 50 foot concrete garage, removing 2 custom made interior doors, & taking them to his shop, where he stained & polyurethane them. Then he power-washed my natural shingle, cape style house, following that he painted the concrete foundation of said house! We not only got a painter, we got a friend!"

Also did a regular epoxy floor, 2 coats, for our basement to keep dust from tracking into our new home. Looks fantastic. Very highly recommend for a transformative look to your home or business."

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.
