"My husband and I were in a real jam and needed a new garage motor. Maryland Garage doors provided professional, TIMELY, high-quality work. I was beyond impressed when they followed-up with me the next day just to make sure we were satisfied with our new motor. In an economy where contractors rake you over the coals, this company has honesty and integrity. Thank you to Maryland Garage doors for your outstanding service. You have lifelong customers here. (We'll see you again given it's a four-car garage!)"

"The garage door technician came out to access the issue with my garage door. We both looked over what was going on and he got right to fixing the door. I was pretty pleased with what he did to repair the issues with the garage door. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. I will definitely be calling this company back to upgrade my garage door"

"My old garage door was a disaster! Tom from Pop's came out as scheduled, and gave me two estimates, (repair/replacement). He had to go to another job and pick up a part for my job, as I chose repair. Tom was back when he said he would be, and fixed my door in a timely, professional manner, for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Pop's Garage Door. They turned a bad situation into a pleasant experience, as my garage door works better than it has in years!!"

"Excellent. They fixed my garage next day because they had the panel for my garage door the other installers needed a month to get from the manufacturer on back order, including the big box store. Reasonable price, great service."

"I researched five companies, crossed out two immediately due to too many inconsistent or negative review comments & I invited three companies. See the before pic and the two after pictures. The owner’s meeting was ‘real’ not ‘salesey’. The business is a local business, a plus when comparing to remote corporate company sales calls without long-time local installations. The price was very reasonable and much less than other companies. A decision for a discount for doing more than one garage floor install at the same time in the same community, was made on the spot. Two day install and then two full days drying/hardening time (it was my choice to add another day before moving in cars). Highly recommend this company and the expertise of their installers! Do your due diligence & you’ll see why I recommend this company. Enjoy your new garage floor soon!"

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.
