"Alex was great. He knew one of my springs on my garage door was broken but he also looked up my house on Google so he could possibly see what the door looked like. He brought the appropriate springs and told me that the springs he brought are the type my garage should have. The springs I have currently were not going to last long because they were made for a lighter door. Then he gave me 3 options for the repair and a great price. Very professional and informative."

"Super pleased with my experience. I needed an automatic garage door opener installed on a manual garage door. Max the electrician came the night before and put in an outlet near the ceiling for a very reasonable price. Cliff came on time the next afternoon and set to work. My garage is detached and old, and the door itself, although new, had been installed poorly. He fixed that and tightened the tension rod, and then began the installation process only to discover that a wood beam in the garage was so low it would be impossible to continue. He discussed the problem with me, and I decided I wanted to remove the beam. I was amazed that he immediately agreed to do it for me. Then he installed the opener and finally he spent a good deal of time helping me set up my phone so that I can open the door using an app. He asked me where I wanted the keypad mounted before installing that, which was great because I want my kids to be able to reach it so they can get bikes out. Both Max the electrician and Cliff the installer are extremely good at what they do and speaking with them I knew I could trust them to do it right. The work they did is excellent, and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this company."

"Excellent craftsmanship and service. We needed a new frame for a new garage door, and service for the existing door for a freestanding 2 car garage. Jairo s estimate was already significantly Less than others, and he proposed exactly what was requested without any attempts to upsell to get more work. The work was completed very early and with no issues. I ve added them to my favorites for upcoming future work. Definitely worth it for basic or challenging garage door projects."

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.
