"These guys are experts and understand and can fix anything related to a garage door - correctly - the first time. They are friendly (and didn’t even mind me watching them and asking questions while they worked). They will typically inspect everything regardless of the specific repair. Will coach you on maintenance. Reliable. Fair price."

"After quickly scheduling an appointment, he technician, Tommy, arrived spot on time the next day, assessed the required repairs, provided and honest and very fair estimate, began working immediately, and completely repaired my garage door both diligently and professionally. I felt Tommy went over and above to ensure all adjustments of the door were correct and now my garage door functions better and quieter than it ever has in the past 18 years. I would not hesitate to call on ProLift or recommend this franchise of the company to anyone."

"The tech came to the house and looked at the opener and equipment and was able to diagnose the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible. He gave us options and suggestions to help prevent future problems. We have had no problems with the garage door and opener since. I would happily recommend the company to any of my friends and family and call them myself if need be."
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.
