"After a nightmare of dealing with contractors over a two year period, I called Precision Garage Doors to order some long needed doors. From the initial contact, who measured and placed the order, to the installers, it was such a pleasant experience working with this company. Highly competent, very personable employees, fair prices, this company should provide lessons to the building trade on how to provide good, honest service to their customers. Five stars isn't enough--they deserve a 10 star rating."

"I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Conson garage doors. Communication was great, evaluation of my issue was honest with options given to me concerning what I wanted to do.I decided to go for a new opener since the “ builders special” opener that was originally installed was not really powerful enough for the door. Installation was done professionally and price was reasonable. Paul went above and beyond to make sure my questions on door operations were answered and he assisted me in setting up some of the available programs. I am fortunate to have chosen this company for my install, and I would highly recommend them for an honest and fair evaluation of any garage door issues you may be having. Steve S"

"I rarely take the time to review anything but Bruza Liquid Floors just finished my garage floor and did an outstanding job! The amount of prep work they completed, their friendliness, attention to detail, and final product was more than I ever expected. If you want to have the garage floor that you enjoy and that will also impress your neighbors hire these guys. While they were finishing up the job two people viewed my garage floor and wanted their company info. I highly recommend Bruza Liquid Floors!"

"Technicians examined my garage door and diagnosed the problems with it. They completed repairs the same evening and I had a brand new motor assembly which is quiet and working perfectly since. They do nice work."
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.
