"I got 4 quotes 3 of which were all about the same. It came down to whom I thought would provide the best service. This was the only company that took the time to take the cover off the motor and show us what was wrong. The gears were all worn out. Rather than replace the gears I choose to replace the unit. They were very professional and did not leave until we knew that everything worked correctly including the remote key pad outside the door. Great firm , great price, and exceptional customer service."

"Our garage door opener broke suddenly. We put out a request and Prime Garage Doors responded within minutes and gave us an estimate. We explored 2 other bids, but ended up choosing Prime Garage Doors. They were able to come out the same day and finished late afternoon. The new opener was so much quieter than the old and had a lot more features. A few weeks after, we accidentally reset the opener, and they came out and fixed very quickly! I'm very happy with our choice of Prime Garage Doors, because of price, the quickness of the install, as well as service in a timely manner."

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.
