"My garage door was uneven, and Alamo Garage Doors fixed it quickly. The technician tested the door several times to make sure it was safe. I felt confident after the service."

"Courteous, prompt, extremely knowledgeable, and efficient! Completed work slotted for a 2 hour visit in less than an hour! Walked me thru everything about the work they did, answered all my questions, detailed my responsibilities for keeping my garage door operating perfectly, and even changed the light bulbs in the garage door opener when they noticed they were missing! (i just bought the house and apparently the previous owner had removed them!) I would not only recommend this company, I would use them again in a heartbeat !"

"Needed some cabinets remodeled to fit a slide in stove. Called to confirm and showed up on top, did an excellent job, very friendly and kind. Pricing was very fair for the work done and you could tell they knew what they were doing. Will definitely use again."

"Wanting to put a walkway from the front door to the driveway for many years - have discussed many different ways to do it with different contractors, had a couple of bids and left messages with many that never called back. Reyes was great - responded right away, made an appointment to come look, and called back with an estimate. The estimate was reasonable and the work of high quality. Very nice experience."

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.
