"Very impressed with the service from Overhead Door Company. Gary T. was the service technician. He was was very personable, professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service! He was on time, did a thorough review of the system and quickly diagnosed the issue. He replaced all of the necessary components and the system is working great! Additionally, Gary provided tips on keeping the garage door system in good working condition. I highly recommend giving them a call when you’re in need of service on your garage door. Also, the price was reasonable. Overall great service!!"

"Several years ago, I used Guardian Garage Floors for my front and back porch and could not have been more pleased. I just recently had them come back out and do my garage and again, GREAT WORK! All contact with staff was very professional and everyone showed up on time and cleaned up thoroughly. I cannot recommend Guardian Garage Floors highly enough."

"Wes and Nick did an exceptional job putting in and fixing my garage door! If you want your garage door to be installed in a timely manner, that wonâ t break the bank these are your guys! They had to fix many mistakes made by a local garage company and did it without any complaints. They kept me updated through out the whole process, and made sure I was aware of everything. They came out on an Emergency Call because my door was practically falling off, and was a safety hazard and they where there in no time! I would Definitely recommend them for all your garage door needs!"

Customers say: Terrific value
"Marty is very professional and did an outstanding job of a 2-car garage, a 1-car garage, and the unfinished part of our basement, probably about 1,500-2,000 square feet. He and his assistant were respectful of our property and finished the entire project in 2 days during November 2015. The floors look terrific - much better than other epoxied floors we have seen. I HIGHLY recommend Marty. His price was also very reasonable (read MUCH less than) other quotes."

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.
