"Yes he was proficient in his knowledge to install garage openers, I understand he had problems working in an older garage and its problems that he had with installing it. He was good at communicating with me when he was going to be late. However it took him 4 days to complete, leaving to get tools or supplies he needed and not working a whole day any one day. as he said himself he is slow but thorough. I appreciated him explaining to me the process it took and problems he was having installing it. After he was done he made sure I understood how to use the remotes."

"I hired James for two days last year to remove some broken tile from the bathroom and install a shower surround in its place. It's more complicated than it sounds because there's a window in that wall of the bathroom, and he also reconstructed the sill and border with water-safe materials rather than the original wood. He did the job quickly, the price was right and I was happy with the results.
This year I wanted to do some more work on the bathroom (see above), so I contacted James again. Again he was able to schedule the work quickly and gave me an estimate that was right in line with the preliminary figures we'd talked about the previous year. We agreed on which supplies I'd pick up and which ones he'd be responsible for, and he was responsive and helpful -- even loading a vanity I'd previously bought into his trailer and bringing it to Home Depot so I could return it when I decided I'd rather have a different one. There was an error with a can of paint he picked up for some of the painting I was going to do -- it was a deep base that needed to be tinted, so it didn't actually have any color on its own. James removed it from my bill for materials, and I bought my own replacement. This was a three-day project, and again I'm happy with how it turned out. The only issue was that we agreed he'd return the following week to rehang the mirror and the linen cabinet doors after I'd finished painting; I had a tough time getting a hold of him to pin down an appointment, and it ended up being the next week before those final touches were completed. I don't care about the delay itself -- it came about in part because of an illness in his family -- but the lack of communication that week was frustrating.
But overall, I can recommend James' work and his rates, and I will hire him again. We've discussed a Phase Three of the bathroom remodel, redoing the floor with tile later this year, and I've also considered having him do a collection of other jobs like installing a garbage disposal and painting the exterior doors."

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.
