"They did an excellent job. They were expensive, but you get what you pay for. The building inspector of the city said this was the best built garage he had ever inspected. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely hire them again."

"Mike & team did an excellent job in explaining what would be done, providing options on what might work best, providing detailed planning on how the install would occur, and in performing the task to lay the epoxy into the garage per schedule as indicated. I also had the lower wall below the sheet rock epoxy coated and both it and the flooring system look beyond excellent (looks like a professional shop floor). The flakes in the flooring system provides a slight bumpy surface by design, which provides good traction when wet. The system has been in place for almost five months and I have not seen any issues to date - it is holding up well against the salt & car oils."

"Kevin and Eric are very easy to work with. They were patient with our questions and asking for changes. They arrived when they said they would and always cleaned up before they left. The price quoted was very fair and I would hire them again for future projects."

"Wade does 95% of the work himself. Bid was more than fair for our project and there were no cost overruns. I was very pleased with the quality of the work and so was the city building inspector. Wade handled changes to the project when we had to move a door and stairs to a different wall midway through the project. We've already hired him for another project."

"Duke was great. Knew exactly what needed doing and got it done for an outstanding price. Door and opener are old, so I know for sure who to call when they finally give up the ghost, but in the meantime, huge thanks to HomeAdvisor for suggesting Barron, and to Barron for a job well done."

"They did an excellent job, showed up on time, cleaned up after they finished. My garage floor looks wonderful , it was crumbly, cement loose and flaking, little stones all over. Now it is clean and pretty!"

"D&J Garage Door was excellent, fast, and efficient. Kudos."
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.
