"Our condo association was very pleased with 911 Restoration's excellent remediation and repair work. Everything went smoothly and professionally. We highly recommend their services and definitely would use them again. Their project manager Roy gave us an estimate that was not only competitive with other estimates we received but also more detailed. He was very prompt in all his communications, both by email and cell. The remediation and the repairs (bottom foot of drywall replaced with cement board, walls painted, some new doors installed) were done on time and to our specifications. After the remediation, a third-party company that tested the area was so impressed that they asked us who did the job so that they could work with 911 Restoration in the future."

"The project went very well from my initial meeting with John for a quote all the way through to now having a beautiful garage floor. I was treated like family and provided helpful tips before, during, and after the job. Everyone I met from the company was respectful, professional, and went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of as a customer. My family and I are so happy with the new garage floor and I'm happy that I was able to find the right company for the job. Without hesitation I would recommend hiring Epoxy Transformations. They will take care of you and you will be happy with your decision."

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.
