"Wonderful! Ray is the BEST!! Very fair quote, came out the next day and replaced both springs (at my request). On his own initiative he also greased and cleaned whatever needed greasing and cleaning for no extra charge. I had no idea how quiet a garage door could be! Recommended him to my neighbor and now on Angie's. This guy deserves your business!!"

"GREAT! Don came out and gave me an estimate on the spot. It was right in line with other estimates I had gotten, but I felt Don did the best job of explaining the project. When I got the written estimate online it was lower than Don's handwritten one, Diana, the very nice woman in the office told me he had not done the math correctly and she found the error and it came out lower for me. What a gift! They also gave me a generous Angie's List discount. The workers were on time, worked quickly, cleaned up nicely and I absolutely love how the garage floor looks. Every time I open the garage door I love not seeing the ugly, dirty, cracked concrete. Wish I had done it years ago. I highly recommend Broadleaf.

"Chris Cruz from Accurate Door (MyAccurateDoor.com) came out and replaced the rails on our garage door. Night and day difference — the door is running way smoother than before. What stood out is that he didn’t just swap the parts and leave. He spent time making sure everything was lined up and tested opening and closing with us so we knew it was right. Clean, professional work and easy to deal with. If you need garage door repair in the area, ask for Chris Cruz. We’ll use Accurate Door again."

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.
