"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."

"I would highly recommend Advance Garage Door Services! The initial response was the same day as my request and the work was done the very next day. (Our garage is older, so parts had to be ordered.)

"Our garage door spring broke at night when opening & the heavy door crashed closed. In the morning we chose "First American " company after a brief phone interview with Sam, who arrived later that morning when he said he would, from a considerable distance, and finished the work within an hour, installing two new springs & new rollers on our 8 year old two-car garage door ( steel, sectional). Competitive pricing and friendly, informative service, including inspecting the whole door system. Hire him!"

"I had 3 estimates done. Once I talked to Gabe about my new front porch project I knew right away I would be choosing his company. Very professional had great ideas for a new composite decking porch in between the garage and house. Materials delivered the day before, crew showed up early and completed the project in one day. Final results exceeded my expectations."

"Did what they were hired to do"

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.
