"we had been working all summer for someone to do some minor projects for us. the major one was fixing a storm door. I contacted mr. Gillette and he came in two days to look at the project and gave me a quote. 3 days later he came and did the job. was very polite, professional and did an excellent job. our plan is to have him come back in the spring to do more work for us. I highly recommend Mr Gillette and have already done so with some friends of mine. looking to work with Mr. Gillette again in the spring"

"Promises made, promises kept. Rare to find a contractor who sets a date and keeps it on the calendar. John was super and kept the project running on-time. He took time to walk me through the process and options. Great clean up and follow through as well. It is without hesitation that I can recommend this outfit!"

"Jonny was very good at communicating. Our stamped concrete garage floor and basement came out great. Picking out the right concrete coloring product took some time. My only advice is to always see a concrete sample with the color and the look you want before having the concrete color applied to the actual floor which is what we did before giving the final go ahead on the concrete coloring phase. Jonny always showed up to to the job when he said and he was always on time. He is very responsive through phone calls and texting even on the weekend. His crew he uses for large jobs were also great people and do excellent workmanship as well."

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.
