"Extremely professional, very transparent, and excellent quality of work. They also showed me things to do to extend my garage door life. They notice that my garage door opener was mounted incorrectly and they fixed it at no extra cost. I highly recommend to my friends and neighbors."

"Had a broken spring on our garage door. The door could not be opened and our cars were stuck in the garage. Called the repair company on a Saturday and they were able to send a service rep the next Monday. The Service rep arrived within the promised timeframe. The Rep explained the options of service very well and the costs associated with each. Based on the age of the door we opted for the complete overhaul service. The work was done to our satisfaction and am grateful to have the door working again."

"This was our second time hiring Carolina Superior Paint. The first time was for the interior, and they did such an amazing job that we knew we wanted them for our exterior as well. So glad we did because our house looks brand new now! We love that this is a small family business. You can tell they care and they paint the house as they would their own. Their attention to detail is unmatched! Kerry and his crew are communicative, reliable, and honestly just the best at what they do!"

"We hired Blackline Building to add a deck to the back of our house and to renovate our master suite. Sam was so easy to work with. He offered several suggestions that made the process very easy. His crews were very respectful of our property, cleaned up daily and finished the project on time. We could not be happier with the finished product!"

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.
