"In terms of what they could get done in three hours, they were pretty damn amazing. I had a door kicked in and they repaired the frame while preserving the (very nice) door, and the guys themselves were positive and friendly. Would recommend for a similar repair to anyone."

"I started by grouping a lot of small projects together (shed door sticking, upper level roof gutter cleaning, garage floor drain replacement, replacing door frame with termite and brick molding damage, deck railing). No job was too small. Because of his quality workmanship, I did not hesitate to call him after a sump pump failure caused a finish basement to be flooded. He made sure that he was on site when the insurance adjuster arrived. It made the whole process more complete, and he was able to answer the adjuster's questions better than I could have."

"Technicians examined my garage door and diagnosed the problems with it. They completed repairs the same evening and I had a brand new motor assembly which is quiet and working perfectly since. They do nice work."

"I had water that would often come up through a "drain" in my garage, sometimes up to three inches. I had no idea how to remedy this, besides pouring a new concrete floor. Once the floor removal started, Zach realized that there was a lot more water than anticipated in the ground under my garage floor, and more needed to be done than what was originally expected. I trusted Zach with his experience and expertise and he came up with what I believe was the best solution to my problem. The result was that I got a new garage floor that looks great, plus proper water drainage so this never happens again. Zach always kept me apprised of when he would be at my house, what he was doing and when, and how long this would all take. He was always responsive to my text messages and he was a pleasure to do business with. I would hire him to do any other concrete work that I might need/want in the future."

"Mike was awesome! He went above and beyond. He met me to pick out an exterior door, delivered it and installed. The whole frame needed repair and he fixed it beautifully. He was here when he said he would be and he is reasonably priced. I hired him for other work as well and, again, is doing a great job!!"

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.
