"Blake and Jeff Installed a 12 foot, LiftMaster garage door opener as a gift for my son. They arrived on time with all the parts and tools needed to complete the installation. As I have learned, Blake is meticulous and double checks his work. Blake also helped my son install the LiftMaster garage door opener application and he now can control both openers from his phone. He can also monitor the camera that came as part of the installation. One Clear Choice - ask for Blake. Excellent work at a fair price."

"Couldn't be happier with the garage door repair and service I got from Third Gen. Punctual, professional and skilled. Nice guys too. Mine was a tricky repair that, I think, not all repair men could have done. For them, It was no problem. The price was better than reasonable/expected. I kept their card and will only call Third Gen for future needs. I highly recommend them for any garage door repairs. I hope to get a new door in the future and I'll definitely be calling Third Gen for that too."

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.
