"Great service and very reasonable! I called AB Garage Door on a Tuesday morning, Alan got back to me a little over an hour later and was at my house approximately 15 minutes after that. Wow! They fixed my broken cable, replaced a roller, and lubricated the mechanisms. My garage door now works like new. Agree with comments about being careful about other companies using call centers, etc. I made that mistake in the past. Highly recommend Alan and his company!"

"We were in need of a new garage door to replace the original 1965 version that was no longer operational or safe. We turned to Home Advisor and ultimately picked Ryan and Mid Cape Garage Door to do the work. We couldnât be happier with this decision. Ryan provided reasonable quotes accompanied with photo-shopped pictures of our house with the different doors available to help us choose the style. Once work started, Ryanâs crew was polite, professional and the quality of their work was outstanding. We would definitely recommend Ryan and Mid Cape Garage Door to anyone needing a new door."

"Kreative Barns replaced my rotting west Yarmouth garage with a most beautiful, 6a style, space we will cherish for generations! They did it on schedule, in a pandemic, and on budget, in a lumber shortage. Well done!"

"Ben and his Subs were awesome to work with. We put an addition on our house, adding an oversized 1-car garage with a studio apartment including full bath above as well as expanding our kitchen, master bedroom above, and basement below. Quality of work is top notch and worth every cent and he managed overcoming the inevitable hiccups along the way promptly and professionally. We plan to hire him for more work this year to put in a patio and outdoor kitchen as well!"

"Wesley and his crew were very professional, efficient and we couldn’t have had a better experience! They painted our cherry kitchen cabinets, a bright white that made them look like new cabinets. We highly recommend their service."
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.
