"I needed some minor service on one of my garage doors. I figured it would take several weeks before I could get an appointment to have the work done. I received a phone call from Saltgrass the very next day, the tech. was in our area and came a couple of hours later. He had the parts he needed to repair the door on his truck and my doors were completely serviced an hour later. Great service, fair price, I would recommend this company to anyone."

"Mr. Doberman did an excellent job. Included me in all the decisions. I was told information I did not know. No pressure. Very happy with the service. I could have gone for a cheaper price but went with Doberman. As for the wait for the door and spring, there was a minimum requirement, and I was told a better source to get them from, and I am going to be happy in the long run that they will not break so often. Gave me the information I needed to make my decision. The door is heavy, and they went with bigger and did an excellent job and in a timely manner. Did what he said he was going to do. I did also have a temporary fix till the job was done. Five-star rating all the way!"

"Luis and his crew were professional, on budget and on schedule. I had the exterior of my beach cottage completely repainted along with a deck that needed repair and waterproofing. I was very pleased with the painting and trimming detail especially around the numerous doors and windows of the house. The deck was repaired, new waterproofing installed and surrounding metal railings repainted to my complete satisfaction."

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.
