"Excellent service from the first time I called. Gentleman came out to provide estimate, very informative and professional. I compared their quote with two other companies, Baker was a better product at a comparable price. Installers showed up on time as scheduled, removed old door and installed new one in about half a day. We are very happy with the new door, it looks great, and more importantly, it is an insulated door that has made a significant difference in the garage temperature as well as the comfort of the two bedrooms above the garage. I definitely recommend Baker, and actually one or our neighbors has since used them after seeing our new door.

"I knew from day 1 that I wanted to go with Joe and his company. Right from the get go he was professional and amicable. Him and his team did a great job and helped give various advice to make our remodel finally come to life. I had our garage that was mostly storage space turned into a closet /laundry room and dry walled the garage and gives so much more function and appeal to our house. I worked mostly with Tristan (electrician/contractor) throughout it and his communication was spot on I got daily updates and always making sure it was what I had envisioned. These guys were great to work with and top pros for sure. Definitely looking forward to working with them again."

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.
