"Brandon was on time clean, professional, well spoken. He diagnosed the problem quickly and accurately, repairs were accomplished quickly. As this was my garage I had "stuff" in his way (which I knew would be a problem), he informed me politely and professionally that the items would need to be moved, he even helped."

"This is a small sample of the great work Hayes Brothers did. This was a huge job. They replaced 30+ windows, 5 doors, siding, gutters, 3 garage doors, and openers. They did an amazing job. Their quality and professionalism is unmatched. 10/10 will hire again."

"They arrived every day promptly at the time agreed on. Discussed with me any questions they had instead of just going ahead with something. Michael even changed a light bulb for me. Stuck to original estimate until I added a couple of doors which I knew would increase it a little bit. Bottom line - I am very happy with their work and the cost was well within what I had planned. I will use them again for future jobs."

"Mr. Dimmett (Lee) came to my house promptly and gave me an estimate. My roof was over 20 years old, plus it had the original layer underneath. I also had a gable over my garage door which had perpetually peeling paint, and I wanted it covered in vinyl siding. Lee explained in detail what he would do, and what materials he would use. He said it would be about a month and a half before he could do the job. He explained that he is very busy at this time of year, and that he uses a small crew. He left me sample books for both the shingles and the siding. His price seemed reasonable, and was substantially less than one of the "big" companies which also gave me an estimate.
Right at 45 days or so, Lee and his crew started the job. It took several days. Lee addressed several details, such as painting a rusted kitchen vent, and installing a boot on the electrical service entrance which was only caulked previously. He told me my decking was in great condition, but he installed extra protection in critical areas anyway. He removed the stair-step flashing around the chimney and replaced it with a straight piece, which looks much better. He removed a power attic vent and installed ridge venting. He installed 35-year GAF Timberline HD shingles. The weather turned very cold and we got some snow as he was finishing the roof. He came back at the first opportunity and covered the gable with siding. He suggested a fake gable vent to dress up the gable, and threw that in for free.
My house looks a lot better than it did before. The dimensional shingles look great, as does the siding and vent on the gable. Plus I'll never have to paint the gable again. Lee and his crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. They did a very thorough cleanup. I mowed the yard afterward and did not find any nails or debris.
I am a bit concerned that some of the shingles are not lying flat. Lee assures me they will seal down when the weather gets warmer. Also, there is a smudge/scrape on the new white siding. Lee said he would come by and take care of that, but he hasn't yet.
I highly recommend Mr. Dimmett. He seems to be an honest, down-to-earth individual who takes pride in his work and does an outstanding job. I trust him and his crew. I plan to hire him again soon to replace a window.

"D&J Garage Door was excellent, fast, and efficient. Kudos."
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.
