"Great job. I called them five minutes before closing and they got somebody to my house the next day. My garage door could not close as the spring and lift mechanism became undone. Everything was fixed in no time. Good folks. Very professional."

"Chris from Going up garage door was a life saver. Before I turned to Angi to find a contractor, I Got a quote from a different garage door company and was quoted a ridiculous up charge. Of $300 for a part that I went and bought for $20 at Lowes and to be clear that did not include the labor fee. Disappointed that same contractor was also on the list for Angie. However, Chris came out to give me a quote and he did a fabulous job and saved the today. Skilled knowledgeable professional and completely open and fair with pricing and labor. Thank you Chris from Going up Garage Door for still giving great service at a great price in todays world. Thank you Angi"

"They came and they did the job. Very good and nice quality. They showed up what time they supposed to be. The garage door is about 2 years now and I never encounter any issues. I would definitely hire them again."

"Called Precision Door on a Saturday (late) afternoon regarding our remotes suddenly not working. Matt, who had been to our house before, came out 1.25 hrs later. Matt diagnosed the problem and fixed it in short order. He was/is courteous, straightforward, knowledgeable and professional (hard to improve in that). I was quoted their basic $65 services charge when I called and that is what I was charged. Their high ratings are earned."

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.
