"OK, but the tuneup simply consisted in lubricaring the garage door wheels.I thought there more to a tuneup than this. If I had know that I could have done it myself."

"They were fast, met me where I was and design a beautiful door for us! They have done two doors for me and we have been very happy. Also, you might not think that garage doors benefit from innovative thinking but I found that with GDI that made a world of difference - like the recommended side mount jack shaft opener that freed up my entire garage ceiling! If you need a door or opener or something isn’t working, give them a call! Thanks GDI!"

"Great service! Ben, the technician, arrived during the promised window, was friendly, courteous, professional, and efficient. He advised regarding options for service (lube & tune of existing system) vs motor replacement. Ben also advised that if I elected service vs replacement at this time and subsequently (within one year) replaced the motor, the cost for the lube & tune service would be credited toward the purchase price of a new motor. I'm very satisfied with the entire customer experience. Ben was excellent and I would highly recommend Local Garage Door Company."

"Unbelievable, I called around 12:00 PM and talked to Tony. He had his crew at our house in less than 1/2 hour. The crew was very polite and efficient. They replaced the main spring, inspected the garage door and did necessary adjustments.The price was reasonable. We couldn’t be happier."

"While the job isn’t completed yet, I was compelled to write this review given the excellent service and professionalism by Premier Garage. We had 3 wall ins done (including the master) and several cabinets in our two garages and one floor in the large garage. Everything with exception of one issue encountered was done on time and with quality. Of course we can all nit pick but Premier listens and makes it right."

"I was very impressed with the professionalism of the two technicians, Gabriel and Solomon, who removed our old garage door and installed the new one in a short amount of time. I would absolutely recommend Precision Garage Door for both the quality of the garage door and the installation service providers!"

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.
