"Nick called to let me know he was headed my way. He arrived and was professional and friendly. He performed a safety check on my garage door and discussed the repair needed. He gave me a fair quote. He completed the repair in less than 30 mins. I’m so thankful Apex was available to come to my house first thing in the morning so I didn’t miss any work."

"I am not a person who enjoys putting "all 5's" for reviews. That being said, I had no choice here - the service was top notch, FAST, and imbued with professionalism. James, the owner of the company, was the person who did my new garage door opener and garage door. One thing that I especially liked was how James would always put his tools away when he was done using them. It screamed, "I've been doing this for a while, I'm fast at it, and I'm good at it." I asked a lot of questions while he was installing the door and he answered them all without making me feel like an idiot. Very happy that I chose The Garage Door Guy for my needs - would recommend to everyone!"

"Was just looking for estimate for garage door and did not have time to get garage opener installed that day of estimate but felt pressured into getting work done. It was stressful. I was almost late to work and was just not happy. When he showed me options I thought I was just picking which one I wanted estimate on not agreeing to get it installed."

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.
