"The work of Ocean Coast Garage Doors was top notch. Not only were they willing to schedule a time to accommodate our schedule on a weekend, but they finished the project quickly and were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Feel so lucky that we found Ocean Coast Garage Doors - they really helped us when we were having serious problems with our garage door opener. They also showed us how to maintain the doors to prevent further problems. The new garage door opener is quiet and works well with my vehicle. Highly recommend!"

"Great service and very friendly staff. Knew exactly what the issue was and handled it very professionally. 1st pic is post-fix. 2nd pic is builder grade garage door spring, and 3rd pic shows a much sturdier and heavy duty garage door spring 💪🏾. Hopefully I won't need them again but if my other garage door breaks I know who to call"

"Jaime was prompt, professional and provided several options to consider. I saved a substantial amount of money working with El Sol. It was not necessary to replace my garage door but modify the components and install new rollers and a Lift Master wall mounted opener. The door opens and closes with a minimal amount of noise. I would highly recommend this company."

"Anthony called right back once I left a message. He was on site within a few hours. Asked me to take pictures of the garage door and springs to validate he had the parts in stock. Arrived at the targeting time, and did a great job replacing the springs on my roll up door. He also adjusted the height which I was having on issue with. DId a great job, very nice, knows his business and I would recommend Anthony to anyone who needs help with their garage door, springs, maintenance or needs adjustments."
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.
