"Bernard was prompt and thorough in all our interactions. He came when he said he would and he did what he said he would do. He took up and leveled pavers in our patio that due to improper original installation were creating drainage issues. He and his assistant are very professional. We definitely recommend him and will have him back should a need arise."

"Sergio and his team performance was excellent and they are very honest of what is needed to fix my garage door. They provided me details on how to fix garage door without the sales talk like the other companies came. Their quoted me why too high and other technician stating needs to replace some parts which D&S said, your garage just got derailed nothing much broken except 1 rail needs to be straight up."

"I hired JB construction to pour a decent sized concrete pad under my deck as well as to replace the existing footings. Working with Josh was great - he was timely, honest, patient, and very clear and concise with cost and timeframes. Once the job started, the crews arrived and were very accommodating, capable and friendly. I have no problem trusting these individuals for the next projects we have planned and am looking forward to seeing the quality of work they continue to deliver!"

"I would recommend Cavalier Garage Door for garage door services"
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.
