"Malik did great work. He arrived on time, diagnosed the problem and was able to get the garage door working again in under 2 hours. He was a friendly professional and clearly very knowledgeable about overhead garage doors. I'd strongly recommend him for Five Star service!"

"David did a great job on our rental property. He finished installing a door that did not fit properly. He then replaced our Garage Door and Security Door as well. We were happy with the quality of the work after he was done and he charged us a fair price (based upon research and comparisons) for the work done. David is also a great individual and easy to talk to / get along with."

"The technician was knowledgeable and he did the work quickly and everything was good except the price I felt it was rather expensive. But I haven’t had a garage door repaired in over eight years but it was less expensive then."

"Troy responded quickly, quoted a fair price and completed the work the next morning. He and his assistant, Bobby, did a great job and he even helped me program my garage door opener to my phone and replaced the battery in the garage door opener as it he said it would likely go out in the next few months. Easy to work with. I highly recommend him"

"Highly recommend Big Ben Garage Doors to everyone. Reached out to them to repair our garage door but ended up getting a full replacement instead. They were prompt to respond and scheduled an appointment the same week. Ben came out and was very knowledgeable about garage doors giving us many options that fit the design we were looking for. He was kind and professional and very competitive compared to some of the other quotes we received. We are very happy with his work and the final results. I highly recommend if you’re looking for repairs or replacement."
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.
