"We had an incredibly good experience with Precision Garage Door this week. Our garage door separated from the track and the supports broke loose from the wall of our garage. I called Precision and then sent a technician, Danny Salas, to our home to repair the door. He was excellent and fixed the door in no time. He was courteous and very efficient. We could not be happier with his work. Even better, Precision reminded me that they had done work on our garage door in 2017 and they covered the entire repair under their warranty from that previous call. Excellent experience all around! We too are customers for life!"

"Our garage doors are a perfect match to our new front door. I'm so glad Dan convinced us to go with the windows in the doors. It not only adds curb appeal but the natural light inside the garage is an absolute bonus. I'll use this company again."

"The sales rep, Karen, was excellent - the only woman sales rep among the vendors we contacted, and highly knowledgeable, credible, and not high-pressure. We had been looking at vinyl replacement windows, which constitute a very high percentage of replacement windows, and we had assumed that fiberglass - which contractors' reviews on the Internet said is superior - would cost more than we could pay. But the quote Karen gave us was in line with the quotes for vinyl windows.
By the time we talked with DiGiorgi, we had already talked to many other vendors, and we had realized that we were making two decisions: about the manufacturer and about the installer. We got quotes from highly reputable installers who had been selling windows from a manufacturer that had a "bad batch" and/or got sold to another manufacturer who didn't support the warranty of the previous manufacturer; or very ethical installers who sold windows manufactured by no one ever reviewed on the Web or by manufacturers panned on the Web. We began to understand that a family installer business passed to the next generation might not have the same business ethics as the first generation had. So we focused as best we could on both a robust installer company - lots of employees and many years of experience - as well as a robust manufacturer with thumbs up on the Web.
Time will tell whether we made the best choice, but so far we are delighted with DiGiorgi and with Infinity by Marvin windows. Marvin windows are very well respected. DiGiorgi is a third-generation company with over a hundred employees, and the ones I talked to raved about working for them. They installed the windows and doors of our whole house in two days in March, and have cheefrully and promptly come back to tweak a few things that needed tweaking once we started actually opening the windows and doors this summer.

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.
