"Overall my experience with Casella Garage Doors was fantastic. I met with the owner which gave me a very reasonably priced quote. He worked with my wife and I with deciding what type of door would be best suited for our home. Jesus did the work and was fantastic. He arrived early, was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job. Overall I would recommend Casella to anyone looking to have their garage doors replaced or fixed."

"Mike fixed the problem so that my remote garage door opener (the one that stays in my car) now can open & close the garage door. It was something that I couldn't do myself, because it required technical knowledge about the workings of the unit on the garage ceiling."

"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."

"Things started well right from the start. An email was sent to me which provided me with a photo of the salesperson who would be coming so that I would be sure I was dealing with the right people. The price on the garage door was higher than that provided by other vendors but the quality of the door was higher and the job was going to entail replacing all of the hardware that had been in place. It made sense since some of the hardware was in-place since 1979 and it was time to go. None of the other vendors were going to do this.
The gutters were installed by a different team - and on a different date - from the garage door team. Both of them were polite, efficient and prompt.
The only thing I would have wished is that I would have been able to make one call and be able to get information on both projects. The way DiGiorgi is structured, each area is separate and you need to call each area individually.

"Nixon was courteous and his crew was very friendly. He knows what heâ s doing and it is reflected in the quality of his work. Once he started my job he focuses on it and gets it completed quickly. For my project he added 3 additional footings under my deck and extended the deck so passage by my three season room door is unobstructed . Iâ m bring him back to do an additional project for me."

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.
