"Amazing response time, friendly, good service. I called late at night about a garage door that broke and got stuck, since I needed to get my car out for the next day. They were understanding and flexible, and got there early the very next morning to get the car out and diagnose the problem. After the parts came in, they came back and repaired it; it's working great now."

"We were very pleased to hear from Mr. Henderson within 1 business day of emailing him. He came that same day to look over work request. We chose replacement fans and let him know we had them. It took a few days for him to come back to re-evaluate the exact needs for replacing the garage door opener as garage is small and ceiling is low. Mr. Henderson and a colleague came on the day agreed upon and did all of the work in 6-7 hours.
We were pleased with the work done. And, we felt the estimate was fair. We thought Mr. Henderson had to work longer than he estimated, but he did NOT charge us any more, which we noticed and appreciated!

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.
