"Alex of A. N. Garage Doors was very professional. I wanted to replace the weather striping around the garage door. Alex looked over the whole system and showed me that the cable sand the rollers were very worn. The door had been in place for over 30 years , so I told him to replace them also. He completed the job quickly and I was very satisfied with the work. I would highly recommend him."

"We have known and used Door Doctor for over 20 years, and recommended them to several friends. Everyone is completely satisfied, every time. Christian has helped us out many times, installed doors and kept our opener running. He just installed a new door and opener after our garage was destroyed in a storm...as always, super responsive and no stress. He is the best there is. There is no reason to call anyone else!"

"The garage door expert arrived on time. He was polite, courteous and professional. He inspected the garage door, springs, cables and hardware, and pointed out how the existing springs were insufficient causing the garage door opener to overwork and advised me on all necessary repairs. He replaced what was needed and recalibrated the garage door opener to adjust for the new springs. The garage door now works seamlessly and much quieter than before. Next year will have Precision install a new insulated steel door and will request the same technician."

"Durable door replaced the top hinges on our garage door. All seemed to work fine but after 6 weeks the hinges popped off the track again. They came back right away and replaced the hinges with heavy duty ones. The garage door is working fine. There was no extra charge the second trip. Well done."

"I couldn't be happier. They showed up on time, worked hard all day to install my new garage doors and then took the time to help me program my car and phone to gain access. The technician was incredibly professional and courteous. I would recommend this company to anyone needing new garage doors."

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.
