"They did an excellent job. They also let me know that the garage door motor would probably need to be replaced in the next couple years. They gave me options and were not pushy at all. It has been about a year and I will be contacting them in regards to replacing motor system and possibly the door."

"We had a complex set of requirements to meet. These included functionality, structure, security, and aesthetics. In particular, we needed to replace an older gate that had been damaged by weather, police chases, and automobile accidents. This gate also adds structural support to a block wall. We needed the gate to fill the trapezoidal gap between the garage and wall and completely block the view into the yard without looking like equipment from a prison. Our vision was a strong welded steel frame with sheet metal to block the view and decorative straight and curved steel bars on the inside and outside. After we had prepared drawings of the structural and artistic concepts, and a detailed set of requirements, we searched Angie's List for a contractor that showed experience with similar designs. Interestingly, we didn't see any, but Pacific seemed to be well equipped to meet the challenge.
Pacific listened carefully to our requirements, and we gave them the concept package to think about. They stated that they had never designed a gate of this type and we told them to take their time to think about it. Pacific came back with a structural concept that was both close to what we had envisioned and something they would be comfortable with. They took one of artisitic designs which featured both straight and curved steel tubes and incorporated it into their structural design. After a couple of iterations, they produced a detailed quote that we agreed to.
We had attempted to provide them all of the details needed, but they apparently underestimated the work required to excavate the existing gate post. Feeling badly about this, we pitched in to help with extra tools and hands. The Pacific guys didn't complain, and the installation went smoothly after the excavation was complete. The finished product is really, really nice! We were really impressed with Pacific's ability at all stages of the project, and all of their people were just great to work with.

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.
