"Excellent! Professional! Timely! We discovered our garage door opener would not fully open early last Friday morning! So I signed on to Angie's list and searched for a service provider and Global was at the top of my search list and their site showed excellent reviews, so I decided to give them a call. On the first call to Global, I was able to talk to Rob who was the garage door opener expert and the person who came to our house to repair the garage door opener. He was very kind, professional and helpful when I called. He told me he would be out on Friday evening! He kept me informed on his approximate arrival time. Yep! He arrived Friday evening as promised and was very professional and went right to work to figure out the problem. He identified that he needed to replace our torsion spring, however, he did not have the size he needed in his truck. But, he was able to create a temporary solution until he could have a spring made for our door. It didn't take him long to complete the work and within an hour we had a operational garage door opener again. He promised that he would return next week to replace the torsion spring that he would have made. Less than a week later, he returned to our home and replaced the spring! Great work and painless for us! Thanks Rob!"

"Steve & Rick did a great job on our garage floor. We wanted to do it ourselves but couldn't get the oil and dirt stains out. So after searching the internet we found Steve's company. He came out and gave us an estimate which was more than we had planned to spend, but we weren't able to do it ourselves. He was very informative and explained the entire process. After some thought we decided to bite the bullet and go with Floor Guard. Steve invited us to stop by his home and look how his garage turned out with the flooring and cabinets. It was beautiful. Steve gave us an estimate as to when he would be able to come out and complete the job. About a week before he contacted us, and set up the date and time they would be here as well as emailing us with a preparation list for getting the garage ready for their arrival. They were on time and Rick completed the 1st process on Wednesday and Steve came on Thursday to finish things up. Without a doubt it look great. Family and friends that have seen it love how it looks. I am encouraged that they offer a 20 year guarantee for the floor and hope I wouldn?t need to use it. The only regret I have is the I didn't seal off the door from the house to the garage with a plastic sheet. That caused a little more clean up on our part than it would have had we put the plastic up.

"Steven Posner arrived on time and had my two garage door openers back in working order quickly and efficiently. He talked me though what was happening and why. I will ask for Steve should I need someone to work on my garage door openers again."

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.
