"Tyler and Bodi did a fantastic job on our basement remodel! It was our first time ever working with contractors and they made the process a breeze. Even before booking, Tyler made trips to the village hall to understand the specific codes within my area. The remodel included complete framing, electrical upgrades, plumbing rework, drywall, flooring, and install of an egress window. They were flexible with our timeline, communicated well, and kept in mind aesthetics as well as functionality. We were always comfortable with them being in our home and they tolerated our very annoying dog well. We are so happy with how the basement turned out. Thank you thank you!"

"I have had some experience already with Art Young construction from a friend & knew I could trust him & he would do a great job. They are trustworthy, timely, work fast with quality results & professional. My shed looks new & the deck privacy fence looks amazing & exactly what I wanted. For the deck all I did was show him a few pictures from Pinterest & asked can you do something like this? He said yes & they did not disappoint & I love it. I highly recommend them!"

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.
