"Paul did an excellent job and the floor looks amazing. He also did the lip of the garage entry in a solid which looks really nice. When he finished everything was like he was never there. I highly recommend McKay Coating Systems!"

"Couldn't be happier with this company. From Amy's first visit through completion of two porches, the service was superb. The only glitch was the weather. It rained the day the service was scheduled, but Amy worked with me to get the work completed as soon as possible. The installers were courteous, friendly, and very helpful in explaining their work. They left the property clean and I love the look of the product."

"Chad was the best! He listened to what I wanted and did that. He did not try to talk me into something else, ever. I felt comfortable with him being in my house when I was not home. I know he did not overcharge - I'm old and think everything is expensive (that's why I gave one 4 star rating.). If you hire Chad to do a job, you will not be disappointed at all!"

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.
