"We recently worked with Metacom to add a mudroom/laundry room onto our house, and I can honestly say the experience was phenomenal. Chris, his brother Derrick, and the entire Metacom team were always pleasant, flexible, and easygoing. As we all know, dealing with contractors nowadays can often be a pain... if you're able to even get in touch with them in the first place, that is. Chris was incredibly responsive throughout the planning and construction process - he made us feel comfortable reaching out with questions/concerns at basically any hour of the day, and would always reply quickly. I cannot say enough good things about Metacom. Hire them with confidence for any of your home projects. You will not be disappointed!"

Many municipalities require building permits for carport-to-garage conversions, costing between $1,200 and $2,000. These permits help ensure your project complies with local building codes and safety standards. If you hire a contractor, they often handle the permit application process. Check with your local building department early in your planning phase to understand specific requirements in your area.
Converting a carport to a garage provides practical benefits like weather protection, enhanced security, and additional storage, but may not significantly increase your home's market value relative to the construction expense. The value added depends largely on your local real estate market, neighborhood standards, and the quality of the conversion. While buyers often prefer enclosed garages to carports, the conversion cost may not be fully reflected in your home's selling price.
The timeline for converting a carport into a garage varies based on project complexity, material availability, and contractor scheduling. Factors that may extend the project include concrete foundation repairs, custom features, electrical work, and permit approval processes. Weather conditions can also impact construction schedules, particularly for projects involving concrete work or exterior finishing.
While some homeowners with construction experience may handle certain aspects of a carport conversion themselves, most should engage professionals for critical structural, electrical, and mechanical elements. DIY approaches might reduce expenses, as labor represents 60% of total project costs. However, proper structural framing, electrical installation, and garage door systems require specialized knowledge to ensure safety and code compliance.
