As a multi-year Super Service Award Winner, at Fred C Johnson Garage Doors, we offer the kind of personalized service that is rarely seen today. We are a family owned and operated company with fully knowledgeable and professional staff of technicians. Although we sell and install Clopay Garage Doors, CHI Overhead Doors and Liftmaster Garage Openers, we do service and repair all other makes and models of garage doors and opening devices. We also stock one of the largest selections of garage door parts, springs, cables and replacement parts in Maryland. Family owned & operated. Additional DBAs - Maryland Door, Fred C Johnson Co Inc. Award winning.
"Over 15 years they have installed 3 new garage doors, repaired springs in old garage doors, serviced motors and belts. EVERY time, the products and service were impeccable. What REALLY has stood out is customer service. Over 15 years, I have probably called 8-10 times with "problems" with a power door. Every time, the receptionist would try to "solve" my problem. If she didn't feel competent, she would get a tech, manager, or owner to "walk" me thru the "problem". 80-90% of the problems could be fixed quickly and easily with a little step-by-step advice. Once, they determined over the phone that a 10+ year old lift had a broken part. I asked to schedule a service call/repair. The owner said, " I'd be happy to schedule a repair, but you already have removed the part and have it in your hand. If you want to stop by and purchase the part, you can save the "service call charge". This made this a very reasonably priced repair. Many installation companies count on "service" as a good portion of their income stream."

"Absolutely Phenomenal Service – Beyond 5 Stars! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Hiring Gilmer to install my garage door opener was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made for my home. From the moment they arrived, it was clear I was dealing with a professional — punctual, polite, and prepared for anything. But wait, there’s more! He even cleaned up better than it was before he arrived, took the time to walk me through every feature and made sure everything was whisper-quiet and smooth. I swear, my garage door now opens like a luxury car door — effortless. Bottom line: if you’re even thinking about hiring someone for a garage door opener install, stop what you’re doing and call Señor Door Tec, LLC right now. A+++ experience from start to finish!"

"This was our second time using Diaz for our painting and home renovations. Once again he and his team did an amazing job. For this job, we had Diaz paint our hallway and master, redo our stairs and stair railing, re-finish and stain the hardwood floors, remove old baseboard heaters, and do a complete renovation of our upstairs bathroom (new paint, new floors, new vanity, new toilet, new lighting, new exhaust fan, etc.). He also helped haul out old furniture, removed an old (non-functional) oil gas tank from the basement, and replaced a broken storm door. One of the great things about working with Diaz is that the answer is always yes. His team is more than just painters - he has skilled craftsmen, workers with expertise in plumbing and electric, and everything else. There is no need to deal with anyone else. If you need something done in (or around) your house Diaz either can do it or has a guy. After contacting Diaz, he came right out for a free estimate. He listened carefully to what we wanted but also made a number of important suggestions to improve the results. Each day his team was hard at work - they were trustworthy and courteous, and cleaned up perfectly each day. Diaz goes the extra mile to make things convenient - including hauling away trash/junk, recommending a local showroom, and picking up materials that we had ordered for the job. As with any major project, there were a few bumps in the road. But Diaz worked through the curveballs with good communication. They finished on-time and on budget, and the results were perfect. If you’re looking for versatility, reliability, attention to detail, and overall excellence, then Diaz is your man ."

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.
