"Francisco Garcia did an excellent job finishing our basement. The work quality is excellent. The communication and flexibility throughout the project was excellent. The project finished on time within budget with zero surprises. Any concerns that arose were addressed expeditiously and professionally. I highly recommend Colorado Paradise Builders for your next project. The building inspections were coordinated by Colorado Paradise Builders and passed easily. We learned while talking to the inspectors that we had a gift by using Francisco as a general contractor. They mentioned other people in the business may not provide the level of customer service and professionalism which Colorado Paradise Builders demonstrated on our basement finishing project. I could not be more enthusiastic with a recommendation."

"Scam company. We have a contract for a porch for nearly $90,000. Weâ ve paid over $45,000 for material and services and only have a $4,000 strip of concrete. They have ghosted us for over three weeks and now will not return any calls. The project was supposed to be well underway by now. When I looked up our property for permit information so I can file a complaint against the contractor license, they havenâ t even filed a permit like they were supposed to. This is a red flag when companies do not file proper permits. Generally, that means they are not licensed to do the work. The company is a nightmare to work with and is not legitimate. They came recommended through Angi and I have no idea how. The companyâ s main branch does not answer phones, nor do they call you back. Avoid this con artist company at all costs or you will be out $10,000â s. Next step is legal action. Update 1: Pikes Peak Regional Building Department confirmed they did not file for a permit and are required to do so before they touch my house. Stop Work Order will be issued against my residence now. Update 2: After some back-and-forth conversations and pleas, we agreed to give them a second chance. Big mistake. After broken promises of doing better, they still can't keep a schedule or coordinate when they will show up. They've been onsite once within a two-week period. All I have now is a beam bolted to my wall. Thier original plan that they were going to build from was denied by the building department; no surprise there. It is a daily game of phone calls and excuses about why they can't show up. Additionally, they leave nails and cigarette butts all over my yard and patio. I honestly think they ran out of money and can't finish my deck. Update 3: Still no deck, no approved permit after months of delays. I have holes in my backyard and material all over my back yard, side yard and front driveway. PPRBC notified of illegal work started without a permit. Update 4: Finally got an approved permit, but no material. They haven't paid their subs and now the builders walked off the job. Police report filed with El Paso County for theft and complaint filed with PPRBD for starting work on our house without a permit."

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.
