"We hired Lou after we were unable to hire any subcontractors on our own and are glad we did. Lou gave us a bid up front, scheduled all the subcontractors, made sure our home was cleaned up every day as we were living in it during the remodel, met every contractor and supervised their work, resolved any scheduling problems that came up and made this remodeling job very smooth for us. It could be very inconvenient to have both your bathrooms remodeled at once, but Lou and Jesse kept their eye on things, made sure the subcontractors finished on a timely basis and cut costs for us when they could. We couldn't have asked for a better result. We love both bathrooms as well the as outdoor kitchen area they tiled and installed a new countertop in. Everything looks great! Thanks Lou!!"

"PLEASE READ. DO NOT USE SMITH CUSTOM HOMES! WE TERMINATED CONTRACT & SHARE OUR STORY SO NO OTHER FAMILY HAS SAME EXPERIENCE. SCH used bait & switch tactics & misrepresentation to sell what they couldn't deliver. We signed in 7/22, and as of 8/23, still hadn't broken ground. SCH made promises & was unable to meet any of them, to the point that our loan was 2 months from being pulled due to NO evidence of construction. We expect SCH may respond w/ excuses & attempt to refute our claims, but we have texts, & email that defend our position. Since contracting, they're are other posts w/ same experiences. READ ON before making a decision w/ this builder: 1. We looked forward to working w/ SCH following their "Pathway to Your Dream Home" orientation session. SCH promised to quote use great attention to quality, value, & customer satisfaction. However, within 3mths of contracting, we saw red flags. SCH promoted a team of a designer, concierge, & project manager who would support every step of the way. A month in, our concierge left & we would cycle through 6 others within 10mths, all of whom SCH explained as having poor communication skills or poor follow-up w/ clients. We began to question SCH's ability to hire quality employees. THEN suddenly, the admin assistant & project manager were gone, and by the end, SCH was acting as concierge , designer, and project manager. 2. It took 9mths to get stamped plans, w/ SCH repeatedly saying it was the architect's fault & giving excuses for the delays. 3. We were given a checklist of items that had to be completed (select countertops, cabinets, garage/front doors, etc.). To our dismay, we experienced that SCH had no established vendors who would work with them. We spent many hours w/ vendors making window, door, and interior selections, only to realize that quotes would never be returned and SCH would have us trying multiple other vendors. Once again, SCH made excuses as to why we had to change or why the process was delayed. In our frustration, we sought out vendor ourselves, just to keep the process moving. 4. Most troubling, as the financial aspect were haunting. When we contracted, we were told we would have an accounting of expenses and assumed our deposit (in excess of $100k) would be used to pay for materials in our home. After 13mths in this agonizing relationship, the only thing we have to show for our time are completed plans that we cannot own & a permitting process that was 95% complete, which ironically seemed to move faster after we notified SCH that the lender was threatening to pull our loan due to no evidence of construction. 5. After seeing there was no ability to deliver in a reasonable and a timely manner, we requested to end our relationship amicably. Recognizing that SCH incurred cost, we wanted to be fair and only requested 1/2 our deposit, given there was NO construction or deliverables other than home plans, and no accounting of monies spent. We tried to negotiate terms that would lead both parties on the best path forward. Had SCH been willing to return 1/2 of our deposit, he could have redeemed himself by doing the right thing. And said, he kept our entire deposit and took an innocent intention of us wanting amicable separation and twisted it into something as ugly as accusing us of extortion after we said we would share our experience so this couldn't happen to others. Given that we gave SCH over $100K of our life savings and received NOTHING of value, we're shocked at how we could be accused of extortion. 6. SCH purports to be a CHRISTIAN company and SCH includes a bible verse in his signature line. Do not let this fool you. In working with him, we felt he was too emotional and simply not professional. As a previous posting mentioned, consider yourself warned. Review multiple sites including posting by prior employees. Research count..."

"The first red flag is representing himself as Steve Perez on Angi’s list when in fact his name is Ziv. There’s the hard sell and false promises (finish a kitchen remodel in 5-6 weeks) when it took 4 months. Unprofessionalism is an understatement. He communicates through texting like a teenager and screams at the client when in fact errors are his fault or his sub-contractors. We provided appliance specs very early in the process and the electrician still made errors for which Ziv wanted us to pay for. The cabinets delivered were incomplete which he blamed on us. He demanded a final payment and threatened to put a lean on our house when the work was incomplete per the contract. Then Subs starting calling demanding payment which was resolved after we provided cashed checks to Sonart Construction. Don’t believe what I say. Read the BBB review complaints for a well-deserved F rating."

We pride ourselves with our years of experience, and knowledge of garage door sales, installation, and repair work. With our licensed and experienced technicians, you are guaranteed to get the best quality service.
"I sent a message via Angies List to a group of potential service companies and got an almost immediate response from Keith. After talking over the phone he indicated what the issue might be and asked me to send him photos of the problem to his cell phone so he could confirm. He explained that the issue was a quick fix to put a retaining bracket in place but that there may be other underlying issues that would need to be addressed which they would only know once they came out to the house to look at the problem. I set up an appointment with Jason for the following day and he texted me when he was en route and arrived right on time. He confirmed the problem and said he could fix it, then gave me some other issues that I should consider. I liked the fact that he was fine with just doing the basic fix and there was no pressure to do the extra work, just recommendations. I decided to resolve the issues properly and spent the extra money to replace some quite old springs and end pieces. Everything works great now. Jason was very professional and personable and a quick worker, I would definitely hire again."

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.
