Interior design, consulting remodeling Residential remodeling interior spaces Space planning, furniture selections Art, decor, custom window treatments Full service design, consulting company Liscenced and bonded general contractor To take the head ache away from clients And make there dream home a reality. From design phase through construction Completion. Available for weekends or after hr by appointment.
"The beginning of our remodel started out smooth in terms of diagrams and estimates, until it came to actually starting the job. The actual materials he ordered were incorrect both in amount and even type for the job (the subcontractors he hired to actually do the work were short on materials multiple times, completely wrong materials were ordered and used which had to be replaced) pushing the project 2 weeks out. Both myself and the subcontractors had to go out and purchase materials out of our pockets to keep the job going semi smoothly. It seemed almost every day there was an issue. We have a signed contract and signed invoice with balance due...and he tried to charge 4 times what was owed due to "extra materials" and labor that was HIS error, not ours. There was no communication on increase of price throughout the whole project until the final completed day of the job when he handed us the increased invoice asking for payment. He also tried to add mileage/travel time of close to $2,000 due to coming from Port Angeles. If you are in Kitsap County, or anywhere for that matter...there are many reasons, one of which is charging mileage...to not use his services. The quality was great, because he didnt do the actual work...he hired a separate company to do it and they were amazing. If you want a project to not be finished on time, with lack of materials, poor communication and end up being charged THOUSANDS more than agreed/signed upon, this is your guy!"

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.
