Mike is very professional and detailed. He does quality work. He was patient and polite. Any questions or concerns were answered. Thanks for a job well done.

"Great customer! Took charge of important aspects of the overall project (interior items) which resulted in a garage so beautiful that it's a shame you gotta' park cars in there...."

Mike did an excellent job in both addressing my goals for my carport but in also proposing excellent ideas for the garage siding. My carport was in poor shape when I first reached out to Mike and he was very thoughtful and transparent with what he thought should and could be done. I am really happy with the result and would hire Mike a third time in a heartbeat.

Mike did an awesome job in creating a garage out of our carport. Looks like it was built as part of the original house plans. Thank you Mike on a job well done!! BTW Mike the painting is complete and the cabinets are in if you want to see it give me a call.

"This customer was just about #1 in my experience given their attention to detail, sincere interest in making their already-great house even greater, and their availability to consider options and make timely decisions. Best-looking garage door in Phoenix! Now, how I only received B's in responsiveness, punctuality, and professionalism, I'll never know. But that's not important now!"

We are extremely pleased with Mike's work. When it comes to carport to garage conversions, Mike is undoubtedly the guy to hire! Like his business card says, "Owner/Craftsman". Simply put, Mike is a Master Craftsman! Mike not only is technically adept, he is well travelled, educated, and very personable. Mike's pricing is affordable, fair and reasonable. The quality of work he performs is second-to-none. Mike went above and beyond the call of duty to keep us informed of the project every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mike to anybody out there who has a carport to garage conversion project in mind.

A friend of mine recommended Mike as he recently had his carport enclosed. I called Mike in early December on a Sunday afternoon and he picked answered right away, stating he could be at my place within an hour. An hour later, he stops by and he checks out my carport, gives me an estimate and takes measurements. We agreed on the work, price and gave him $500 to get the permits with the city of Chandler settled. Throughout the process, Mike sent me e-mails and text updates on the status of the permits with full diagrams of all work to get done, all steps, materials, and prices. Normally, working with any sort of government entity takes time. Not with Mike. He showed up to be first in line at the permit office and was able to get the permit pushed through by Thursday. A mere 4 days to get a permit. With permit in hand, he started work on my carport enclosure the same day and worked through the week up until the Holidays and resumed. We paid him 50% upfront of the total price. Even with the Holiday season in full swing, I'd received a text message or e-mail about progress of the work. He thoroughly answered any questions I had and and addressed any concerns I had. He also notified me of any inspection days so I could attend and ask questions of the inspector myself and inspect the quality of his work. All the inspections passed easily with no comments, which is no surprise due to the quality of Mike's work and his experience in doing carport conversions. He has been doing this for a long time, so knows the ins and out of the process. Mike also set us up with a garage door vendor and installer. The entire process was much easier than I expected and the price is hard to beat. The garage is finished, the exterior of the house looks great, and the interior of the garage is perfect for our car and extra storage space.

Mike was great; he is very personable and professional. I got several bids and decided to go with Mike because he really knew what he was talking about and his bid was the best by far. Initially, I wanted a door in the side wall of the garage but I changed my mind. With some contractors, that could have been an issue. Not for Mike. He was very accommodating and he wanted me to have what I wanted. He also suggested two coach lights on the exterior and four can lights on the interior. A great suggestion for sure. I love my new garage. Thanks Mike!

I was with Mike during the project and offered my help on portions of the project. I have worked Habitat for Humanity for 13 years and know quite a lot about construction. I was very impressed with Mike's attention to detail and never cutting corners. His conversions are built to code and he uses good materials. I would highly recommend him for a contractor
Response from Arizona Carport Enclosure Specialists
"It was a great experience to work with [Member Name Removed]. His experience as a carpenter and home builder with Habitat for Humanity (and obviously elsewhere) was instrumental in making this a very successful carport enclosure / garage conversion."

The conversion was done quickly (as predicted) and with good craftsmanship. ACES was professional and communicated well. A few small finish items have required attention to correct in the last year, but all-in-all it was a great experience.

"Pleasure working with [Member Name Removed]. A great garage with great curb appeal."

Arizona Carport Enclosure Specialists did an outstanding job in this conversion. Mike is a very detailed and knowledgeable professional. He handled all of the permitting and inspections on the project from inception to completion. His work is at par with perfection. Mike communicated through all the steps of the job and let us know ahead of time when he would be working on our house. Mike is so knowledgeable on the permits and regulations of garages, he was able to give us many options as to the design and function of our garage all the way down to placement of electrical outlets to be used for Christmas lights! I would highly recommend Arizona Carport Enclosure Specialists for any carport conversions. ~Scott

4-6 weeks. Great work. Also helped add laundry room into garage
Response from Arizona Carport Enclosure Specialists
"This was a great project and the result nicely compliments this beautiful Scottsdale home. The experience was especially rewarding in that the homeowner directly across the street saw me working at this house and subsequently asked me to enclose their carport, too."

"This was a fun project and the homeowner really made my work even better by adding beautiful exterior siding. I love the finished product so much that I actually put before-and-after photos on our business card and website. The homeowner is a true craftsman."

Purchased a home that had a terribly enclosed carport. After initial demo, Mike came in with suggestions and options that I hadn't thought of before. Within a few days and under estimated time he completed the very work very professionally. Even offer to make an additional repair that made the area look significantly better.
