I have an existing 20 x 22 carport with a "shed" (1 in 12 pitch) roof, quite common in the desert soutwest. The low end is too low to install a double wide door, so the roof has to be jacked up.
Given that the slab is already there, to have the roof raised and a peak put on it for drainage (think dormer with a very shallow pitch) will cost me $5,000. The lumber and bricks to enclose two sides (I can do that myself) is approximately $2,500. To have a door with remote professionally installed is $1,400.
Actually, I have considered a single car garage door out the back instead of a regular hinged door. Adds lots of light when working under the car, not to mention increased leg room!! Rear door would be manual so it could be opened in case of power failure or breakdown of main front door.
