Car Ports

What it takes

Part of the house, not bolted to it.

A car port is the first thing anyone sees. Done badly it reads as an add-on forever; done well it looks like it was always meant to be there.

We design it to the house, put it on footings sized for the span, and finish the driveway underneath so the whole frontage reads as one piece.

  • Footings sized for the span and the wind
  • Detailed to match the house, not just to cover a car
  • Driveway and drainage finished with it

Scope

What we take on.

Covered car ports

Roofed structures tied into the house line, with drainage taken away properly.

Open frame covers

Lighter structures for shade and shelter where a full roof is not wanted.

Steel, timber and concrete

The frame material chosen for the span, the look and the exposure.

Driveway extensions

Paving and base to carry vehicle loads, set out with the car port.

Lighting and power

Run in during the build for lighting and vehicle charging.

Drainage

Roof and surface water dealt with rather than dumped at the footings.

Common Questions

The things people ask us first.

Do I need a permit?
Usually, yes. Size, height and setbacks all matter. We check and file it in-house.
Can it match my house?
That is the point. We detail the structure and finishes to the existing elevation.
Can you add EV charging?
Yes, and it is much cheaper to run the power during the build than to retrofit it.
