Carports and Covered Parking

Carports and covered parking structures in wood and metal that shield vehicles from sun, hail and rain and blend with the house.

Hail, sun and falling branches are hard on cars. A carport gives vehicles shelter without the cost of a garage, and it can double as a covered play area or a place to park a boat or trailer. Owners around Nashville add carports to driveways, beside garages and at the end of long drives, and well designed ones look like they belong.

Your designer measures the driveway, checks setbacks and plans the size, roof style and materials. The crew sets footings and posts, frames the roof and installs metal, shingle or polycarbonate roofing and gutters. Lighting, storage and side panels can be added. The scope lists structure, roofing, drainage and permit steps, and notes how the carport works with the existing driveway. Roof pitch, drainage off the edge and the size of your largest vehicle all shape the design, so we measure, allow room for doors to open and plan gutters that send water away.

Sized for use

We measure the vehicles and the turning space so doors open fully and the carport is comfortable to use.

Solid structure

Posts, beams and roofs are sized for wind, snow and hail loads and anchored to proper footings.

Roof and style

Metal roofs are durable and quick, and shingles or other materials can match the house. We help you choose.

Drainage

Gutters and grading send water away from the driveway and the foundation of the structure.
