Carport/Garage Area Remodeling Project

Carport Additon Project

Our client contacted us to build a protected extension over their driveway thereby enabling them quick access to their home without having to battle the elements. Once we began our calculations, we decided to offer a completed "family room" above the new carport, utilizing this new space to provide additional square footing to their second floor and making it into a family room.

Portacache/carport construction details:

  • Engineered footings for foundation for support
  • steel pipes for posts.
  • Engineered steel I beams for supporting second floor structure
  • Framed construction second floor using Hardie plank siding for the exterior.
  • Recessed canned lights.
