Maintenance:
Maintenance for carports is fairly simple. One must check once a month for structural damage, clean regularly and perhaps consider repainting it.
Cost-Effective
Building a carport is usually thousands of dollars less expensive than building a garage and can be installed within days.
Home Value:
Well-built carports can increase the value of your home a 3%-5%. Of course it depends on things such as the design, how well maintained and built is.
