Q: How long does it take to build a wooden carport?

• <div><p>Most wooden carports take 3-7 days to construct, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions.</p></div>

Q: Do you need planning permission for a carport?

• <div><p>In many cases, yes, you&rsquo;ll need building permits for a carport. The exact laws and regulations depend on where you live, but generally speaking, you&rsquo;ll need a building permit for any carport that will be permanently affixed to the ground. Premade carports sometimes don&rsquo;t require planning permission or permits, but standalone and attached carports usually do. We recommend you contact your local building department to find out before beginning any carport project.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a garage and a carport?

• <div><p>Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage. </p></div>

Q: What is the best lumber for building?

• <div><p>The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. </p></div>

Q: What is the best base for a carport?

• <div><p>Poured concrete is one of the best bases for a carport. You'll get one of the biggest bangs for your buck with concrete, thanks to its durability. At the same time, if concrete isn't in your budget, it might not be the best base for your installation. Dirt foundations, gravel foundations, and permeable pavers work in a crunch and can be long-lasting without the higher price tag of poured concrete.</p></div>

Hi, I'm Don. I'm just moving back to the Omaha area from Virgina. I have many skills in my tool belt. However, the best ones are: sheds/fencing/ decks/repairs and new builds. Also, all types of laminate flooring including tile. Painting (interior/exterior) Also, bath and kitchen remodeling, cabinets. I can also do minor electrical, installing new lighting/microwave, hoodranges and minor plumbing toilets/faucets/ Sillcock (hose Bibb). In short, my prices are great and most times can't be beat, solely due to the fact that I'm a small company and crew of 2. I also have hundreds of pictures of my work with reference of that work. So give me a call today and we'll get started right away! (Free Estimates)
