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>

Q: Do constructions include permits?

• <div><p>Many providers assist with obtaining necessary permits. Confirm with your contractor.</p></div>

Q: How much does lumber cost?

• <div><p>Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices. </p></div>

Q: Do home builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor&rsquo;s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to confirm that the builder you&rsquo;re considering holds all the proper licenses.</p></div>

Q: Does pallet wood hold up outdoors?

• <div><p>Pallet wood can withstand all kinds of outdoor weather conditions, which is part of why pallet fences are so appealing to DIY-ers. You can weatherproof the wood further before you paint or stain it, as well. Pallet fences are low-cost, easy to install, and can withstand sun and rain exposure without rotting.</p></div>
