What to Ask When Building Your Custom Carport

Do You Offer Customization?

In today’s market, there is no reason to accept a prefabricated carport design when you can easily customize your building to suit your needs perfectly. So, this should be one of the first questions you ask any business offering to create a carport for you. If they can’t meet your customization requests, just move on to the next option. 

Here at Carport Kingdom, customization is at the heart of what we do. You’ll find extensive options, and those options are easy to implement with just a few clicks of your mouse. The result is that you receive a carport you love that will serve you well for years. 

Are Your Buildings Backed by a Warranty?

Although metal carports are impressively affordable, they aren’t free. You’ll be investing some of your hard-earned money in this project, so you want to know that your money is protected should something go wrong with the building. A warranty should be included, as would be the case when you purchase one of our structures featuring 12-guage tubing. Knowing that you have some warranty coverage in place will go a long way toward making you feel good about the purchase of a new carport for your property. 

Is Financing Available?

Again, metal carports are affordable compared to other types of structures, but that doesn’t mean the purchase will fit nicely into your available budget at the moment. To make things work out financially, you’ll want to ask about financing options with the company you are considering. If there is no financing available, it might be hard for you to make this project work anytime soon. Carport Kingdom is proud to work with a variety of lenders to make sure our customers have access to the financing they need to get the project started right away. 

Do I Need a Permit?

Rather than a question to ask your potential carport provider, this is a question that you will need to ask of someone in your local jurisdiction (city or county, perhaps). It’s critical that you find out about any permit requirements early in the project rather than waiting until later on in the job to find out that you need to go back and get permission. Or, even worse, you might get into the job and then learn that you can’t complete the project at all because of code restrictions. 

Since permitting isn’t exactly an enjoyable process, many people put it off and wind up running into trouble later. That’s not the outcome we want for you in this project. Instead, we’d like to see you enjoy the process and wind up with a building that you love, so take care of the red tape as soon as possible. 

Have You Built a Carport Previously?

This might seem like a silly question, but there are many companies out there that would do just about anything to get your business. Even if they haven’t built a carport previously, they might pretend like this is a comfortable job, so be direct – ask clearly if they have built a carport in the past, and ask for pictures and references. 

Of course, given the name of our business, you can imagine that we have built more than a few carports over our history. You won’t have to worry about our experience in this market, and you can be sure that our work on this job will exceed your expectations.
