How Much do Carports Cost?

Home / Blog / How Much do Carports Cost?

A carport is an excellent addition to any Adelaide home. It can be used to house your vehicle(s), and carports also serve as an outdoor entertaining area and workspace. Carports provide a great alternative to entirely investing in the cost of building an entire garage and adding substantial value to your home.

If you are concerned about the cost of building a carport, below are a few things to consider that can affect the price. Here at Aldinga Home Improvements, we offer a wide range of carports to suit your specific needs and every budget.

Carport Kit or Custom Structure

First, decide whether you want a carport kit or a custom structure. You can pick up a low-cost carport kit. However, the styles and colours are limited, and the quality is often compromised.

It is essential to keep in mind that these kits only include the materials needed. There is still the matter of preparing the site, council fees, and labour for the assembly.

We offer custom-structured carports. These structures are considered more of an investment and provide absolute freedom in deciding your dream design and colour scheme. It is impossible to give an expected price range here as each structure is customised to our client's needs and wants.

Additional Costs

Site Preparation 

The amount of site preparation needed will depend on where you would like your carport situated and the foundations you already have in place. If the land is steep or uneven, consider the associated excavation costs.

Most people choose a concrete slab as it is a suitable foundation for the carport and associated vehicles. Concrete is also an excellent surface for preventing puddles from forming in the parking area.

Other flooring options include tiles, gravel, bricks, and packed dirt.

Council fees

Most states require a building permit or approval to establish a carport on your property. Ensuring the correct permissions before beginning is essential.

At Aldi, council fees often include the price of building your carnage Home Improvements. We care for everything for you, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Installation 

DIY kits come with detailed instructions about how to assemble your kit carport. However, don't expect to be able to make it alone; you will need a capable assistant.

If you hire a tradesperson, you must ensure they are licenced and qualified to do the job. As trades can often be expensive, it is suggested that you check out references from the trade's previous clients to make sure you're getting your money's worth. We are a well-established business with over 30 years in the industry, offering warranties for all our work.

At Aldinga Home Improvements, our tradespeople are fully licenced and qualified to help you achieve all your home improvement goals to the highest standard.
