Will a carport add value to your home?

Thinking about ways to improve the value of your home without spending the earth? A carport could be a great option.

But what is a carport and how can it add value to your house?

What is a carport?

Carports are a covered structure used to offer protection to cars. Because they don’t have walls, the open and accessible space makes it easy to park your vehicle underneath.

Commonly, carports are attached to the side of your house – but can act as a separate freestanding structure depending on your tastes. Great for providing protection, carports are perfect for those who can’t afford or don’t have planning permission to build a garage.

Giving your cars shelter from the weather, they’ll save you time spent on de-icing during the winter months, and keep you dry as you make your way from your car into your home. And during the summer months, carports will also keep your car cool – giving you a more comfortable journey.

For those that live near trees, carports will also protect your car from any fallen branches and bird mess – keeping it safe, clean and shiny.

In some cases, the added protection from carports can also help reduce your insurance costs – giving you long-term cost-saving benefits.

Does a carport add value to your home?

Generally, carports will increase the value of your home – but perhaps not in the way that you were expecting.

Adding a carport doesn’t automatically raise the value of your home. But, if done right they are the ideal home improvements that can make your home more desirable to potential buyers. All without breaking the bank.

Many homeowners are adding carports to their property – even if they already have a garage. Available in a wide range of styles, sizes and shapes – carports compliment any home and can also accommodate an extensive range of vehicles, including boats!

And because they’re a separate structure to your house, carports can be constructed without changing or altering your home – perfect!

Relatively cheap and easy to build, carports are an easy way to add extra benefit and value to your home, without having to conduct lengthy, expensive or disrupting renovations.
