Carport-to-garage conversions that enclose an existing carport with framed walls, a slab, doors and finishes, turning open parking into a secure, weather-tight garage.
Many carports have good bones. If the posts, beams and roof are sound, enclosing the space can give you a garage without starting over. Owners in Nashville convert carports to gain security, storage and a place for a workbench, and the result often looks better than the open structure it replaces.
We start by inspecting the existing framing, footings, slab and roof, because a conversion adds weight and wind load. We plan the new walls, header, door and any needed bracing, add insulation and siding to match the house and plan the slab or floor edges. Permits for conversions are more involved than for open structures, and we guide you through drawings and inspections. Conversions are rewarding when the existing structure is sound. We check the footing size, the post connections and the roof framing before adding walls, then discuss the slab, which may need edge work to meet the new walls. The finished garage can be insulated, wired and painted like any other, and we match siding and trim to the house so the result looks like a single, planned building rather than an enclosed carport.
Footings, posts, beams, slab and roof are checked before walls are added.
New framing, headers and bracing carry added loads and wind.
A garage door or entry door is sized and framed to fit the opening.
Siding, trim, paint and lighting make the garage look like part of the home.
