Ask for a recommendationWhat size carport do I need?+
Start with the widest vehicle, trailer, or equipment and add clearance for doors, mirrors, walkways, turning access, and future use. A single vehicle often starts around 12 to 18 feet wide; two vehicles commonly need 20 to 24 feet.
Which roof style should I choose?+
Standard is the value option for straightforward coverage. Horizontal A-frame adds a more residential roofline. Vertical is commonly considered for longer buildings, tree debris, snow, and stronger runoff performance.
Can a carport cover an RV, boat, or equipment?+
Yes, but height, width, turning access, mirrors, roof AC units, antennas, hitches, and loading clearance must be planned before pricing. Taller or longer uses often need a vertical roof and extra height.
Is delivery and installation included?+
Delivery and installation are included when the site is ready, level, clear, accessible, and suitable for the selected anchoring. Final conditions are confirmed during quoting.
Do I need a permit?+
Permit requirements vary across Northern California by city or county, structure size, placement, foundation, enclosure, wind or snow loads, intended use, and HOA rules. Confirm the local requirements with the applicable building department before ordering or installation. The customer is responsible for permit applications, permit fees, zoning and setback confirmation, and coordinating required inspections with the applicable city or county. Engineering is conditional, not included with every building. If a city, county, HOA, or inspector requests it, Norcal Carports may coordinate available engineering information or a quote from A&A Engineering.
