CARPORTS, CANOPIES, COVERS
The prices below reflect estimates on what a good handyman will charge you for the following carport and canopy installations. We have not estimated all sizes but do list some common ones. Not all handymen are created equal – do your due diligence and find the right one you can build a relationship with.
We can mail or email you a detailed set of carport installation instructions to show your contractor so he can give you an accurate labor bid before you order your carport.
We design our carport kits for do-it-yourselfers, and as you will see in the instructions they are pretty simple to assemble. Beware of the know-it-all contractor that doesn’t think he needs an instruction manual to install a carport. You would be better off hiring your next door neighbors’ kid to help you, the installation is that easy.
