Considering a Carport to Add Value to Your Home? Here’s what you need to know.

Thinking about adding a carport to your home? You’re not the only one, and for good reason. 

A well-designed carport doesn’t just protect your vehicle, it can add significant value to your home, enhance street appeal, and even provide extra usable space. Whether you’re after a sleek modern structure or something more practical and durable, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Carports are a popular choice across the Coffs Coast, offering everyday functionality with a custom finish. Whether you’re building new or upgrading your existing setup, we take the guesswork out of the process.

At Roofing Matters, we’re not just roofers. We offer holistic building solutions, including carports. And while roofing is our specialty, we’ve applied our craftsmanship and construction knowledge to carport projects all over the Coffs Coast, we are carport builders.

Here’s what you need to know before getting started.

Why Build a Carport?

Carports are a smart investment for many reasons:

• Protection from the elements: Your vehicle stays safe from UV, rain, hail, and debris.
• Added property value: A well-built carport can boost your home’s resale value.
• Extra covered space: Use it as a shaded outdoor area or for extra storage.
• DA flexibility: Some carports can be built without needing a Development Application (DA), depending on your site.

Our Process: What to Expect

From your first enquiry to the final bolt tightened, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how we work:

On-Site Inspection

We start with a site visit. This helps us assess your space, check boundary specs and provide practical advice. We’ll also let you know whether a Development Application (DA) is needed. If so, we can guide you through the process.

Planning and Design

We take your vision and bring it to life with the help of advanced design software through Lysaght Living. Whether you’re after a simple freestanding carport or a custom structure integrated with your home, we walk you through your options and help you choose what works best for your needs and budget.

You’ll receive detailed drawings and a custom plan to review before work begins. These modular designs mean faster build times and a neater finish without compromising on quality.

Choose Your Roof: Manual or Electric Opening Roofs

Consider upgrading your carport with an opening roof system. We offer both manual and electric opening roofs, with stylish Venetian or concertina-style options available. These are perfect if you want airflow, natural light, and the flexibility to enjoy your space no matter the weather.

Built with Quality in Mind

As experienced roofers and construction professionals, we understand the materials and techniques that deliver long-term performance. Every carport we build is:

• Engineered for durability
• Custom-fit for your home and site
• Backed by trusted brands like Lysaght
• Built with premium finishes and expert workmanship

Just like our roofing projects, we don’t cut corners on quality. Our carport builders deliver projects that not only look great but are built to stand the test of time.

What Makes Us Different?

There are plenty of carport builders out there, but very few with the roofing experience and attention to detail that we bring to the table. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Holistic service: We can manage the whole process, from design to build.
• Clear communication: You know exactly what’s happening and when.
• Trusted local expertise: We have worked on thousands of homes on the Coffs Coast.
• Custom approach: No cookie-cutter builds. Your carport is designed just for you.
