Can a Metal Carport Increase your Home Value?

For homes without a garage, a carport is an alternative option with many benefits. Whether you’re thinking of adding one to shelter your vehicles or you’re simply looking for ways to add value to your home before selling, a carport is a wise investment. If you’re searching for companies that install metal carports in NC and beyond, consider the experts at VMS and Concrete, also known as Vega Metal Structures.  

Adding a Metal Carport to your Home Offers Many Benefits 

1. Increase your home’s value. Yes, adding a metal carport will increase the value of your home. This means you can increase your asking price when listing your home and you may get more interest and better offers from potential buyers.  
2. Protect your vehicles from weather damage. A metal carport protects your vehicle from weather that can be damaging such as heavy rain, snow, and especially hail. Hail damage is extremely costly to repair, and depending on the type of auto insurance you have, it may not be covered. And of course, if it is covered, there is always the insurance deductible that must be satisfied.  
3. Add storage space to your home. A metal carport offers additional outdoor storage for bicycles, ATVs, sporting equipment, RVs, motorcycles, and whatever else you may want to protect from the weather.  
4. Less expensive than a garage. You will find that a metal carport is a much more affordable addition than a closed-in garage. When attempting to increase the value of your home with improvements, you can spend less and still get back more in resale value. However, if a 4-wall garage is what you prefer, a metal garage is an affordable alternative to wood or brick.  
5. Low Maintenance. There isn’t much upkeep necessary for metal carports in NC, partly due to the relatively mild climate. Your carport may need an occasional pressure wash, but otherwise, it should simply do its job to shelter your vehicles.  
6. Versatility. A carport can double as a picnic shelter, an overflow space for entertaining, an outdoor play area that’s sheltered from the rain, a workshop or crafting spot, and much more.  

The numerous benefits outweigh the cost of metal carports as well as other metal buildings. They are a valuable addition to any home, both in current use and resale.
