Some days go smoother than others. Today was the finish line of one of the less smooth days. Our client, Vern, wanted to add a car port to his home to keep his truck safe from hail and out of the sun. First concern was he didn’t want a metal free standing car port. He wanted something that fit the house. That was easy. We sketched up a nice cover finished in siding to match the house and dressed it with some cedar 6x6 and a beam for ascetics ( forgot to mention, Vern is a meticulous trim carpenter, it had to have some nice wood grain showing). Then the real problem…. Despite existing concrete being there, the house is at the edge of the set back to the property line. We helped Vern file for a variance on the set back. The folks at the city of Nevada were super helpful and a pure pleasure to work with. Variance was approved by the city council and work started. End results in the pics. A low slope shed roof helped keep framing cost down, intrusion to house at a minimum, and build time was quick. Finishing with a happy client is the name of the game at the end of the day. Give us a call to see what we can do for you and your house!
