Converting a carport
Can you convert a stick carport into a motor home carport? Attached to the side of house? The roof would be taller than the house roof.

Sheri Gomez on Nov 29, 2015We tried to add a carport for my truck and the problem we had is when you attach it to the house you need permits and plans and the cost goes way up!! Call your local building dept and ask them, they will tell you what you can and cannot do before you get started. Hope this helps!Helpful Reply
