Your best answer would be to get some estimates from local builders for extending the carport. They will be able to tell you if it can be done and how it can be done. Get a few different estimates rather than just one. Once you do that then you can look at the cost of a metal garage building and make your price comparisons. You will also have to take into consideration any foundation and floor costs plus electrical.

Here's some info on your project with prices:

Select Carports > double carports, also Metal Garages > 2 car garages

It can be rather costly, depending on many factors. The first thing I would do is check with local municipality for permits and zoning. You will need to make sure you are clear with the roofline to extend out. How far will it be from the property line is another consideration. Can you match the materials or get something that will co ordinate is another.

At the least, get a price for a building and then you will have something to compare.

you could enclose it as a one car garage cheaper than adding on to make a two car garage here is some info for you https://www.angieslist.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-convert-carport-garage.htm

I agree with Kathy. Better check building codes and see what you are able to do. Also check with your homeowners insurer. They can not insure it and even cancel your policy.

Hello Jessica,

Why not get some prices from suppliers and see what works out best for you! You never know it could work out cheaper than you expect.

It can be very costly or cost nothing at all it depends on u I'm very resourcefull so I go to acabnet shop that throws away a lot of amazing wood & get it or to our local hardware store & buy there oops wood if it is what I need for half price so if u want to inclose it u will need a foundation unless u leave it dirt u can go back & use gravel for ur floor cement is not cheap so u need 2x4 to make ur frame u no what Google it or look it up on utube & they will tell u every detail

The metal building would be cheaper and portable and you won't need a building permit for it and your taxes won't go up

It would be much cheaper to buy a metal garage building.

A metal garage building will be a lot less expensive. You’d need construction permits, architect drawings, new foundations or slabs poured, and likely a contractor to build out a two car garage.

The answer varies greatly- best to get estimates from people in your area!
