Carports

Carports built for Northwest weather

Cover for cars, boats and RVs, with high-clearance builds for trailers. A smart and affordable alternative to building a full garage.

A roof over the vehicle, without building a garage

A garage asks for a foundation, framing, a door and a long build before it shelters a single car. A carport skips to the part that does the work, which is the roof. Action Installations describes it as a smart and affordable alternative to building a full garage, and that is the honest pitch: the cover goes up over the spot where you already park, and the rest of the driveway stays just as it was.

Puget Sound weather is the reason to do it. Rain arrives most of the year, snow and wind show up in winter, and summer sun fades whatever spent the spring wet. Cars, boats and RVs take the same abuse when they sit in the open, and a solid cover keeps most of it off them, including the rust, fading and wear that build up on a vehicle left outside year after year.

Sized for what you actually park

A sedan and a travel trailer are not the same job. For everyday cars the cover is a straightforward span over the pad. For an RV or a trailer, Action Installations builds custom high-clearance structures, because a standard roof height leaves tall rigs sitting under the edge of it. The height gets worked out against the tallest thing you plan to put underneath, not guessed from a catalog.

RVs and trailers are big investments, and the damage they collect is slow: falling branches, constant moisture and sun damage. A high-clearance carport keeps that off so the rig is ready to roll when you are. Boats get the same treatment, covered through the wet months instead of collecting rain in the cockpit, and the plan can allow for more than one vehicle if the property has the room.

The space under a carport keeps working after the vehicles leave. Customers use theirs as a covered workspace for projects, as extra storage, or as a secondary garage. It is an easy way to add usable space and value to the property without putting up a second building, and the cover means a weekend project does not stop when the sky opens.

Built to be the last one you buy

Action Installations has been installing carports since 1992, and the family's stated goal is a carport you never have to replace. Materials are chosen for heavy snow, high winds and rain, and every structure carries a lifetime guarantee that holds for as long as you own the home.

The crew is licensed, bonded and insured, and most installs take one to two days, so the driveway is not a job site for long. The finished carport sits clean against the property, whether that is a home in Kirkland or anywhere else across the Puget Sound. The estimate is free and held at your place, with sample pieces to look at before anything is ordered.

What parks under it

Most owners start with one vehicle in mind and end up using the whole footprint. If you also want a covered deck, the same crew builds patio covers in glass, polycarbonate, aluminum and insulated roofs.
