Changing Carport Into Garage. If the carport is wooden, be sure to thoroughly inspect the following: Adding a new carport to your existing house will cost you between $8,000 and $10,000 on average.
Can a neighbour convert a carport to a garage without planning permission? A garage that uses brick walls and similar type of roof as the house will be more costly. The price increases when high grade materials, such as premium flooring, are used.
In situations where the ceiling height is less than 2.4m, raising the roof is often the only option as the concrete slab of a garage floor can be both costly and difficult to remove.
Transforming a carport into a garage, with no foundation, will cost between $9,000 and $13,000. Start at one corner of the carport, measure 60 cm (2 foot) intervals along the walls. Just run some walls around the concrete slab of your carport and suddenly you have a garage. The simple truth is that a garage adds far more value to your home than a carport.
