FAQ
What do I need to send to get started?
Send a sketch with dimensions, the material you want (wood or steel), site photos, and the property address. Message me before ordering so I can confirm scope and what your jurisdiction requires.
How do you find the snow load for my area?
I use the ground snow load for your address from local code, then calculate the roof snow load for your carport or canopy shape. Some cities set their own values, so I’ll check yours.
What’s included in the design?
Snow load calcs, beam, column, and rafter sizing, footing and anchor design, wind uplift and bracing checks, a framing plan, and connection details in permit ready sheets.
Can you design both wood and steel structures?
Yes. I design carports, patio canopies, RV covers, equipment canopies, and entry awnings in wood or steel. Tell me your preferred material, or ask me which is more cost effective for your site.
How long does it take, and are revisions included?
Delivery is 4 to 9 days depending on the package. Standard includes 1 revision and Premium includes 2, for building department comments. Need it faster? Message me before you order.
