Carports Engineered to Outlast the Storm That Took the Last One
Aluminum carports, covered parking, and outdoor structures built by a licensed contractor. Permitted so they pass inspection, anchored so they survive the next hurricane season.

Half the carports in Charlotte County have already failed once
Hurricane Ian made the point brutally: a carport that isn't engineered and anchored to wind code is just future debris. If you're replacing one, or protecting vehicles that spend every summer under Florida sun and every June under storm watch, the question for any carport builder is simple: show me the engineering, and show me the permit.
Sosnin Builders has built 88 carports across Southwest Florida, many of them post-Ian rebuilds in Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and North Port. Every one is permitted, wind-load engineered, and anchored per the calculations. It's the same discipline we bring to whole homes, applied to the structure you use every single day.
And because carports rarely fail alone, we handle the connected exterior work in the same scope: fascia, soffit, gutters, and siding. One contractor, one quote, one accountable finish.
What we build and repair
Aluminum carports & covered parking
Single, double, and RV-height structures with engineered posts, beams, and roof panels, sized for your vehicles and your lot.
Wind-load anchoring that passes inspection
Footings, straps, and connections installed per the engineering. That's the difference between a permitted structure and an insurance dispute waiting to happen.
Fascia, soffit, gutters & siding
The exterior envelope work that storms chew up, repaired or replaced in the same mobilization and matched to your home.
Hurricane rebuilds & storm repair
Full teardown-and-rebuild of storm-damaged carports and structures, with documentation that supports your insurance claim.
Utility & specialty structures
Covered walkways, equipment covers, and porte-cochères: engineered aluminum structures beyond the standard carport.
Why a licensed builder for a carport?
Because the county requires it, your insurer expects it, and the wind doesn't care who did the work. A carport is a permitted wind-load structure in Florida; building one under a Certified Residential Contractor license (CRC1333975) means real engineering, real inspections, and a structure your policy actually covers.
Our carport clients say it best in the Angi reviews: quotes "detailed down to the caulking," crews that show up on time, and finished work that made them rehire us for the next project. Bridget M.'s carport, fascia, soffit, and siding job is a five-star example of exactly this scope.

Asked before every project like yours.
Yes. In Charlotte and Sarasota counties a carport is a permitted structure that requires wind-load engineering and inspection. Skipping the permit risks fines, forced removal, and denied insurance claims. We pull the permit and manage the inspections on every build.
The drivers are size and height, roof panel type, the anchoring your site requires, and any attached work like gutters or fascia. After measuring your site we give you one complete written quote. Engineering, permit, structure, and cleanup are all in it, with nothing left vague.
Site work is fast. Most carports go up in one to three days once the permit is issued and materials are staged. County permitting adds lead time up front, and we'll give you the full realistic schedule in writing before you sign anything.
Yes. Post-Ian rebuilds are some of our most common projects, with five-star reviews to match. We document the damage for your claim, remove the debris, and rebuild to current wind code with upgraded anchoring so you're better protected than before the storm.
We match roof profile, trim, and color to your home, and we can replace tired fascia, soffit, and gutters in the same project so the whole elevation looks intentional, not like an accessory bolted on.
