Generate Additional Income: In most multi-housing applications, owners and managers charge between $30 and $50 per car space per month. This translates to a 30% or better return on investment.

Increase and Maintain Occupancy: Multi-housing professionals use our commercial carports to increase occupancy, remain competitive, and utilize their parking lot to produce additional income.

Offer Assigned Parking: For fewer tenant disputes and parking complaints.

Convenience: Metal carports save time on snow and ice removal during the winter, and keep you dry while loading and unloading during rain and snow. In addition, a covered car remains cooler than one exposed to the sun during the summer months.

Protecting Investments: Automobiles are often one of the largest investments people make (next to the purchase of a home). It makes complete sense to provide protection from elements such as sun and acid rain.
