If you’re hoping to keep the sun from beating up your car’s paint job all day, a custom built carport in Houston is exactly what you need.
A well-designed carport protects your vehicles and other valuables from harsh Texas sun, rain, hail, and occasional winter weather, and it does it without looking like a bolt-on, temporary structure. At HHI Patio Covers, our custom carport builders design and build carports that seamlessly integrate with your home’s architecture. We match rooflines, columns, trim, and finishes so your carport looks like it’s always been part of your home, not a metal kit added later. Carports offer an excellent return on investment, and we bring the same level of design expertise and craftsmanship to every carport project we build. Call our team today to get an estimate.
Why Choose a Custom Built Carport (Instead of a Prefab Kit)?
Online kits and low-cost metal carports might look appealing at first glance, but they often fall short when it comes to long-term durability, curb appeal and property value. A custom built carport from HHI Patio Covers is designed specifically for your home and lifestyle.
Several key benefits of a quality, custom carport include:
Protection from the Elements
Shield your vehicles from UV rays, sun fade, rain and hail to help preserve the finish and extend the life of your car, truck, SUV, boat or RV.
Increased Property Value
A well-designed, permanent carport that matches your home can enhance the overall value and curb appeal of your property far more than a temporary-looking structure.
Additional Usable Space
Custom carports can double as covered outdoor areas — a shaded workshop, a spot for kids to play, or overflow space for outdoor gatherings.
Quality Materials & Construction
We use durable, weather-resistant materials and proven construction methods so your carport stands up to Houston’s heat, humidity and storms for years to come.
When you invest in a custom built carport in Houston, you’re not just buying shelter — you’re improving your home

Designed to Blend Seamlessly With Your Home
One of the biggest differences between HHI and many other custom carport builders in Houston is how seriously we take architectural integration. Every carport we build is designed to:
- Match your roofline: Gable, hip, or combinations that flow with your existing structure
- Coordinate materials: Shingles, siding, brick, stone and trim that complement your home
- Align columns and details: Column style, beam sizes and decorative touches that feel intentional
- Tie into existing structures: Detached garages, breezeways or patio covers
The result is a carport that looks like it was part of the original home design and a true extension of your house, not an afterthought.

Carport Layouts & Possibilities
Because every project is custom, we can design a carport that fits your lot, driveway and daily routine. Common configurations include:
- Single or double carports attached to the side or front of the home
- Carports for L-shaped driveways, designed around your existing layout
- Carports connecting home and detached garage, creating a dry, shaded walkway
- Carports with attached storage for tools, lawn equipment or hobbies
- Extended-height carports for trucks, boats or RVs
- Carport and patio cover combinations, where vehicle protection and outdoor living space work together
If you can envision it, our team can design a custom built carport to make it happen.

Our Custom Carport Design & Build Process
With outdoor projects, the process matters just as much as the end result. HHI has been building custom outdoor structures in Houston since 1981, and our carport projects follow a clear, homeowner-friendly process.
1. Consultation & Site Visit
We start by visiting your home to evaluate driveway layout, setbacks, existing rooflines and any HOA or city requirements. We’ll talk through how many vehicles you need to cover and how you plan to use the space.
2. Custom Design
Our team designs a custom built carport tailored to your home, including roof style, columns, materials and any extra features like lighting or storage.
3. Permits & Approvals
We handle permitting and HOA submissions across the Houston area, including:
Houston, Katy, Cypress, Tomball, Bellaire, Spring, Sugar Land, Humble, Montgomery, The Woodlands.
4. Construction
Our experienced crews build the carport with the same level of care and craftsmanship we bring to patio covers and outdoor living projects, keeping the worksite clean and minimizing disruption to your daily routine.

We inspect the structure with you, verify all details, and make sure your vehicles fit comfortably and safely under their new cover.

Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Carports
How is a custom built carport better than a carport kit?
Carport kits are typically one-size-fits-all and can look out of place next to your home. A custom built carport is engineered specifically for your property, matched to your home’s design, and constructed with higher-quality materials. That means better curb appeal, better performance in Houston weather and better long-term value.
Can you design a carport that matches my house?
Yes. Matching your existing home construction is one of HHI’s core promises — from rooflines and columns to finishes and trim, we design your carport to blend seamlessly with your home.
Do you offer carports with storage?
We often build carports with attached storage rooms or sheds for tools, lawn equipment and hobby gear. Several of our recent projects include fully integrated storage spaces that share the same roof and exterior finish as the carport.
What does a custom carport project typically cost?
Investment varies depending on size, materials and layout, but most homeowners in the Houston area choose custom carports as a long-term upgrade rather than a temporary solution. Our team can provide a clear, detailed estimate after your on-site consultation.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. HHI Patio Covers offers 100% financing options, making it easier to protect your vehicles and upgrade your home now while paying over time.
