A carport that doesn't look like one.
Structural glass on a powder-coated aluminum frame, built to the exact run of the driveway in the color and finish you'd choose for the house. The protection of a garage. The architecture of a glass canopy. Permits handled by a NYC DOB-licensed builder.
An off-the-shelf carport looks like one. This was built for the house.
The owner had two cars and a driveway that ran the length of the lot — clean concrete, fenced privacy on one side, the house on the other. The problem wasn't space. It was every metal carport kit on the market. Trailer-park silhouette, painted-pole legs, corrugated plastic roof — the kind of structure that drops the value of the house it's attached to.
The ask, in one line: protect the cars the way a garage would, without making the driveway look like a parking lot.
Custom everything. That's the whole point.
A standard carport ships in a box. This one is engineered from your driveway dimensions, anchored to your slab, finished in the powder coat you'd choose for the trim of the house itself. Three things make it work.
Built to your dimensions
Measured to the exact run of the driveway and the height of the house. No oversized overhang. No awkward leftover gap to the wall. The structure fits like it was always there.
Custom color & finish
Powder-coated aluminum in any RAL color — matte black, anthracite, bronze, or matched to the window frames of the house. Sealed against UV, salt air, and NYC winters.
Structural glass roof
Laminated safety glass on the structural roof — graded for snow and wind load. The protection of a solid roof, the visual lightness of an open canopy. The driveway never feels boxed in.
Built once. Built right.
Thermally broken aluminum frame, anchored into the slab at engineered points. Laminated structural glass — graded for snow load and rated to fail safely. Concealed drainage routed through the structural beams so meltwater leaves the carport without running down the cars. NYC DOB-licensed contractor handles the permit from filing to final inspection. Twenty years of NYC builds behind every job.
