Shield your vehicle from Pacific Northwest weather with a carport from Tony's Roofcare. Durable and stylish, our carports enhance your Tacoma property.

Is the relentless Pacific Northwest weather taking a toll on your vehicle? A carport can provide the protection your car deserves while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your Tacoma property. At Tony's Roofcare, we specialize in constructing durable and stylish carports tailored to your specific needs.


Why Choose a Carport?

  • Vehicle Protection: A carport safeguards your vehicle from the elements. Rain, snow, hail, and harmful UV rays can cause significant damage to your car's paint, interior, and overall condition.
  • Increased Property Value: A well-designed carport can enhance your home's curb appeal and potentially increase its value.
  • Additional Storage: Carports offer versatile storage space for not just your vehicle but also bikes, lawn equipment, or outdoor furniture.
  • Cost-Effective: Compared to a full garage, a carport is a more affordable option without sacrificing protection.


The Tony's Roofcare Difference

At Tony's Roofcare, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. When you choose us for your carport project, you can expect:

  • Expert Installation: Our skilled team guarantees a professional and efficient installation process.
  • Unmatched Customer Service: We are committed to providing exceptional customer service throughout your project.


Carport Materials: Making the Right Choice

The choice of materials for your carport significantly impacts its appearance, durability, and cost. Here are some popular options:

  • Metal Carports: Known for their strength, durability, and low maintenance, metal carports are a popular choice. They come in various styles and colors to suit your preferences.
  • Wood Carports: Offering a classic and rustic look, wood carports can add warmth and character to your property. However, they require regular maintenance to prevent rot and insect damage.
  • Vinyl Carports: Low maintenance and affordable, vinyl carports provide a clean and modern look. They are resistant to weather damage and require minimal upkeep.


Carport Permits and Regulations in Tacoma

Before starting your carport project, it's essential to familiarize yourself with local building codes and permit requirements in Tacoma. Tony's Roofcare can assist you with the permitting process to ensure compliance and avoid potential issues.

Maintenance Tips for Your Carport


To prolong the life of your carport, follow these simple maintenance tips:

  • Regular Cleaning: Remove debris and leaves to prevent damage to the roof and structure.
  • Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for signs of wear and tear, such as loose screws, damaged panels, or rust.
  • Proper Drainage: Ensure water drains away from the carport to prevent pooling and foundation issues.


Investing in a carport is a wise decision that protects your vehicle, enhances your property, and provides additional storage space. Let Tony's Roofcare be your partner in creating the perfect carport for your Tacoma home. Contact us today for a free consultation and quote.

Thinking about a new roof? It’s a significant investment and one of the first questions homeowners ask Tony’s Roofcare, Inc. is, “ How much does a new roof cost ?” We understand that budgeting is crucial for any project as large as a new roof. While providing an exact figure is impossible without a personalized assessment, we can offer a general overview of what goes into the costs for a new roof. What Factors Influence Roof Costs? Before we dive into pricing information, it’s important to understand the factors that will impact the final price: The size of your roof. The complexity of your roof. This includes multiple levels, dormers, intricate designs and more. The roofing materials you choose. Homeowners have the option of asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile and wood shakes and all have varying price points. The cost of labor. These costs vary based on your location and the experience your roofing contractor brings to the table. Underlayment and flashing. You will want to invest in quality materials and ensure proper installation because these are essential for a long-lasting roof for your investment. Removal and disposal of old roofing materials adds to the overall cost of the project. A difficult to access roof may increase labor costs. Addressing underlying issues like damaged decking or framing will add to the cost of the roof replacement. General cost ranges – keep in mind these are ever-changing and are only averages Asphalt shingles are the most common and affordable option. For an “average-sized” home the costs could begin at around $10,000. Metal roofs are the most durable and long-lasting option and are becoming more popular in recent years. The cost for an “average-home” size for a metal roof could begin at around $18,000. Tile or slate roofing is a premium option; these materials are great for historic buildings or homes concerned about moisture problems. These are the most expensive option and for an “average-sized” home the starting costs would be around $25,000. What are other considerations for a new roof? Any of the price options are rough estimates. Actual costs vary and depend on your roof, its condition, the roofing material you choose, where you live and other factors. Get more than one quote from a reputable roofing contractor. If the prices are vastly different ask for an explanation on the differences. Don’t shop for the lowest price for your roof. Consider the roofing contractor’s experience and reputation. Because a roof is such a significant expense, you want to get the absolute best. Inquire about warranties. Remember, a low price could sometimes mean low quality work or materials, and that could cost you more to fix in the future. Your roof is your home’s protection from the outside elements and you want the best protection your budget allows.
