Carport Storm Damage Repair and Replacement: How Mr. Handyman Can Restore Your Property

Carports serve as an essential shield for vehicles, protecting them from the elements, including harsh sunlight, rain, hail, and snow. However, when severe storms strike, carports often bear the brunt of the damage. From strong winds tearing off panels to hail denting metal structures and fallen debris compromising stability, storm-damaged carports can become a safety hazard and require immediate attention.

At Mr. Handyman, we specialize in storm damage repair and carport replacements, ensuring that your structure is safe, functional, and ready to protect your vehicles once again.

Common Types of Carport Storm Damage

Storms can leave a carport in disrepair in multiple ways, and understanding the type of damage helps determine whether repair or full replacement is necessary. Here are some of the most common issues caused by storms:

1. Wind Damage

• Strong winds can bend or warp metal carport frames, weakening the structure.
• Panels may be ripped away or dislodged, leaving vehicles exposed.
• Anchors and bolts may become loose or dislodged, making the structure unstable.

2. Hail Damage

• Hail can dent metal carport roofs and panels, reducing durability.
• Heavy hail impact may crack or weaken fiberglass or polycarbonate roofing panels.
• Excessive hail damage can lead to compromised structural integrity.

3. Fallen Tree or Debris Damage

• Branches and other storm debris can puncture roofing panels or cause partial collapse.
• Heavy debris impact may lead to bent or broken support beams.
• If a tree has fallen on the structure, it may require total replacement.

4. Flood and Water Damage

• Water pooling around the carport’s base can erode the foundation or loosen anchors.
• Wooden carports may suffer from rotting, mold, or mildew buildup due to excessive moisture.
• Poor drainage can lead to puddle formation, weakening the support posts.

5. Roof Leaks and Sealant Failure

• Heavy rain can cause leaks in older or improperly sealed carports.
• Improper drainage may result in water pooling on the roof, leading to sagging.
• A compromised roof allows moisture penetration, leading to rust and corrosion in metal structures.
