 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Johnary and his crew are the best ever!  They are profession, kind, meticulous and left the job site spotless.  The shipping time passed before I knew it and it was installed in ONE DAY!  Josh was so meticulous, he wiped down the entire structure at the end and left it supper clean and shiny new.   I chose white and I love it.  My car has been rescued from the hot Texas summer blast.  Amazing at the difference.  Like I said before,  I love it!

Johnary and his crew did a fantastic job on our carport! We had a challenging space to work with and his crew not only made it work-they made it beautiful. And they cleaned up their work area completely. We HIGHLY recommend Patio Doctor!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really appreciate John and his crew. I had an old patio removed to be replaced as we had a water leak. John found the issue, capped everything off as it was a drainage system that was apparently incomplete.  The experience, communication, and trust are definite factors in repeat use of any contractor.  1-2 weeks later I had John and the crew pour a foundation for a storage shed I had ordered.  They got it done in a single day with excellent results. I highly recommend based on craftsmanship, communication, and comparable honest pricing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finally, a construction company that delivered what they promised without breaking my trust or my wallet. I cannot express the relief knowing this job was done correctly on time and on budget. It met all my requirements and the city of Plano’s. My wife and I had been looking for several years to have the driveway replaced. We could never find a company to perform the work either because it was “too” small of a job or they had questionable review ratings. I will not spend money if there is any question whether the job will not be completed successfully to my standards. I grew up working summers for my uncle’s construction company. I am also an engineer. I can tell if work has been “gun decked”; a naval term for cutting corners. I will do without rather than take on new problems. I noticed my neighbor was in the process of having his driveway replaced. Viewing the installation impressed me. The driveway had been removed. The crew had already laid the sand foundation and were tying the rebar into place.  It was evident to me they had the skills and knowledge to perform their jobs correctly since it was the way I had been taught. I spoke with the crew about the tasks they were performing and why they were doing it a certain way. Texas clay is the worst ground you can build on. I grew up in Michigan where there is excellent topsoil that is anywhere from 9 to 24 inches deep. Construction methods are different here due to the poor soil conditions. The crew were friendly during my interactions and then provided me their company name. I went home and began investigating the company for reviews, complaints, and BBB ratings. Next step was to call the company for a consultation. John the owner immediately returned my call and was over my house the next day to discuss my construction requirements. With my due diligence completed I provided all information to my wife for discussion.  She spoke with John herself, and a date was set to replace our driveway the following week. Patio Doctor handled all of Plano’s permits and inspections. All activities, from getting paperwork approved by the city to the completion of work were seamless to me. I did not participate in any conversations regarding issues that occurred. Patio Doctor took responsibility for them; they sought solutions and implemented them. This is a task for which they get paid.  They delivered outstandingly. Our driveway has been completed, and we are elated with the work performed. Due to the relationship, we have built with John, we have approved of an agreement to have his company install a custom-built carport next spring. Our neighbor had one installed recently, and it is stunning in its design and craftmanship.  We look forward to our installation. Patio Doctor is a company that is fair and equitable in its business practices; engage them. You owe it to yourself to include them in your due diligence for having construction work performed. One more metric can be a game changer in your decision-making process. I will add that laying cement requires true craftmanship. There are so many variables that need to be formulated for it to be installed correctly. This is the reason you need a “seasoned” expert. These installations are too expensive for subpar work. Thank you, John and crew, for your outstanding workmanship and excellent results.

Johnary and crew did a great professional job installing concrete footings and an elevated slab for a hot tub, and installed a beautiful carport cover over the area. The results are outstanding and we couldn’t be happier.  Definitely recommend. 👍👍

These guys work commercially as well as residentially. John, the owner as well as his crew are super honest,  personable, friendly and very professional. I dare say we made a group of new friends! ❤️ Oh, they speak English as well as Spanish. They went above and beyond to ensure what we wanted to perfection 💯- they even offered ideas. When I say they went above and beyond, I mean to the point of actually moving excess dirt to low spots in my yard without me even having to ask. I did mention that I wanted the extra dirt for this purpose, but they took it upon themselves to do it for us, wow. That's Excellent customer service. They did a Fabulous job from start to finish, even addressed our concerns regarding slipping as we age as well as our pets concerns, so they meet those needs as well. Many contractors require up to 50% of cost  upfront to pay for supplies. If you write a check, it's better as they don't get charged credit card fees, but they do accept credit cards as well. The greatness of this team is beyond words!! I Highly recommend you give them a call when you need or want a job done right the 1st time. John even told us to help prevent cracking, spray new concrete down for several days, Awesome as we did not know this. Their prices are great too and they work highly efficient. I even recommended my neighbor and within a few days, his projects was done and he loves it too! These guys will always have any future business with us for certain! Thank you John and Team!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏

Questions?
We've Got Answers.

Find answers to common questions before getting started.

Do I need a permit to install a carport?

It depends on your city’s building codes and the size or location of the structure. Some municipalities, like Dallas, generally don’t require permits for detached carports under 200 sq ft., but the structure must still meet setback, easement, and structural requirements. Patio Doctor offers turnkey permitting service, including engineered plans if needed, making the process fully compliant and hassle-free.

Do I need HOA approval for a carport?

Many homeowners associations require approval for exterior structures, even if a city permit isn’t needed. Patio Doctor offers supporting HOA documentation and plan-preparation services to assist with your submission. Reviewing HOA guidelines early helps avoid delays or compliance issues.

How long does installation take?

Installation depends on carport size and permitting. Single-car carports are typically completed in one day, while double or triple structures can take 1–2 days, depending on site conditions and any custom work. If permitting is required, this typically adds one to two days, since work cannot continue until the city completes required inspections. Once inspections pass, Patio Doctor completes the installation.

What site preparation is required?

Carports are installed on concrete footings, so the area must be clear, level, and accessible for equipment and materials. Patio Doctor handles site evaluation and coordinates any necessary grading, leveling, or prep, ensuring the structure is properly anchored and stable. Proper preparation is essential for durability, safety, and a smooth installation process.

Can carports be customized to fit my property?

Yes, our Japanese aluminum carports are highly customizable. They can be adjusted in width, length, height, and roof pitch, with options for gutter placement, panel type, and other layout preferences. Patio Doctor performs on-site refabrication as needed to ensure a precise fit while maintaining engineered strength and structural integrity.

What kind of maintenance is required?

What sets our Japanese aluminum carports apart from traditional wood or steel carports is that they are maintenance-free. The anodized, aluminum frame resists rust and corrosion, while the UV-protective polycarbonate roof panels provide durable protection from sun, rain, and hail. Typical cleaning may be done to keep your carport looking sharp and at its best.

How durable are these carports?

Our Japanese aluminum carports are built for long‑term durability and weather resistance. The anodized extruded aluminum frame resists rust and corrosion, and UV‑protective polycarbonate panels shield vehicles from sun, rain, and hail. These premium aluminum carports are designed to last for decades, far outperforming wood or standard steel alternatives.
