ordering was easy, but its been almost 3wks and zero communication since we placed our deposit. We do understand LT can be long, but to hear something would be nice.

It took 3 months after I ordered before I got my carport,
The crew that did it was drinking bush beer as they worked while the supervisor sat in his truck, my ground was not completely level so the supervisor said it would cost me $350 more for his guys to level it.
I'm still picking up screws off my driveway that the supervisor said they will use the magnet and make sure to get them all, well they did not.
otherwise it was okay

Terry,

I am horrified to learn this! That is absolutely unacceptable behavior and I will be sure their employer is notified immediately so the crew can be is appropriately disciplined.

Thank you very much for bring this matter to our attention so it can be addressed!

Ordering online was great

Ordering online was great. Customer service from Carolina Carports is poor. Ordered our carport March 16th. They have scheduled twice and never showed. Showed up once at 8:30 at night and wanted us to bring it to the house as they couldn't drive up driveway. Driveway is asphalt. None of them spoke English. Call every week and they say they will call back and never do.

We appreciate you sharing your experience. We are concerned to hear about the scheduling and communication issues you faced. I will be reaching out via email to see how I can help.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Bad communication

When I finalized my contract by sending photos on 3/27/26. I was told that they were 6 to 8 weeks out for my area and I would be called a week before they came. It's now 5/28/26 and I called this morning and was referred to a scheduling agent
The agent said that it would at the soonest be after June 22nd. This will make my permit expire for the second time and I will have to reapply and pay over $300 again. This just isn't good business. You should have an agent in contact with your customers on a regular basis letting them know the status of their order.

Mr. Warren,

We were so very disappointed to learn this has happened. Unfortunately the builder doesn't provide us with any scheduling details and we had no idea you were waiting, or that the projected date would cause your permit to expire until now.

We will be reaching out to the builder on your behalf immediately and seeing what we can do to assist. You will be included on that email as well, so you can see their direct update as quickly as possible.

Warmest Regards,
Suzie

Very simple process

Very simple process. A little daunting at “checkout” due to the lack of confirmation on everything, felt like I was placing an Amazon order or something. But, as soon as you do checkout, you receive a personalized email amongst a few others which rest me at ease. Best pricing for the quality and very courteous staff!

Great Experience

I planned and ordered my building on-line. It was easy and smooth transaction. After ordering the communication from Alan’s Representatives was AWSOME.

I priced my building through other building sellers, including local and could find none cheaper. I would order another building from them again. Of course that depends on the finished product after being delivered and installed.
