Carport Installation For Solar, Shade and Storage

Carport installation by the same team who designed it.

Most contractors hand off carport installation to regional subcontractors. That’s where timelines slip and accountability disappears. That’s not how we work at Baja Carports.

We design, engineer and install carports, all under one roof. Our crews self-perform every step of every project, from foundation designs, to the final bolt and beyond. One team. One standard. One point of contact from start to finish.

Why in-house installation matters for your solar and shade carports

Steel bolts icon
Pre-fabricated for speed

Structures arrive on-site, engineered to our specs and fabricated from American steel. Bolted connections mean no field welding, fewer inspections and faster assembly.

Construction site icon
Phased for minimal disruption

Whether your site is under construction or in operation, you can’t shut down for carport construction. We stage equipment miles away and complete work in phases to keep things moving.

Checklist icon
Built to spec

Every structure is built to the engineering drawings, full stop. All installations comply with AISI S100 standards and local municipal codes. Steel members are galvanized per ASTM A653 with minimum G60 or G90 coating.

Licensed to work anywhere

As a general contractor licensed to work in all 50 states, we’ll bring our expertise to you. No regional subcontractors. No handoffs. Just smoother, faster installation.

Building with the right materials to meet the right standards.

We use pre-galvanized, cold-rolled light-gauge, high-tensile steel or structural steel, depending on your specific engineering requirements. All materials are fabricated and erected in accordance with manufacturer recommendations to meet local and state codes.
