Re: opinions needed on improving front view of house 3Jul 23, 2009 10:17 am Hard to see from such a small photo but perhaps renovate the carport to be more sympathetic with the house? Perhaps gabled roof and wood posts to match possible wooden window frames etc etc ?? Re: opinions needed on improving front view of house 4Jul 23, 2009 10:29 am If you want to minimise money spent, adding a pergola to attach the carport to the house may help make it seem more cohesive without the cost of re-roofing. Also painting the carport's fascias and gutters to match your house roof would help. However, I would expect building a lockup garage would add more value to your property in total than rendering your exterior or changing out window frames.
