Converted carport owners

If your enclosed carport has become a home office, a game room, or a storage workshop that actually gets used, you already know the problem: it never got the insulation or the ductwork the rest of the house did. That means it needs its own comfort plan built from scratch, not a band-aid.

The flat rate

One number, materials and labor together

Standard day
$2,400
Materials and labor, installed. Six days a week sit at this rate.
Joker day
Lower, every week
One day a week costs less. It moves weekly, revealed on the homepage.

$400 materials deposit books your day. The balance is due when the work is finished and you're happy with it. Anything outside a standard install is quoted before work begins, never discovered after.

For this room

Converted carport owners

A carport enclosure usually inherits a slab floor and a metal roof, neither of which does much to keep out Texas heat. The walls and ceiling often miss the insulation that the original house has, and there is no existing ductwork anywhere nearby to tap into. So the space runs hotter than you expect, and the rest of the house's AC system simply cannot reach it. The answer is a dedicated ductless mini split system, sized to that one room and installed with its own line set.

We install the whole system at a flat rate of $2,400 for materials and labor together. One day each week is Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate, and that day moves week to week so the exact price is always shown on our homepage. To hold the day on your calendar, we take a $400 materials deposit, and the remaining balance is due only when the work is finished. No hourly guessing, no surprise line items.

For sizing, we use the rule of thumb for the square footage and ceiling height, then confirm it with an on-site visit before we commit. That way the mini split you get matches what the carport actually needs, not a number pulled from thin air. If you are tired of the room feeling like an oven in July, give us a call and we can walk through the details.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

How do you know what size mini split my converted carport needs?

We start with the standard rule of thumb based on the room's square footage and ceiling height, but we do not promise a specific size until we see the space in person. The on-site visit lets us check insulation, roof overhang, windows, and how the carport was enclosed, so the final sizing is confirmed before any installation happens.

What exactly does the $2,400 flat rate cover?

It covers the mini split unit, all materials like line sets and mounting hardware, and the labor to install the system. There are no separate charges for the crew's time or for running the lines. The only additional number on your invoice is the $400 deposit you paid upfront, which is credited toward the total.

Can I use a Joker Day discount for my carport project?

Yes, the Joker Day price applies to standard installations like this one. The exact Joker price changes each week and is posted on our homepage, so that is the best place to see what this week's lower rate will be. Once you see it, call us to book that day and your $400 deposit holds it.

Will the crew need to tear into my existing ductwork?

No, a ductless mini split runs its own small line set through an exterior wall, so there is no tapping into old ducts. That is what makes it a good fit for a carport that has no ductwork at all. We just need access to run the lines and a spot for the indoor unit.

Do I need to worry about the concrete slab floor making the install harder?

A slab floor does not complicate the install, but it does affect comfort, which is why we confirm sizing on site. Mini splits condition the air directly in the room, so they handle a slab and metal roof well as long as the capacity matches the heat load. The on-site visit makes sure that happens.
