Carport Removal
Junk Removal Service USA removes free-standing carports across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County, including aluminum kit carports, steel-tube canopies, and storm-damaged frames. Carport removal in South Florida typically costs $2 to $6 per square foot, with most jobs between $1,000 and $3,000. Carports attached to the house are part of the building and need a licensed contractor.

What We Don't Do — and Who Does
Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 489.105) reserves demolition of any building or residence for licensed contractors. We stay on the non-building side of that line and refer the rest. How the line works →
- ⚠Carports attached to the house or framed into its roof — part of the residence; licensed contractor
- ⚠The concrete slab or driveway under the carport is quoted separately
- ⚠Any lighting or outlets on the carport — licensed electrician first
How Carport Removal Works
- 1
Photos and dimensions
Length, width, and whether any part touches the house. That decides whether it's our job or a contractor's.
- 2
Roof panels first
Panels are unscrewed and stacked; gutters and fascia come off.
- 3
Frame and posts
Beams are unbolted and lowered; posts are pulled or cut at grade and anchors ground flush.
- 4
Recycle
Aluminum and steel go straight to scrap recycling — most of a carport is recyclable.
What Carport Removal Costs in South Florida
$2–$6 per sq ft
Removal and disposal usually total $1,000 to $3,000; the top end is when the slab comes out too.
What moves the price
- •Footprint — a single-car cover vs. a double RV canopy
- •Aluminum is light and fast; heavy steel tube takes longer
- •Storm damage that has twisted the frame
- •Whether the slab is removed
- •Access for lowering long roof panels

A free-standing carport is an accessory structure; removing one is generally not a permitted act, though a permitted carport may need a filing to close out its permit — we ask your building department first. A carport attached to the house is part of the residence under Florida law, so its demolition is a licensed contractor's permit.
Miami-Dade County
Detached accessory structure removal is generally unpermitted; attached carports fall under partial demolition of an attached structure, a permitted category.

Your municipality decides; a free-standing carport removal does not meet Broward's definition of demolition for the SRRA.
Official source ↗Palm Beach County
Unincorporated areas follow the county's demolition bulletin; a free-standing carport is treated as an accessory structure removal.
