Steel Utility Buildings
JM Carports utility buildings are a unique two-in-one structure that combines a covered carport section with an enclosed storage building attached to the back. Available in 12 and 14-gauge steel with your choice of regular, boxed eave, or vertical roof style, these structures are fully customizable in size, door placement, window locations, and color to fit any residential or commercial property.
Our steel utility buildings provide covered vehicle parking and enclosed storage in a single structure that costs less than building them separately. We serve Riverside, CA, and ship to all 48 contiguous states with straightforward ordering and professional installation included.
The Best of Both Structures
What makes a utility building different from a standard carport or shed is the combination of both in one connected structure. The front section provides an open covered area for vehicles, equipment, or outdoor workspace. The rear section is a fully enclosed building for secure storage of tools or supplies. You get the functionality of two structures on a single footprint at a single price.
Built for Residential & Commercial Use
Utility buildings from JM Carports work equally well on residential and commercial properties throughout Riverside, CA, and the Inland Empire. Homeowners use them to protect a vehicle while keeping lawn equipment, tools, and seasonal items organized and enclosed nearby. Small businesses use them to shelter a work vehicle while keeping supplies and inventory in an adjacent secured space on the same property.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a utility building?
A utility building is a structure that combines a covered carport with an enclosed storage building into a single connected unit. The open front section provides covered parking or workspace, while the enclosed rear section functions as a secure storage building. The two sections share a common roof and frame, making the overall structure more cost-effective than purchasing and installing a separate carport and storage building on the same property. JM Carports builds utility buildings in custom sizes to fit any property and application. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and get a free quote.
What sizes are available for utility buildings?
JM Carports utility buildings are available in a wide range of standard and custom sizes. The carport section and enclosed storage section can each be configured to the dimensions that best suit your parking and storage needs. The overall width is up to 40 feet, and the length can be built to any specification. Leg heights are available up to 16 feet for properties that require additional clearance in the carport section for tall vehicles or equipment. Our team will help you determine the right proportions for both sections based on your intended use.
Can the enclosed section be used as a workshop?
Yes. The enclosed rear section of a JM Carports utility building can be configured as a workshop, hobby space, or dedicated work area rather than just a storage room. You can add windows for natural light, a walk-in door for daily access, and size the enclosed section to accommodate your workbench, tools, and equipment. The adjacent carport section provides a covered outdoor workspace that extends the structure’s usable area beyond the enclosed walls.
Do utility buildings require a permit?
Permit requirements vary by city and county throughout the Inland Empire. The enclosed section of a utility building is typically treated the same as any other enclosed structure for permitting purposes, so larger buildings may require a permit depending on your jurisdiction. Before ordering, contact your local building department to confirm what applies to your specific property and structure size. If a permit is required, JM Carports can provide a certified utility building with engineer-stamped plans and proper footing specifications. Call or text 951-776-3993 for details.
How long does it take to receive a utility building?
Lead times vary by zip code and current production schedules. In most cases, delivery and installation are completed within 4 to 6 weeks of order confirmation. JM Carports ships utility buildings to all 48 contiguous states, so regardless of where your property is located, we can coordinate delivery and installation for your project.
