I have a customer a just did large kitchen addition for. She now wants a custom overhang for over her side kitchen door. All I have to go buy is a picture from a Lowes flier from a paint add.
The overhang has a slight curve to it (like a quarter pipe or a ski jump) and is covered in metal roofing.
I have called all over for a metal roofing suppliers and none stock it or now much about it.
With the ribs does the curve have to be customed rolled or can screwing it down to curved rafters curve it without kinking it. Also, it is better to put the metal roofing down on plywood or furring strips. I am thinking furring strips so there wont be large areas of metal in contact with the plywood. Dont want it to rust from the under side.
Normally I wouldnt even take this job but this customer has had 2 new baths and a brand new kitchen addition done from me so I said I will do it.
Also it is a very small overhang. 4' wide and 2' off the house. Will metal that short have much give to it?
Does anyone know of any metal rooinf suppliers in Ct.
