New metal roof for a front porch

September 9, 2013 by Thomas Petrilli

We finished this last week. You can read about the material here: https://www.lyonscontracting.com/roof-repair-roof-learning-center/the-last-tin-roof/

This is an addition to the rear of an existing house; which sadly means that once again all my beautiful work is seen by no one except the owner.
