Colo., installed the roof and drainage system. The fabrication of the roof panels was done on-site. “We used a portable break and also did lots of fabrication and bending with hand tools,” presi- dent and owner Greg Mullenax says. “It was a complicated job but a satisfying job.” The owner has been very pleased with the performance of the system and with its appearance.
