100% Satisfied! ATTENTION ANYONE WITH A ROOF-MOUNTED AWNING! I tried for years to get a roof-mounted awning replaced on my home. No awning company would touch it for fear of causing leaks. I decided to do it myself, and hopefully, my experience can help others in the same situation. I want to start with the fact that dealing with General Awnings was a great experience. I ordered a custom-sized awning and it arrived in pristine condition within two weeks. The build quality is great and the assembly was super easy. To solve my mounting problem I visited a local metal fabrication shop. I first measured the angle of my roof, then calculated what angle would give me a vertical surface to mount my awning to. I purchased a 6" aluminum plate and had it cut to the width of my awning. They then bent 2" of it to the angle that I provided them. It cost me around 50 dollars. I secured the 4" section under the row of shingles nearest to above my exterior wall. This gave me a solid vertical plate to mount my new awning to without worrying about roof leaks. My new awning has been up for about six months now, and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend General Awnings for their quality and ease of assembly for even the most basic of DIY enthusiasts.
