Time to store it correctly, and get familiar with it

Before anything gets installed, take a moment to look it over. Snap a few photos of the delivery, see our handling and care documents that require storing and unboxing in a clean dry space.

Need some extra material? Hardware? Flashing?

If you’re short a detail or two — just give us a shout. We often have accessories on hand or can steer you to the right supplier. The goal is a clean install, not a cobbled-together compromise.

Reach out to DMD for filler, flashing and other miscellaneous metal needs
