I was noticing a few days ago a bee coming and going from a hole where the brick mortar meets the aluminum siding ceiling of my porch. Did a little reading about this and after some research, was surprised to learn about carpenter Bees. I read that they chew holes in wood for nesting. ...

I would like to have an overhang built over my front door/windows similar to the pic attached. We currently just have a flat roof with galvanized steel over our window and the paint is peeling. If anyone has any recommendations for Toronto would appreciate it. Roofing companies won't do this work.
