Fiberglass Cupola

 

FRANKLIN: Yeah, I have a cupola on the roof of my garage …

 

LESLIE: OK.

 

FRANKLIN: … and it’s rotting away. I want to know if anyone makes one of these things out of fiberglass or something like that.

 

TOM: Yeah, actually, Franklin, there absolutely is a solution here. There are fiberglass cupolas out there.

 

LESLIE: What size is your cupola, Franklin?

 

FRANKLIN: It’s about 18 inches square, I think.

 

TOM: Oh, so it’s less than two feet. That shouldn’t be too expensive. I think you can get those for probably about 300 or 400 bucks.

 

LESLIE: Yeah, not bad. There’s a company, actually, out of North Carolina, I think – which is a neighbor to you – and they’re called Piedmont Cupola. And they have a two-foot square unit that’s great for garages or storage sheds and they’re about 350 bucks and they’re totally fiberglass. And then if you go and put a little weathervane on top, it’s really cute. (Tom and Leslie chuckle)

 

FRANKLIN: Well, that’s what mine had …

 

LESLIE: Good.

 

FRANKLIN: … and I had to take that down because it was rotting so bad. I had to take that down and just cover it with like a two-foot piece of aluminum square.

 

TOM: Yeah.

 

FRANKLIN: I just put that over the louvered part.

 

TOM: Well, maybe now you can get the fiberglass cupola and put the weathervane back in there.

 

FRANKLIN: OK. Thank you very much.

 

TOM: You’re very welcome. Good luck with that project. Thanks so much for calling us at 1-888-MONEY-PIT.
