Designing Roof Overhangs for Arizona Heat Starts With Framing

Overhangs are not decorative—they’re functional.

• Reduce solar heat gain

• Protect windows and finishes

• Improve energy efficiency

Overhangs added late rarely perform as intended. Framed correctly from day one, they’re one of the smartest design investments a homeowner can make.
