You’d usually want a wood surface on top of the door opening to nail frame and trim to. Because it’s not load bearing a cross stud would be enough as opposed to a proper header.

Something like this:

What options do we have for flat roofs these days? Assuming not 90s tar style, it's what, rubber, fibreglass, anything else?

On residential side of things you now see SIPs and green roofs.

Maybe you could get one of those stair cars from the airport as well? They should probably have a few spares now and would solve your house problem in style.

Just watch out for hop-ons.
