The dormer could be metal as long as the window in front of the antenna is glass. The antenna must be aimed at the transmitters for best results.

It's probably just easier to put it on the roof as normal, even if it doesn't look that great.

If the antenna is outside, the coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge which will tend to discourage a strike, but the system will not survive a direct strike.

I can't give you a guarantee, but your report indicates it will work. However, the report does not include the trees in its computer simulation.
Maybe you can come back later and tell us how it went, on this same thread.
Good luck and best regards,
