The Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) has announced two winners of its Best Residential Metal Roofing competition for the first quarter of 2026.
Beautifully complex: Crowning touch on a Utah home
A show-stopping roof located in Promontory, Utah, has been chosen as a top winner of the Metal Roofing Alliance’s (MRA) Best Residential Metal Roofing Project competition for the first quarter of 2026.
Manufactured by MRA member Drexel Metals and installed by VIOTELL Roofing Solutions, the roofing system for this 9,290-m2 (10,000-sf) home is designed to perform in Utah’s demanding climate, which includes heavy snow loads, harsh winters, and intense summer sun exposure. In addition to long-term durability, the metal roof offers low maintenance, sustainability benefits, and improved energy efficiency, all typical of premium residential metal roofing systems.
Major wow factor: A beyond-impressive copper roof
The word “impressive” doesn’t begin to describe one of the winning entries of Metal Roofing Alliance’s (MRA) Best Residential Metal Roofing Project competition for the first quarter of 2026. That’s what the judges had to say about a breathtaking copper roof installation on a home in Possum Kingdom, Texas, located about two hours outside of Fort Worth.
Originally, the home had a Galvalume standing seam roof that had been damaged by hail. When the current homeowner purchased the property, he decided he wanted to replace the roofing system entirely with copper, including the gutters and downspouts on all three structures–the house, guest house and boat garage. Massive in scale, the homeowner chose Metal Master Roofing to spearhead the project. The company handled all the prep work and partnered with its long-time sub, Copper Masters in Fort Worth, on the installation. M&C Seamless Gutters installed the copper gutters and downspouts.
