ROOFING COMPETITION
A show-stopping roof located in Promontory, Utah has been 
chosen as a top winner of 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 
10,000 square-foot 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 provides 
low-maintenance performance, sustainability benefits and 
improved energy efficiency typical of premium residential 
metal roofing systems.

#2: MAJOR WOW FACTOR:  A BEYOND-IMPRESSIVE 
COPPER ROOF IS A WINNER OF MRA’S BEST RESIDENTIAL 
METAL ROOFING PROJECT COMPETITION FOR Q-1 2026
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 Possuum 
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.

association’s 40th anniversary. ORCA President, Fred Horner, 
welcomed attendees for a great night of food, fellowship and 
games at the BrewKettle’s sports suites. In addition to the fun, 
members and future members received information on Ohio’s 
new E-Verify Law compliance; the ORCA Workers Compensation 
Group Rating Program; the Commercial Roofing Licensing 
Bill; and the Private Prompt Pay and Private Retainage Reform 
initiatives. 
The MRCA/ORCA Service Summit being held in Columbus this April 
received a lot of attention as did MRCA’s HAWT and CERTA training 
programs. The new Leadership Summit format received rave 
reviews as business cards flew to request additional information! 
MRCA is a sponsor of the ORCA Regional Meeting series and 
congratulates the association on their 40th Anniversary! Cheers 
to many more!
