MRA Selects Two Winners For Quarterly Best Residential Metal Roofing Project Award

Portland, OR —The Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) announced its selection of two winners for Q3 2025's Best Residential Metal Roofing Project competition. Located at opposite ends of the country, the projects demonstrate the benefits of metal roofing for every region and every season. 

From hurricane to wildfire country, the winning homes are similar only in that they were designed for beauty, longevity and protection from whatever Mother Nature throws at them. For these reasons, metal roofing was the material of choice for these two outstanding projects.

Winning Project #1
Residence in Anna Maria, Florida / Installed by Blue Vision Roofing Inc.

Complexity was the name of the game for this beautiful project, but durability is the end result. Inspired to replace their older metal roof in order to match a newly-built addition, the owners needed no convincing that a new standing seam metal roof was the right choice for their home. Their old roof had withstood multiple hurricanes and was still in good shape after 25 years, so the owners trusted their new Galvalume metal roof would also stand the test of time as well as extreme high winds and hurricanes without issue.

Other benefits of the new metal roof included a low maintenance, concealed fastened standing seam system, which is designed to keep the home protected and prevent rust, given the home is just feet away from the coastline.

The gorgeous silver color and high performance coating also is energy efficient and adds excellent curb appeal. The material was rolled and cut onsite by and expertly installed by Blue Vision Roofing.

“Just like every other home we work on, we brought integrity and honest workmanship to ensure the homeowner was pleased with their new standing seam roof,” said Antonio Plancarte of Blue Vision. “For us, our customers’ vision truly is our mission.”

Winning Project #2
Maple Valley, Washington Reroofing / Installed by Mountaintop Metal Roofing

The second winning project for this quarter’s competition is a master of disguise. The beautiful new roof might look like a traditional wood shake roof that is so prevalent in the Pacific Northwest, but it is much safer and more durable.

The homeowners chose a metal roof to reduce the high maintenance and wildfire dangers that come with a cedar shake roof. With so many angles, valleys and ridges (45 different roof planes in total), this project required serious skill and expertise.

In the end, the owners were thrilled about the longevity, look and fire resistance provided by their new metal roof. 

Manufactured by , the new roof demonstrates the great style flexibility that metal roofing can offer. Called “The Great American Shake,” the metal shingles resemble the look of cedar shake so closely, it takes an expert eye to tell the difference.

“We enjoy every project we do but every now and again you get a special project. This roof was definitely one of our favorite roofs to complete,” said Jon Sanders of Mountaintop Metal Roofing. “It turned out absolutely beautiful and our customers will never have to worry about their roof again.”
