One Texas home wows the judges and wins Metal Roofing Alliance’s (MRA) Best Residential Metal Roofing Project of Q1 for 2026! 

Each quarter, Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) presents awards to outstanding residential metal roofing projects that stand out against the rest. For Q1 of this year, MRA gave special recognition to the work of Metal Master Roofing out of Texas, for their work on a copper masterpiece. 

The homeowners wanted to replace their existing galvalume standing seam roof after experiencing storm damage. Of course, their replacement wouldn’t be just any material – they wanted to upgrade in style with a copper roof! Metal Masters Roofing was up for the challenge, enlisting the help of Copper Masters and M&C Seamless Gutters to bring this vision to life.  

Though supply chain issues proved difficult over the course of the project, stretching the timeline, they saw it through and finished the job with stunning results. Philip Miller of Metal Master Roofing shared with MRA, “This is the largest copper metal roof we’ve installed in the 45 years we’ve been in business.”  

What started as a unique challenge turned into an even more worthwhile result; a happy homeowner, stunning visuals and a major accomplishment under the team’s belt! Now, there’s a Best Residential Metal Roofing Project Award added to the list, too! 

Though the awards have been announced for Q1, there’s still time to nominate residential metal roofing projects for Q2! Open to U.S. and Canada, homeowners and industry professionals are encouraged to enter the competition!
