The Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) and Metal Coffee Shop have selected a massive metal roofing project that provides the perfect crowning touch for a stunning custom home as the winner of the Best Residential Metal Roofing Project competition for the third quarter of 2023.
The metal roofing installer—Bliss Roofing based in Clackamas, Ore.—completed the award-winning roof on this gorgeous new 8,700 square-foot modern lodge style home in April 2023. The architects for the project had suggested a metal roof to help enhance not only the home’s beautiful exterior, but for the many performance benefits it would provide. The homeowners agreed that a quality metal roof would be the best choice due to its long lifespan, low maintenance and wildfire protection benefits. The roof also will provide long term energy efficiency and all season protection for the home, which is located on a 72 acre estate and includes a wine cellar, casita, pool room, study, gym and an outdoor living area.
With a 54-year track record of installing quality metal roofs, this winning project was Bliss Roofing’s largest residential project to date. The company used an astonishing 275 squares (or 26,000 square feet) of Cool Kynar 500 Dark Bronze Easy Lock Standing Seam Steel Metal panels for the new roof. Manufactured by Taylor Metals, the panels help showcase the impressive custom design and details of the one-story gabled roof home.
“This winning project really demonstrates how architects, builders, installers and manufacturers can successfully work together to ensure quality, not only when it comes to long-term performance and reliability, but also incredible style. With its stunning metal roof, this home is the very definition of beautiful design, both inside and out,” said Renee Ramey, MRA executive director.
With this phase of the competition now closed, the search is on for MRA’s Best Residential Metal Roofing for the final quarter of 2023. Open to U.S. and Canadian homeowners, contractors, installers and manufacturers, MRA officials will select one outstanding metal roofing project based on project appearance, performance and originality/use of materials. Interested participants may upload their project photo along with a 200-word or less description for why their metal roofing project is worthy of top honors online at metalroofing.com. Next quarter’s winner will be announced in January, 2024 and only residential metal roofing projects in the U.S. and Canada will be considered.
