The DECRA Metal Roofing Project of the Year recognizes the craftsmanship and style of contractors who install DECRA roofs.  

DECRA Metal Roofing Project of the Year rules

Here is how to enter:

• Contractors can submit high-resolution images, along with project details by December 1, 2022.
• The project must use DECRA Metal Roofing profiles.
• The project must be completed in 2022.
• Entries must be submitted online.
• Contractors may (and are encouraged to) submit more than one project!

Judging

At the end of the year, six finalists will be chosen by an internal DECRA Metal Roofing panel. Entries will be judged on craftsmanship and uniqueness. Once the six finalists are determined, the images will be posted to Facebook and voting will open to all DECRA followers through a poll.

The project with the most votes on the poll will be awarded the 2022 DECRA Metal Roofing Project of the Year.

Prizes

Each year the prizes get bigger and better, with this year’s winner receiving the following.

• Your choice of the Swenson Shear Stone Cutter ($895 value) or Swenson Shear Base and Ridge Bender ($3,995 value): The Stone Coat Cutter is designed for use on a multitude of metal roof applications from stone coated metal shake and shingles, to 14-gauge stainless flat sheets. The Stone Coat Cutter is equipped with a 34-inch blade that is made of long-lasting, high carbon steel. This go-to tool is safe, efficient and will give you a clean cut every time. The Base and Ridge Bender is a combination tool used for bending stone coated steel to control water from blowing into the metal roof system. The base bender bends stone coated steel panels at the rakes, side walls, hips and valley to control water from moving sideways into the roof. The ridge bender is used anywhere on the panels where there’s a short course in the field, head wall and ridge.
• Three-month R-CLUB membership ($150 value) from RoofersCoffeeShop. Your membership gets you an interactive directory, media opportunities, a digital toolkit and more.
• One-year subscription to RooferAdvice ($100 value). This subscription gets you a free listing, where you can provide information about your roofing business to homeowners looking for contractors who install DECRA Metal Roofing.
• Project feature on the DECRA blog, dedicated case study and social media promotion.

Timeline

Submissions are accepted through December 1, 2022. Finalists will be determined by December 6, 2022 and the following day voting will open on Facebook. People can vote on their favorite project until December 21, 2022. The winner will be announced January 3, 2023.
