Originally Published as: Reap the Rewards: How You Can Benefit By Inspiring the Industry
Each May, Metal Roofing Magazine dedicates an entire issue to celebrating exceptional metal roofing projects from across the industry. This annual Metal Roofing IDEA Book showcases standout installations that demonstrate creative design, quality materials, and skilled craftsmanship. More importantly, it serves as a source of inspiration for roofing professionals looking to better understand market demands and elevate their own work.
Metal roofing continues to prove its versatility across residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications. By highlighting real-world projects, the IDEA Book illustrates what’s possible with thoughtful design and expert installation—and helps move the industry forward by sharing proven solutions and fresh ideas.
Contributing a project offers meaningful benefits for roofing professionals. If your project is selected, your company will receive free exposure in a nationally circulated magazine devoted exclusively to metal roofing. Even for contractors who primarily serve regional markets, inclusion in the IDEA Book provides national visibility and positions your business among respected peers.
Selected companies also receive an “As Seen in the Metal Roofing IDEA Book” digital badge. This mark of recognition signals credibility and distinction and can be used on your website, social media channels, proposals, and other marketing materials to help your company stand out in a competitive marketplace.
As an added benefit, all project contributors will receive a complimentary subscription to Metal Roofing Magazine. This ensures you’ll receive the issue in which your project appears—whether it is published in the annual Metal Roofing IDEA Book or selected as a featured Project of the Month when space limitations apply. If you are already a subscriber, your existing subscription will be extended at no cost. Either way, you won’t miss seeing your work in print or sharing the recognition with your team and customers.
Founded in 2001, Metal Roofing Magazine reaches more than 25,000 readers throughout the metal roofing supply chain. Being featured allows you to present your project as a solution to real-world challenges—whether related to design, performance, installation, or durability—and helps fellow professionals improve outcomes on future jobs.
Submitting a project is straightforward. Visit the Metal Roofing project submission page at readmetalroofing.com/metal-roofing-project-submission-form (or scan the QR code below). You’ll be asked to provide basic company and project information, list key materials and components used, and upload clear, high-resolution photos. Once your submission is received, you’ll get confirmation, and if your project is selected, you’ll have the opportunity to review the layout prior to publication.
Selected contributors will also receive high-resolution files of their published pages for use in their own marketing efforts, making participation even more valuable.
The Metal Roofing IDEA Book is built by roofing professionals for roofing professionals. By sharing your work, you help raise the bar for the entire industry while gaining well-earned recognition for your craftsmanship.
