The Metal Roofing Alliance and its member manufacturers are committed to quality. As a condition of joining the association, manufacturer members of the MRA must agree to provide only the highest quality of residential metal roofing materials that meet or exceed the Metal Construction Association’s Guide Specification for Residential Metal Roofing.

. . . . " “We are always looking for opportunities to educate and train contractors,” says Pete Croft, vice president of sales and marketing for Metro Roof Products. “Providing installers with proper training is the next logical step to getting more metal shingles on homes.” Metro brought a trainer in from Oceanside, Calif., and had the territory sales representative on hand to run the training sessions. Brad Van Weelden, a Gold level MRA contractor, also participated in the training. In all, 30 roofers were trained over four days. “In addition to the training, the contractors that participated got first-hand experience installing a 160-square roof on a building at the apartment complex. We trained them and then put them right to work,” Croft says.
