S.T.A.R. Award Recipients – The Spotlight Trophy for the Advancement of Roofing S.T.A.R. Awards – the Spotlight Trophy for the Advancement of Roofing – is an awards program designed by FRSA to recognize members’ unique and outstanding projects. A panel of three judges evaluates and selects three recipients from each category. This year, there were 20 submissions for placement in one of four categories: Low Slope, Steep Slope, Community Service and Craftsmanship. The judges – Jim Brauner, Brauner Safety Services, Aventura, Joe Williams, RRC, AIA, A/R/C Associates Inc., Orlando and Mike Silvers, CPRC, Silvers Systems Inc. and FRSA Technical Director, St. Petersburg – spent a day reviewing the projects. Judging criteria included aesthetics, special circumstances, unique project design, complexity of project, workmanship, teamwork, testimonials and creative problem solving. The judges used before, in-progress and completed pictures and videos to assist in the process. Below is a list of the top 11 projects in alphabetical order by company. First, Second and Third Place will be announced at the 100th Annual Convention Thursday Evening at the STAR Awards Reception preceding the Officer Installation Dinner. The Shining STAR Award – the “Best of the Best” – which is the project the judges selected as the overall top project, will also be revealed that evening.
McEnany Roofing Inc
Regions Building | Tampa | Craftsmanship
The tallest building on the west coast of Florida and notability the focal point of every image of downtown Tampa, the steep green metal roof that caps the Regions Building, standing 579-feet above the downtown streets, can hardly be missed by anyone. McEnany Roofing, Inc. of Tampa was one of three local commercial roofing companies invited to bid the roof replacement of Regions Building. The previous roof was a snap-lock architectural standing seam metal panel, which had seam issues. The seams were negatively affecting the water integrity of the structure and there was growing concern from the owners that the panels posed a risk to pedestrians and property.

Architectural Sheet Metal Inc
Goodis Residence | Winter Park | Craftsmanship
The Goodis Residence sits on the shore of Lake Maitland in Winter Park. For the past several years, the new owners have transformed the residence from a house to a work of art. Architectural Sheet Metal (ASMI) created all custom trim and a custom herringbone standing seam roof. The ASMI team fabricated custom triangular downspouts and hip caps made of 22-gauge mirror finish stainless steel. The herringbone stainless steel tower was produced using 22-gauge stainless steel coil. The entire job was performed with steel materials. Many hours were spent scratching heads to complete the customer’s vision. 70
FLORIDA ROOFING | June 2022
As the father of five, Gunnery Sergeant Ashley and his wife Megan faced multiple challenges, including financial issues, recovery from combat-related injuries, multiple surgeries, a young family to support, a home with serious problems and a major roof leak. When we met Gunnery Sergeant Ashley, we instantly saw firsthand that “Freedom is not Free.” Our team removed the old shingle roof, repaired the damaged substrate, installed new Polystick underlayment and fabricated and installed a new MAPI 5-V metal roof along with the flashing, drip edge, etc. In addition to a new metal roof, our team installed new impact, insulated, LoE windows and doors, which PGT donated.
