The gold standard in metal roofing partnerships

Drexel Metals Plus members gain exclusive access to benefits that improve quality, efficiency and long-term success. 

Drexel Metals’ commitment to supporting quality-driven metal roofing professionals is taking center stage with the Drexel Metals Plus program. Designed to recognize and reward top-tier partners, the program includes a host of benefits aimed at improving user project quality, efficiency and competitiveness. 

One key requirement for joining the Drexel Metals Plus program is participating in Drexel’s machine maintenance program. “We created this machine maintenance program probably about three or four years ago,” shared Brian McLaughlin, national sales manager of Drexel Metals and director of associations at Carlisle Architectural Metals (CAM), in this MetalTalk™ episode. “The team is made up of tech reps that have 60-plus years of hands-on experience.” The program includes a full QA audit, preventive maintenance and on-call technical support, helping reduce downtime and maintain panel fabrication standards. 

Quality assurance also extends to Drexel’s unique Gold Standard Warranty, available exclusively to Drexel Metals Plus members. “It’s fully transferable. You can transfer it once, you can transfer it twice, you can transfer it 10 different times,” Brian said. “You get material and labor, so you get full coverage peace of mind on any type of paint finish claim.” 

Technology also plays a pivotal role in Drexel Metals Plus, particularly through the Roofing Passport software — a tool integrated with Sherwin-Williams and EagleView to automate takeoffs and streamline quoting. “With Roofing Passport, it does it automatically,” stated Brian. “You can actually upload your plans and it gives a full takeoff. Our customers are able to get up to 30 quotes per estimator.” 

Ultimately, the Drexel Metals Plus program is aimed at educating and supporting partners while spreading the word about Drexel Metals’ impressive name. “The more folks are knowledgeable about installation practices of metal roofing,” Brian started, “the better our industry will benefit from it, because the last thing we want is a subpar installation. We want Drexel Metals that have a quality name behind our product.”
