Both are good, long term manufacturers. Both produce products in a wide range of styles and qualities. Drexel is a member of the Metal Roofing Alliance. Englert is not. If you wish, drop me an email at todd@asktoddmiller.com and I have some consumer education pieces I can send you to help you know what to ask and what to look for.
Hi. Thank you for creating this site. I am in the Florida panhandle where Hurricane Michael ravished our city. My current roof is 10 years told and insurance gave me money to replace the roof (laminated shingles). I am considering standing seam although everyone is trying to talk me out of it. I have been offered by two different contractors- Drexel 175s and Englert 1300. From my research, it appears one is mechanically seamed and one is not, one is broad width and one is narrow. I think the paint systems may be different as well. I don't know if this makes a difference but my slope or pitch I don't even know which is which but it's 7/12. Any thoughts on the manufacturers?
If anyone is looking for a great tool for metal roofing or siding, I purchased a SnapTable PRO for my standing seam panels and it worked like a dream! I save so much time on my jobs and have minimal materials waste. I can now schedule more jobs and cut labor costs and my team LOVES this tool. We are thinking about purchasing more so we have them at multiple job sites. You need to check them out. www.swensonshear.com
