Installation of a new aluminum roof on my existing home

This is to confirm that I awarded a contract to Interlock Roofing for the installation of a new aluminum roof on my existing home at the above address. The installation was carried out by BC’s Best Roof and the person responsible for the work was Michael Hayes.

I found that the work that Michael carried out was very professionally done.

Here are some examples for why I think this is the case:

Without being prompted he installed double ridge venting when he realized that the attic was separated in to two sections such that the flow of air would not be able to circulate correctly if a single ridge vent was installed.
He fastened down the skylight windows correctly on finding that they were not properly secured.
He used safety harnesses to ensure his own safety and to prevent unnecessary damage to the roofing or gutters if he was to slip.
The finish in terms of the alignment of the tiles, valleys, ridges and edges was all accurate and of good workmanship.
He replaced weather damaged woodwork in the appropriate places and found all the problem areas without me having to point them out.
The work was conducted promptly and with a pleasent attitude such that he gave me the sense of reliability such that he knew I would not have to supervise the activities at all and still be assured a good job.
The site was left in a clean condition with no hint of the work that carried out. He also secured the roofing material at night under a tarpaulin and did not leave unnecessary clutter around while working.

I appreciate the work done and would recommend Michael for for work of this nature to anyone who wants an expert.

Thank you,

A Beautiful, Durable Roof and Excellent Service in Nanoose Bay, BC

A Beautiful Roof in Nanoose Bay That Stopped Strangers in Their Tracks

Customer Review (Unedited)

The Story Behind the Roof

Nanoose Bay is one of those rare places where the natural beauty of Vancouver Island meets the daily realities of coastal living. Salt air, Pacific storms, and relentless sun test every structure to its limits. Most roofs here don’t last. They fade, crack, and need replacing every 15–20 years. The average homeowner typically buys three or four roofs in their lifetime.

But this story is different.

When our customer chose a Deep Charcoal Interlock Slate roof, the transformation wasn’t just about durability. It was about permanence—a decision to step off the hamster wheel of constant repairs and replacements.

Why This Roof Stands Out

On Vancouver Island, building codes demand durability against high winds and heavy rain. Our 4-way interlocking design exceeds those standards, locking each panel securely in place. And aluminum—unlike steel—laughs at salt spray from the Strait of Georgia.

The result? A roof that’s immune to rust, ready for solar panels, and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Neighbours noticed. People on the nearby walking trail stopped to take pictures. That’s not just a roof—it’s a landmark.

The Crew That Made It Happen

Antonio and his team worked through punishing summer heat to deliver precision craftsmanship. What impressed the homeowner wasn’t just speed—it was cleanliness. Every nail, every fastener collected. Every evening, the site appeared well-maintained. That’s how trust is built: in the small details most contractors overlook.

Local Connection: Nanoose Bay, BC

Nanoose Bay isn’t just another coastal town. It’s a community that thrives outdoors, from kayaking in the sheltered bay to golfing at Fairwinds. Homes here are built to showcase views of the ocean, Arbutus trees, and Mt. Arrowsmith in the distance.

A roof here isn’t just protection—it’s part of the landscape. And in Deep Charcoal, this Nanoose Bay home now frames the horizon with strength and elegance.

Why Interlock Is the Last Roof You’ll Ever Need

Lifetime Warranty: Built to outlast every storm, guaranteed.
High-Wind Resistance: 4-way interlocking design engineered for coastal storms.
Energy Efficiency: Keeps homes cooler in summer, warmer in winter.
ROI of 85.9%: According to Remodeling Magazine, metal roofing pays back more than almost any other exterior upgrade.
Environmental Impact: Helps reduce 11 million tons of asphalt shingles from landfills each year.
Ocean-Proof: Aluminum shingles resist salt corrosion—perfect for Nanoose Bay living.

Final Thought

If you’re in Nanoose Bay and you’ve ever wondered whether a roof could be both practical and beautiful, this project answers the question.

Our customer didn’t just buy a roof. They invested in peace of mind, permanence, and pride of ownership.

And judging by the neighbours (and hikers on the public trail) stopping to take pictures… It’s a decision that’s inspiring the whole community.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Nanoose Bay, BC Homeowners

What are the best roofing materials for Nanoose Bay’s coastal climate?

In Nanoose Bay, your roof faces constant exposure to salt air off the Strait of Georgia, strong Pacific storms, and harsh freeze-thaw cycles. These conditions dramatically shorten the lifespan of conventional asphalt shingles—12–15 years at best here, compared to 20–25 inland.

The proven solution is aluminum roofing, specifically the Interlock Lifetime Roofing System installed by Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. Unlike steel, aluminum will not rust, even when exposed to salt spray. It resists high winds, reflects UV rays, and stands up to the punishing storms we see on Vancouver Island.

While asphalt may appear less expensive upfront, homeowners often end up buying three or four asphalt roofs in their lifetime. By contrast, Interlock aluminum roofing is a one-time investment, backed by a lifetime, transferable warranty. For Nanoose Bay’s unique climate, it’s the best long-term roofing choice you can make.

What is the best fire-resistant roofing material for Nanoose Bay?

Nanoose Bay homeowners face two major risks: coastal storms in winter and wildfire threats in summer. With dense forested areas, Arbutus groves, and dry summer conditions, embers from wildfires can travel long distances and ignite vulnerable roofs.

The best fire-resistant roofing material for Nanoose Bay is aluminum—specifically the Interlock Lifetime Roofing System installed by Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. Our aluminum shingles when installed with the proper underlayment are rated Class A for fire resistance, the highest standard in North America. That means they won’t ignite, warp, or fuel a fire when exposed to windblown embers or direct flame contact.

By comparison, asphalt shingles can burn, and cedar shakes are among the most combustible materials on Vancouver Island homes. Even “fire-rated” asphalt products degrade quickly in Nanoose Bay’s salty, stormy environment, leaving homeowners exposed.

Aluminum not only resists fire, it also provides decades of storm protection, energy efficiency, and lifetime durability. For Nanoose Bay residents, it’s the only roofing choice that addresses both wildfire safety and coastal resilience in one permanent system.

When is the best time of year to replace a roof in Nanoose Bay?

The optimal window is late May through early October, when weather is stable and daylight is long. This allows Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. crews to complete installations without rain delays and ensures roofing materials perform properly during installation.

Summer is peak season, so book well in advance. Early fall often provides excellent conditions with cooler temperatures, making it a sweet spot for scheduling.

Winter replacements are discouraged unless it’s an emergency—storms and shorter days make work unpredictable. For best results, plan your project 3–6 months in advance.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Nanoose Bay?

Yes. The Vancouver Island Regional District (VIRD) requires permits for roof replacements that involve material upgrades, ventilation changes, or insulation improvements. Switching from asphalt shingles to the Interlock Lifetime Roofing System qualifies.

Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. handles the entire permit process on your behalf. This includes applications, inspections, and ensuring compliance with BC Building Code requirements for wind resistance, moisture protection, and ventilation.

Having a contractor who manages this paperwork ensures your home is fully code-compliant and that your insurance coverage remains valid.

How do I choose the right roofing contractor in Nanoose Bay?

Roofing in a coastal climate is different. You need a company with deep local experience, proven workmanship, and specialized knowledge of salt air challenges. Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. has been serving Vancouver Island for decades, with hundreds of successful installations in Nanoose Bay and surrounding communities.

When evaluating contractors, look for:

Local references within 20 km.
Proof of WorkSafeBC coverage and liability insurance.
Specialization in aluminum roofing.

Beware of “storm-chaser” contractors offering low bids. They rarely understand Nanoose Bay’s coastal conditions and may cut corners on ventilation and fastening—critical details Interlock has mastered over decades.

How does home insurance handle roof issues in Nanoose Bay?

Insurance providers reward homeowners who invest in permanent, storm-resistant roofs. Asphalt shingles often see higher premiums due to their vulnerability. By contrast, Interlock Lifetime Roofing is fire-resistant, impact-resistant, and engineered for winds up to 160 km/h, making it more insurable.

Storm damage is typically covered, but normal wear and tear or salt corrosion on non-aluminum systems may be excluded. Having a documented installation by Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd., with full permits and warranties, strengthens your insurance claims and may even lower your annual costs.

How long will a new roof last in Nanoose Bay?

Asphalt shingles: 12–15 years in coastal BC.
High-end shingles: 15–20 years, if well maintained.
Interlock Lifetime Roofing (aluminum): 50+ years, with a true lifetime, transferable warranty.

Aluminum is the only roofing material that truly resists Nanoose Bay’s salt air and storm cycles. Installed by Interlock, it becomes the last roof you’ll ever need.

How important is ventilation in a Nanoose Bay home?

Ventilation is critical in our damp, coastal environment. Poor attic airflow leads to condensation, mold, and reduced roof lifespan.

Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd. inspects and upgrades ventilation with every installation. Our systems meet or exceed BC Building Code requirements, balancing intake and exhaust so your attic stays dry year-round.

Proper ventilation also improves indoor comfort, prevents ice dams, and helps maximize energy savings. If your current roof lacks proper venting, it’s the right time to address it during replacement.

Are ice dams a problem in Nanoose Bay?

Yes—especially in areas that see frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Snow melts during mild winter days, then refreezes at night, forcing water back under shingles. This leads to leaks and hidden structural damage.

The Interlock Lifetime Roofing System naturally reduces ice dam risk thanks to its smooth interlocking design and advanced underlayment protection. When paired with proper ventilation and insulation, ice dams are virtually eliminated.

What should I know about roofing warranties in a coastal climate?

Most asphalt warranties look appealing—“30 years,” “lifetime”—but fine print often excludes coastal installations. Coverage is typically prorated and weakens after 10–15 years.

Interlock Lifetime Roofing, by contrast, carries a true lifetime, transferable warranty that fully applies to coastal BC. Installed by Interlock Metal Roofing (BC) Ltd., the warranty protects against material defects, wind uplift, and corrosion—critical for Nanoose Bay homeowners.

The result: complete peace of mind, backed by a contractor who’s been here for decades and will be here for decades more.

Our son, who builds high end homes on Vancouver Island, had seen Interlock roofs in the course of his work and recommended that we look into this company when the time came to replace our aging roof

Nanoose Bay, BC

★★★★★ 5/5

Our son, who builds high end homes on Vancouver Island, had seen Interlock roofs in the course of his work and recommended that we look into this company when the time came to replace our aging roof. We were impressed with the immediate response we got from the company when contacted and the speed with which the project came to life. The reps who visited our home showed us all of the various colours and styles available, explained the installation process, and were very personable as well as totally professional.

Installation took place just before Christmas which is not usually considered roofing weather, but since the old roof remained in place work moved along at a good pace and our hard working team was done in just over three days. Absolutely no mess was created. Now we are the envy of the neighbourhood and we never have to think about roofing again. When we do have to sell (and we hope this is a long ways down life’s road) the transferable warranty will certainly be working for us. Thanks, Interlock!

Here are the before and after. Fabulous, no? We still can’t look directly at it. Sooooo beautiful!

Thank you for making this difficult process so easy

Whistler, BC

★★★★★ 5/5

Thank you so much for all your efforts in installing our new Interlock Roof. You and your team were professional and courteous going over and beyond the scope of work expected.

We and our neighbours were thoroughly impressed with how neat and tidy you were at containing the excess debris and at the same time being cautious of the landscaping.

The final product looks fantastic. It was a pleasure dealing with the entire Interlock Industries team from the beginning sales process right through to the final installation.

Thank you for making this difficult process so easy.

With our new Interlock roof's high fire rating, we feel much safer

Vernon, BC

★★★★★ 5/5

We had our Interlock metal roof installed this summer and had the pleasure of dealing with Dave Olafson who thoroughly informed us of all the benefits of an Interlock roof and all of the various options available. Mr. Olafson was very easy to get along with, professional, answered all of our questions and helped us with our final decision. And after the business was taken care of Dave beat the snot out of my husband during a round of golf…

Our roof looks fantastic, and has given our home a whole new dimension of richness. Living in the Okanagan interface, the threat of fire is constant during summer months. With our new Interlock roof’s high fire rating, we feel much safer. Installation was done by one very hard working gentleman who did an amazing job, working in 38 – 40-degree temperatures daily, and enduring the smoky air from existing fires in the area.

I highly recommend BC’s Best Roof to anyone who may be in the market for a new roof, and we look forward to never having to replace ours again.

We are very happy with our new aluminum shake roof by Interlock Roofing. What you see in the brochures is what you get.

The people at Interlock are friendly, efficient and create a roof that we will never have to be replaced.

Our neighbours all like our roof. A realtor, who lives down the street, told us we have just increased the value of our house. We like to think, we have increased the appeal of our house, because we like the look of our house even more than we did before the new roof.

To Whom it May Concern,

We want to express our appreciation for the good work done by Antonio and Tyler this weekend putting the new roof on our house here on Bowen Island.

Considering the difficult conditions and challenging nature of the work they were doing for us, their attitude was always positive, friendly and professional.

Their working day was long but they kept going very diligently until the job was finished. They also cleaned up nicely and their job appears to be first rate, so we have nothing but compliments for the job they did.

I have no hesitation about recommending them to your clients.

Sincerely,

Replacing our old cedar shingle roof with Interlock Standing Seam

West Vancouver, BC

★★★★★ 5/5

Now that you have completed the job of replacing our old cedar shingle roof with an Interlock Standing Seam aluminum roof, Jayne and I are writing to express our thanks for the work that you have done.

At all times throughout the project, we have been impressed by your professionalism, work ethic and attention to detail. We would also like to thank you for taking efforts to minimize the disruption caused by us by the work and for carrying out several extra jobs (including the replacement of light bulbs in hard to reach lights under the eaves of our house and several sections of corroded downpipe) willingly and efficiently.

We are pleased to have had you in charge of the work on our roof and would have no hesitation in strongly recommending you and your team to anyone else wishing to install a new roof.

Yours Sincerely,

Tired of curling and cracking old duroid roof shingles

Campbell River, BC

★★★★★ 5/5

To Whom It May Concern::

After considering many different roof styles and systems, I chose Interlock because I was tired of curling and cracking old duroid roof shingles. My problem was unique, in that, I was surrounded by large fir trees, which shed unlimited needles on my roof, not to mention moss problems. This product answered my concerns. Because of the smooth Teflon surface nothing sticks to it and I’m not concerned about the moss.

The true test of a good roof is the installer. Antonio was our roofer, I found him to be very professional and considerate of our time. He removed the old chimney and reinforced the hold in the roof like a professional contractor and did not compromise in any way.

The look of the roof and the quality of workmanship is what impressed me most.

Now I get all sorts of comments on my roof!

Thanks again, Interlock Roofing and Antonio!!!!!

Happy Customer,
