★★★★★ 5/5

Dear Interlock,

It is a great feeling to know that our new Interlock roof has been completed. For 3 years we have looked at our roof and known we had to do something. We contacted Barry from yourlastroof.ca and he responded to our call immediately. We thought the products and the service he offered us were top of the line. We were not disappointed with either, our new aluminum roof looks great on our Victorian house, and the crew installing it did a terrific job. Each day after completing their work they did a thorough clean up of the job site. They were very pleasant to talk to and always explained what they were doing.

We honestly believe we made the right decision on selecting Barry and his crew to complete our roofing project. Now we have a roof that looks great and is guaranteed for our lifetime.

Sincerely,
Bob R. and Jill D.

Dear Interlock,

Thank you for sending the package of brochures including Dave Brown’s letter explaining the Referral Program.

Please note that the 3-man crew began May 14th and completed the job on the 16th. The crew led by George did an excellent job. From the moment that they arrived at our home, they conducted themselves in a very professional manner! As the crew worked on the roof, they were fast, efficient and skilled in the operation of installing the materials. There was never any mess as they continuously “cleaned up”! In chatting with the fellows, they were friendly and polite. The entire process never interfered with our coming and goings but we were interested in watching from time to time! A real learning experience!! All in all, we would certainly recommend your company and roofing system as we are very, very pleased with the final result – just prefect!

Thanks again to INTERLOCK for installing a roof which is both long-lasting and beautiful.

We have already received many positive compliments!

Yours truly,

This job was very technical in that the roof was a complex series of dormers set on a steep pitch

Toronto, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

Eleazor Genge was the foreman of the team of roofing contractors supplied by Interlock Metal Roofing (Ontario) Ltd. to reroof our house at the address above. The job was started in 2011 and completed in 2012 and involved both the installation of a new aluminum sloped roof and a new flat roof covered by a heavy rubber membrane.

This job was very technical in that the roof was a complex series of dormers set on a steep pitch. There were numerous roof sections that required the metal shingles to be custom cut and several of these sections were curved which required much skill to execute properly.

We were more than impressed with the level of craftsmanship that Mr. Genge brought to the job. His careful attention to detail and his vast knowledge of carpentry and metal work provided us with an absolutely stunning end product. We feel extremely fortunate that Mr. Genge was the foreman provided on this job and we commend his services to anyone looking to complete this type of work.

Yours truly,

Hi Dave,

I just wanted to pass along how happy Karen and I are with Nicolas and the crew regarding our roof installation. They should finish up tomorrow, and the roof looks great. The guys did a great job of installing it. They were here early every morning and worked a full day; they did a great job cleaning up at the end of each day. They are great at keeping me up to speed as to where they are and what they are doing. Top-notch, so please pass along some kudos to whoever is in charge of keeping these guys going. There are only 2 of them, but they are doing a great job, and they are both great guys!

A return on our investment when we eventually sell our home

Re: Roofing installation on House and detached Garage.

We became interested in your product when we saw a neighbour’s, (Len Sylvester) house roof during our investigation into a roof replacement. Although the pricing was expensive, the look, warranty, neighbourhood references and benefits of an Interlock roof, persuaded us to contract with you.

The installation of an aluminum black slate roof on our house and garage is just being completed today.

We are very satisfied with the result. It looks magnificent, and our neighbours are already commenting on the beautiful appearance.

Moses and Fred were sent as our installation team, and we are very happy that they were assigned to our job site. They are both extremely hard working. They put in long hours during a very hot humid summer period. Their work was professional, and they were friendly to us and considerate of our neighbours. Moses’ experience and attention to detail has produced an excellent result on a complex roof structure.

We look forward to many years of satisfaction, and a return on our investment when we eventually sell our home.

Many Thanks,
Yours sincerely

We wholeheartedly recommend the Interlock Roofing System and the professional installation crew that worked on our summer home in the 1000 Islands

Ottawa, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

Dear sirs,

Following the installation of our new Interlock Roof (Slate Style in Green Colour) in late summer 2010, we are pleased to report that we are completely satisfied with the look and appeal of the new roof in addition and more notably with the quality of the product (Energy Star Rating) and installation. The Interlock installers were quite competent and meticulous in their work and procedures as well as being quite forthcoming and courteous in providing answers to our questions.

There was only one minor issue following the installation and that was resolved on a very timely basis and explains our complete satisfaction with this new Interlock Roofing System on our summer home originally built in 1940 on the 1000 Islands Parkway between Gananoque and Lansdowne. We are also grateful to Barry Brinson for arranging to have delivered to us a few more green Interlock tiles so that we can adapt and install them to the tops of the birdhouses found on the property!

Based on this very positive experience and outcome, we wholeheartedly recommend the Interlock Roofing system/product and the professional installation crew that worked on our summer home in the 1000 Islands.

With our many thanks and appreciation,
Sheila and Richard Brisson

I could not have had a better team of roofers, or a better product

Ottawa, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

Dear Sir:

I had a new Interlock roof installed a few weeks ago and would like to express my appreciation for work well done.

Your salesman, Mr. Barry Brinson, who was my first contact with Interlock, was impressive in his knowledge and experience. He gave me the confidence to deal with your establishment. He explained all roofing options and did not put any pressure on me to make an immediate decision.

Your roofing team under Mr. John Caverley were quietly efficient and proceeded to do the job in a professional manner that gave me confidence in the quality of their workmanship. They left my property spotless after their clean-up. Please thank them all for me.

My roof looks beautiful. It surpassed my expectations in terms of looks and I know that its durability will not disappoint. Mr. Brinson did not mention one advantage to your roof which both my wife and I enjoy: we love to hear the sound of the rain softly tapping on the roof.

To summarize, I am glad I chose Interlock to do my roof. I could not have had a better team of roofers, or a better product. Please express my appreciation to everyone involved for a job well done! Thank you.

Yours truly,
Frederick A.

Bolton Metal Roofing Review | March 17, 2025 – Expert Service by Ken

Bolton, Ontario

Bolton, Ontario, is a place where history holds strong, where the Humber River weaves through a community that values craftsmanship, longevity, and resilience. It’s a town that started as a milling settlement in the early 1800s and has grown into the largest urban center in Caledon, known for its rolling landscapes, strong local businesses, and a deep sense of pride in what lasts.

Ed understands this well. His home, covered with an Interlock Metal Roofing System, is built for the long haul. And when it needed attention, Ken showed up early, got the job done, and made sure everything was right.

Ken came to the house, arrived early. And he fixed our leak, very courteous and was very good at his job.

A roof is more than just shingles and nails—it’s protection, peace of mind, and a commitment to never dealing with another re-roofing project again. With a lifetime warranty, four-way interlocking strength, high-wind resistance, and solar compatibility, Ed’s roof doesn’t just sit there; it works. Through Bolton’s icy winters, humid summers, and everything in between, it holds up—just like the people here.

Bolton’s past and future are woven together in the homes that line its streets, in the businesses that keep it thriving, and in the smart choices homeowners make. Ed made one of those choices—because a great roof isn’t just about today. It’s about the next decade, and the one after that.

Top 10 FAQs About Metal Roofing in Bolton, Ontario – Why Interlock is the Best Choice

How does an Interlock Metal Roof hold up in Bolton’s extreme winters?

Bolton winters can be tough, with heavy snowfalls and freezing temperatures. Unlike asphalt shingles, which can crack and warp under freezing conditions, Interlock Metal Roofing is designed to withstand extreme cold without expanding, contracting, or becoming brittle. The unique 4-way interlocking system also prevents snow and ice buildup, reducing the risk of ice dams that can damage your home.

Will my metal roof rust? What about steel roofing?

No, Interlock Metal Roofing will not rust because it’s made from heavy-gauge aluminum, which is naturally rust-resistant. In contrast, steel roofing is prone to rust and corrosion, especially in areas with high humidity and frequent freeze-thaw cycles like Bolton. Even steel roofs with coatings will eventually corrode over time, making aluminum the smarter choice for long-term durability.

Is an Interlock Metal Roof too noisy during rain or hail?

A properly installed Interlock Metal Roofing System is just as quiet—if not quieter—than asphalt or rubber roofing. The roof is installed over a solid roof deck with high-quality underlayment, which absorbs sound. Unlike traditional metal roofs that create a “pinging” effect, Interlock’s textured profiles help disperse sound, making rain and hail noise a non-issue.

Can metal roofing handle Bolton’s high winds?

Yes! Interlock Metal Roofing is engineered for high-wind resistance, making it the best choice for homes in Bolton, where wind gusts can exceed 90 km/h in severe storms. Thanks to the 4-way interlocking system, each shingle is securely locked into place—unlike asphalt shingles, which can lift, curl, or blow away after a strong storm.

How does an Interlock Metal Roof compare to cement tile roofing in Bolton?

While cement tiles can last a long time, they are heavy, prone to cracking in freezing temperatures, and require additional roof reinforcement. Interlock Metal Roofing gives you the classic look of slate or tile without the weight, meaning no extra structural support is needed. Plus, Bolton’s freeze-thaw cycles can cause cement tiles to crack—but aluminum metal roofing is immune to this issue.

Is an Interlock Metal Roof energy-efficient in Bolton’s hot summers?

Absolutely. Unlike asphalt and rubber roofing, which absorb heat, Interlock Metal Roofs reflect solar radiation, keeping your home cooler in the summer. Bolton homeowners experience hot, humid summers, and with Interlock’s energy-efficient properties, you can reduce cooling costs by up to 25%.

How does metal roofing compare to rubber roofing in durability?

Rubber roofing is marketed as a long-lasting option, but it can fade, shrink, and develop cracks over time, especially under Bolton’s UV exposure and temperature fluctuations. Interlock Metal Roofing, on the other hand, won’t degrade, crack, or warp—giving you a true lifetime roofing solution.

What maintenance does an Interlock Metal Roof require?

Almost none. Unlike asphalt roofs, which require regular shingle replacements, or wood shake roofs that need treatments and repairs, an Interlock Metal Roof requires minimal upkeep. Simply clearing debris from gutters is all that’s needed—no costly maintenance or frequent re-roofing.

Is an Interlock Metal Roof solar-compatible?

Yes! Many Bolton homeowners are making the switch to solar energy, and Interlock Metal Roofing is 100% solar-compatible. Unlike asphalt or steel roofing, which may need modifications for solar panel installation, Interlock’s metal shingles allow for easy mounting of solar brackets without compromising the roof’s integrity.

How long does an Interlock Metal Roof last compared to asphalt roofing?

A traditional asphalt roof in Bolton lasts 10-15 years at best due to extreme weather conditions. Interlock Metal Roofing comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, meaning you install it once and never worry about re-roofing again. Over the years, asphalt shingles degrade, requiring multiple costly replacements, whereas an Interlock Roof stays strong for life.

Why Bolton Homeowners Choose Interlock Metal Roofing

Bolton homeowners know that quality matters. Whether it’s protecting your home from winter storms, reducing cooling costs in the summer, or ensuring your roof won’t crack, curl, or blow away, Interlock Metal Roofing is built to withstand Ontario’s toughest weather conditions.

If you’re ready to make the switch to a roof that lasts a lifetime, contact us today and discover why Bolton homeowners trust Interlock Metal Roofing for the ultimate in durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal.

I want to let you how much we appreciate your installation of Charcoal Gray Interlock Roof at our cottage in Wollaston Township south of Bancroft.

The prompt manner in which your staff, especially Mr. Al Snider, Mrs. Caroline Russell and your installer Mr. Mark Theveneuse, handled the roof replacement after a roof fire was exemplary.

We are enjoying the look of a new roof which complements the surroundings and are collecting compliments from neighbours and visitors.

I have no hesitation in endorsing your roofing system and will contact you when the planned wing addition is finalized.

It was pleasure to do business with you.

It looks magnificent, and our neighbours are already commenting on the beautiful appearance

Hamilton, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

We are the talk of our neighbourhood. Our house now has the best looking roof on our street and we are proud of it.

Chris and Paul who worked on the roof were extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. What a great representation of your company standards. They kept us informed of their progress, worked endlessly and constantly cleaned up after themselves. Job well done!!!Many of our neighbours came out to watch and were impressed with the workmanship and style of the Interlock roof.

Hopefully other home owners will realize the benefits of having this type of roofing system.

Our biggest concern was the noise level when it was raining. Our concern was put to ease the other night because we had a rain storm and we could barely hear the rain drops on the roof.

We now can sleep peacefully knowing that we now have a strong quiet maintenance-free roof.

Thank you Interlock!

One of the major selling factors of our house was our beautiful black Interlock shingle style roof with the non-prorated transferable warranty

Belwood, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how much we liked the look of our black Interlock shingle roof, that was installed in 2002. Our home was in a beautiful country estate subdivision in Belwood a small community located north of Guelph. We found that the gentlemen who installed the roof to be very professional and at the end of the day they would take it upon themselves to ensure the rounds of the property were clear of any debris.

This house was our dream home, we spent years landscaping and doing home renovations, having this roof finished the look with added curb appeal. We had many neighbors and friends inquire through us about our roof, and we were happy to give information regarding the roof.

Unfortunately, my husband was transferred and we put our house on the market. One of the major selling factors of our house was our beautiful black Interlock shingle style roof with the non-prorated transferable warranty. The family that purchased our home are in love with the style of the Interlock shingles which add character, junction, and such curb appeal.

We are now settled in our new home and when the roof needs to be replaced, we will be making a phone call to have another Interlock roof installed.

We will be seeing you in the future.

Sincerely,
Murray and Brenda Easton

New roof installed by Interlock and very pleased with the professionalism and aesthetics

Oakville, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

I have a new roof installed by Interlock and very pleased with the professionalism and aesthetics. My builder roof lasted 12 years and I needed something more durable. I spent months talking to steel roof installers and the thing that bothered me most, is whether the company will be around long enough to support warranty issues. The coatings were also prone to fading and I was looking for a worry free product. My research led me to select aluminum roofing with PVDF coating for durability and resistance to Color fade. The lifetime transferable warranty and fact that Interlock has been in business for over 40 years led me to contact the company. Interlock staff are courteous and Bruce gave a very fair price with a no pressure quote. My roof has some features that could affect aesthetics and Bruce arranged for special considerations at those locations. The installers were very courteous, and took the time necessary to do a great installation. They respected my views as a home owner and provided regular updates on progress and solutions. The installers cleaned up debris at the end of each day and coordinated with my neighbours to minimize impact from the roofing job. When rain was in the forecast the crew worked tirelessly to complete roofing sections that would be vulnerable to rainfall. Overall I am pleased with everyone’s efforts and now hope the roof will be durable for many years.
