The concept of permanent roofing system with a lifetime transferable warranty, will give us peace of mind, as well as increase the value of our property

Brampton, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

My Wife and I are very pleased with our new aluminum roof it has been almost four months since Interlock crew in so efficient and timely manner installed it. Some years ago after my asphalt shingles roof No.3, I promised myself never again with the asphalt crap, I HATE IT (Heavy, Flammable, Granules- shedding-eaves-clogging, gone with the wind, etc, etc.).

The concept of permanent roofing system with a lifetime transferable warranty, will give us peace of mind, as well as increase the value of our property.

After some hesitation regarding the cost, looking in retrospect, I believe it -was the right decision to make. The only thing left to do now is to sit, and relax under a maintenance free Interlock roof.

Finally, hats off to the installation crew, very helpful in answering technical question, posed to them on the precautions they took to prevent damage to property, on how clean they daily left the surroundings.

Thank you, Sirs, Sincerely,

My new Interlock roof has satisfied me beyond all expectation

Ottawa, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

It has now been two years since the installation of metal interlocking shingles on the roof of my residence in Ottawa. As I indicated to the salesman at the time, if after two years I was totally satisfied with the installation and performance of my new roof I would take the time to extol the virtues of the Interlock system.

To date, I have indeed been most impressed with the performance of my roof prior to installation of the Interlock system, I was required to change the asphalt shingles on my roof every eight to ten years. Because I have a low slope roof on my home, I was not immune from the occasional leak between re-shingling jobs. Re-shingling a roof is a major financial investment, and obviously more so when considering an upgrade from the standard asphalt shingles used by the construction industry, Therefore, prior to my decision to accept the Interlock roof system, I had a number of concerns such as fading, longevity, performance, workmanship, appearance, etc. I can categorically state that, to date, initial apprehensions have not materialized. My new Interlock roof has satisfied me beyond all expectation. Besides the leak-free performance of my new root, the next greatest benefit is the appearance of the Interlock shingles versus the conventional asphalt shingles. Homes with the Interlock systems have a much greater aesthetic appearance as attested to by friends, neighbours and strangers passing through the area. This, in addition to the lifetime warranty (50 years on the resale of the home), greatly enhances the marketability of the home on re-sale. To say I am pleased as punch with my new roofing system is an understatement.

I have no objection to Interlock Industries using my endorsement of their product. I have not, nor will I receive any financial or other benefits for this endorsement. Satisfaction and peace of mind (especially when it rains) are my rewards. Thank-you Interlock Industries for a job well done.

Thank you,

LOOKS – LOOKS – LOOKS GREAT!!!

We just wanted to say the roof really looks great. The reason we are writing this letter is to let you know how pleased we were with your workmen.

They did a fantastic job on the roof as well as cleaning up after themselves each day. Please extend our thanks to them for a really professional job well done.

We look forward to a roof that will continue to look good over time and provide increased protection and insulation from the elements

Scarborough, Ontario

Scarborough's Best-Kept Secret? It's On the Roof.

You can tell a lot about a town by its rooftops.

In Scarborough, Ontario—a place that straddles city energy and lakeside calm—you’ll find homes shaped by stories. The wind off Lake Ontario whispers through the maples. Summers bake, and winters bite. And every roof, like every person underneath, is quietly weathering something.

Ben knew this.

He wasn’t just buying a roof. He was solving a problem before it started.

Because in Scarborough, your roof isn’t just protection—it’s peace of mind. It’s insulation from lake-effect snow, wind tunnelling from the Bluffs, and the sun that bounces off shimmering Scarborough Beach just 7 kilometres south. It’s how you sleep soundly when January howls and stay cool when August scorches. With Interlock, you can rest assured that your home is shielded from the elements, providing unmatched security.

And that’s why Ben chose Interlock.

What Ben Said (Exactly)

We wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our new Interlock Roof. The installers, who worked on our house, as well as being friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about the product, worked quickly and efficiently. They tidied as they went along and kept us informed about the progress of their work. Your office staff were also very Informative and helpful. I have no hesitation in endorsing your roofing system. I am astounded that so few people have taken advantage of such a roofing system, I can only hope that your company somehow reaches a lot more homeowners, as your roofing system is not only exceptionally sound, safe and pleasing to the eye, more importantly, it is ecological, thus saving some of our near depleted natural resources. The Interlock Roof really has added to the attractiveness of the house and has drawn interest from neighbours and passers-by. We look forward to a roof that will continue to look good over time and provide increased protection and insulation from the elements.

Why This Matters

Ben’s not just satisfied—he’s inspired. And that’s worth pausing for.

He saw what many overlook: a roof isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a transformation.

In a neighbourhood of brick bungalows and post-war charm, where the Scarborough Bluffs tower 90 meters above the shoreline and residents take pride in every flower box and garden gnome, his home now stands taller—not just in height, but in presence.

People stop. They ask questions. And suddenly, Ben’s decision becomes a conversation.

That’s how trust spreads.

What They Got (Without Needing to Ask)

This isn’t marketing fluff—it’s engineering fact:

A lifetime warranty means Ben will never re-roof again. Not once.
4-way interlocking shingles mean his roof laughs at 120 km/h wind gusts.
Cool Roof technology reflects solar heat in those sticky August weeks.
Durability that shrugs off ice dams, summer storms, and, yes, raccoons.
Curb appeal that makes neighbours slow their cars.

And let’s not forget: this roof is solar-ready, built for the future, wrapped in the integrity of an ecological choice. By choosing Interlock, you’re not just investing in your home; you’re making a responsible choice for the environment and contributing to preserving our natural resources.

Scarborough’s weather doesn’t play around. Neither does this roof.

A Quick Word on the Community

Scarborough isn’t just a Toronto suburb—it’s a mosaic.

From the lush trails of Rouge National Urban Park to the architectural awe of the Guild Inn Estate, it’s a place where heritage and innovation overlap, where new Canadians put down roots, and where kids ride bikes in cul-de-sacs that echo laughter and long weekends.

Ben’s Interlock roof isn’t just part of that backdrop—it’s part of the narrative, a story of community and shared values. By choosing Interlock, you’re not just upgrading your home; you’re becoming part of a community that values quality, sustainability, and innovation.

Final Thought

If you’re in Scarborough—or anywhere the seasons make demands—Ben’s story is a signal.

It’s not just that Interlock roofs look good. But choosing one is an act of care—for your home, family, and the future.

Because sometimes the most powerful choice you make… is the one overhead.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Scarborough, Ontario Homeowners

What are the best roofing materials for Scarborough's extreme climate?

For Scarborough’s challenging continental climate, with temperature swings from -25°C to +35°C, material selection is critical for long-term performance. Traditional asphalt shingles struggle with our freeze-thaw cycles and Toronto’s urban heat island effect, which can push roof temperatures significantly higher than surrounding areas.

Aluminum roofing is the top choice for Scarborough homeowners, offering unparalleled performance in extreme weather conditions. Its ability to handle thermal expansion and contraction without cracking or deteriorating and its effective snow and ice shedding properties make it a standout solution for the dangerous snow buildup that often plagues GTA homes during harsh winters.

Interlock Metal Roofing Systems offer particular advantages in our climate—their interlocking aluminum design creates superior wind resistance against Lake Ontario’s strong gusts while providing excellent protection from driving rain and snow. The reflective properties help combat summer heat, reducing cooling costs in Toronto’s increasingly hot summers.

While clay tiles work in some Scarborough neighbourhoods, they require structural assessment for snow load capacity. Synthetic materials offer durability but at premium pricing. Basic 3-tab shingles don’t hold up to GTA’s wind shear and ice expansion cycles.

Next step: Evaluate your home’s structural capacity and consider aluminum roofing systems designed specifically for Ontario’s challenging climate conditions.

How much should I budget for roof replacement in Scarborough?

Roofing investment in Scarborough varies significantly based on material choice, home complexity, and timing. The GTA’s competitive market provides options across all price ranges, but quality should drive your decision rather than the lowest cost alone.

Several factors influence pricing in our market: Toronto’s strict waste disposal requirements, permit fees, higher insurance costs for contractors, and the complexity of Scarborough’s diverse housing stock. Post-war bungalows with simple roof lines cost less than the standard multi-level designs in newer subdivisions.

Aluminum roofing represents excellent long-term value despite higher upfront investment. Aluminum systems often prove more economical over time when you factor in energy savings, reduced maintenance, and extended lifespan in our harsh climate. Interlock Metal Roofing systems particularly excel in cost-effectiveness due to their durability and performance in Ontario conditions.

Seasonal timing affects pricing—spring sees premium rates due to winter damage repairs, while late fall offers competitive pricing as contractors maintain crews during slower periods. However, avoid rushed installations during poor weather that compromise quality.

When planning your budget for roof replacement, it’s crucial to obtain detailed quotes that include permits, waste removal, and warranties—plan for contingencies, especially in homes over 30 years old where decking repairs may be needed. Consider financing options for premium materials that provide superior long-term value.

When is the optimal time for roof replacement in Scarborough?

Late August through October provides ideal conditions for Scarborough roofing projects. Temperatures remain moderate, rainfall typically decreases, and you’ll avoid spring’s unpredictable weather and summer’s extreme heat. This timing also offers better contractor availability and competitive pricing as demand moderates after peak summer.

Toronto’s construction season constraints mean quality contractors book solid through May and July, making fall scheduling advantageous. Aluminum roofing installations benefit from moderate temperatures that allow proper thermal expansion calculations and optimal working conditions for precision installation. This availability will ensure you’re not rushed into a decision.

Winter work is possible but challenging. Temperatures below -10 °C complicate installations and may void some material warranties. However, quality contractors like those installing Interlock Metal Roofing systems have techniques for winter emergency work when necessary.
Spring (April-May) brings high demand from winter damage discoveries, creating scheduling challenges and premium pricing. Many Scarborough homeowners find ice dam damage in March, creating urgent repair needs.

Planning timeline: Book quality contractors 8-12 weeks ahead during peak season. Complex projects involving structural work or heritage approvals need 3-4 months’ lead time. Allow additional time for manufacturing aluminum roofing systems requiring precise measurements and custom fabrication.

Weather strategy: Monitor Environment Canada forecasts and maintain flexible scheduling. Quality contractors prioritize proper installation conditions over rushed timelines.

A perfect fit for the exterior styling of our home

Scarborough, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

Hello Dave,

I’m writing to you on behalf of my wife, Lillian, and myself to express our appreciation and satisfaction with the installation of the aluminum roofing that you arranged to have done. It is a perfect fit for the exterior styling of our home and creates a very favourable and unique compliment to its architecture. We have had several of our neighbour comment on it, and express how attractive it is. I have explained to them that not only does the roof look good, it is also beneficial in many other ways – resistance to rusting, better insulation and cooling of the house, anti-varmint proof, etc. I also tell them about your 50-year transferable warranty that certainly adds to the resale value of our house.

I also want to express our complete satisfaction with the installers – they were in every way courteous, conscientious, and professional with not only the work they did; but with the cleanup after the work was done, and in their conversations with Lil and myself. I respect the full hours they laboured in an area of the house I would never attempt to venture, Luckily the days weren’t too sweltering.

In closing, let me say that I would definitely recommend your product and services to anyone contemplating the replacement of their home’s roof. If you could send me a few descriptive brochures and your business card, J will make sure they are properly utilized.

We wish you and your staff a successful future in this business, and hope we can meet again.

BTW, if you would like to photograph the workmanship, please feel free to come over.

Our best regards

We have been through a few storms since the installation, and they were bad, however, we actually heard no noise from the pounding rains, which I was concerned as the roofing is aluminum

Mississauga, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

I would first apologize for such a delay in this letter. As you were aware, when we spoke to you, we had just purchased our house, and we’re still in the process of continuing with additional modifications, including the installation of your companies INTERLOCK ROOFING SYSTEM, We have had the new roof for the past six months, and I am astounded that so few people have taken advantage of such a roofing design. We have been through a few storms since the installation, and they were bad, however, we actually heard no noise from the pounding rains, which I was concerned as the roofing is aluminum.

I must also add that your staff was outstanding. The fact that I am a police officer meant that some mornings I was not up as bright and early as your staff. They, however, were very obliging in working on another area of the roof, until after I had awakened. I never did hear them up on the roof. They were also very meticulous in ensuring all of the leftover debris was cleaned up.

In closing, I can only hope that your company somehow reaches a lot more homeowners, as your system of roofing is not only exceptionally sound, safe and pleasing to the eve, more importantly, it is ecological, thus saving some of our near depleted natural resources.

All the best to you and your endeavours. And again thank you for helping us to purchase a roofing system which will be with us for many, many years to come.

The Interlocking roof really has added to the attractiveness of the house

Peterborough, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

We wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our new Interlock Roof. The initial information session, the quality of product and workmanship and follow up has been excellent. In the low key introductory session, we received sufficient Information to make an informed decision. With the range of colours and styles, we had several options that would have worked for our house. We were convinced that this product would have long-lasting benefits to the appearance of our house.

The men who worked on our house, as well as being friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about the product, worked quickly. It was really appreciated how they tidied as they went along. They kept us informed about the progress of their work and at the end did a walkthrough of the whole job. They explained how to go on the roof safely to do any future chimney work for example.

The Interlocking roof really has added to the attractiveness of the house. It looks smart and has drawn interest from neighbours and passers-by.

We like the way the interlocking roof has become an integral part of the eaves troughing and protects the fascia boards which will provide extra strength and protection.

Already we notice that the autumn leaves are sliding away – and the squirrels too! We anticipate that snow and ice will act in the same way.

We look forward to a roof that will continue to look good over time and provide Increased protection and insulation from the elements.

We would have no hesitation in recommending your roof to others.

Yours Truly,

The roof finished on time and within budget

Peterborough, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

Dear Dave,

Wow, what a roof… it is everything you said it would be and more.
I just returned from vacation to find the roof finished on time and within budget. In addition, our tenants Cogeco Cable are very pleased also.

As you know, I was looking for a long-term solution, and your product fit the bill perfectly.

Thank you again for taking the time to explain the various differences between all the roofing products available.
Your experience in the industry sure made the decision-making process much more straightforward.

The aluminum solution was not inexpensive; however, the quality and longevity of your product more than makeup for the additional cost.
Dave, we have a number of commercial properties that we manage, and you will be my first call when we have to replace the roof on any of those properties.

Sincerely,
David M.

Most home purchases are made on emotion rather than based on logic

Toronto, Ontario

★★★★★ 5/5

Most home purchases are made on emotion rather than based on logic. Purchasers often fail to recognize basic elements of a house that would have an enormous effect on their purchase and liability. That’s why people should engage the services of a certified Home Inspector. Some time later a homeowner’s logic seems to kick in. when it comes time for one of those basic home elements to be repaired, replaced or upgraded; like a roofing system.

A roof provides some limited mechanical protection against falling objects, but the primary purpose of a roof is to keep the building and its occupants protected from rain, snow, sun, wind and all the combinations of these. Further, roofs may also add to, or detract from, the appearance of a building. As a Home Inspector, I have seen them all — the good, the bad and the ugly. That is why, when it came time to replace the roof on my own home, it was important to me to have a top quality, effective, affordable and good looking roofing system that I would not have to worry about again for anything – ever. That is why I took a serious interest in INTERLOCK. It was only logical.

I can say with some certitude, that this is the last house that my family and I will ever own. It is here that my wife and I plan to enjoy our reclining years. I did not want to have to worry about replacing something like my roof every 10 to 20 years. It’s only logical to do it once.

Now, I must admit that when I first saw the dollar value of the installed Interlock roof, I was taken aback. There is no question, this is a major investment. Yet, since it was installed over my existing roof, I saved the cost of having to have the old roof stripped off. Furthermore, there are the additional savings of never having to put on, or strip off any future roofs. For that matter, I will never again have the worry and stress of getting another roof. Over time, I feel that I am well ahead of the game, and I have no regrets about my choice of Interlock.

INTERLOCK has definitely added to the esthetic appeal of our home, and increased its market value. The Interlock Lifetime warranty with a 50 year transferable non-prorated limited warranty will give us another level of comfort when we eventually do sell our home. A warranty like that causes a reality check on ones own mortality — the Interlock Roof may very well outlast us! Only time will tell.

It’s easy to understand why I can spend my time now, inspecting other peoples’ roofs, and never worry again about my own. Interlock may not be for everyone — too bad – for everyone. But then again, from a Home Inspectors’ point of view, maybe it’s not so bad after all!

Sincerely,
Graham Brown
