A realtor, who lives down the street, told us we have just increased the value of our house

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.

Stellarton Metal Roofing Done Right—Excellent Product and Professional Installation by Maritime Permanent Roofing

The roof that made it easy to smile in Stellarton

Here are a few words from a satisfied customer. It’s a whole story about what it means to get it right the first time.

Simple. Direct. And quietly powerful.

In Stellarton, Nova Scotia, where people don’t waste words, “very satisfied” means more than five stars. It implies trust was earned, promises were kept, and now, a roof overhead won’t need replacing in 10 or even 30 years.

This isn’t just a home improvement story. It’s a complete transformation, a new chapter for this homeowner.

A place built on grit, coal, and community, where every home is part of the story

Stellarton isn’t flashy. It doesn’t need to be.
This small town in Pictou County is built on hard work—from coal mining roots to today’s local businesses and community pride. It sits just a few kilometres from the Northumberland Strait, close enough to feel the salty wind and sharp enough to know what that means for a roof.

The weather here doesn’t ask permission. It just shows up.
Heavy snow in winter. Freeze-thaw cycles in spring. Salt air year-round.

That’s precisely why this homeowner chose black Interlock Metal Slate Roofing Shingles from Maritime Permanent Roofing—not just for looks (though let’s be honest, the curb appeal is undeniable), but for certainty.

This isn't just a roof. It's peace of mind.

The review says it all: excellent product, competent and professional team, and a decision they’re glad they made.

What’s between the lines?
A crew that showed up on time. A property treated with care. A crew that cleaned up, finished strong, and left behind a home that’s stronger for it.

The product itself? That’s where the Interlock system comes in. This roof isn’t just a roof; it’s a fortress. It checks every box with a lifetime warranty, a 4-way interlocking design that resists hurricane-force winds, and solar compatibility that futureproofs the home.

And yet—it’s not about specs. It’s about how you feel when the job’s done. When you stand in your yard and look up, knowing you’ll never have to think about your roof again.

That’s absolute satisfaction.

Built for Stellarton. Built to last.

In a town that’s seen generations pass down homes, tools, and work ethic, permanence matters.

A black Interlock metal roof isn’t a flashy trend—it’s a legacy upgrade. It respects the past while preparing for the future, and in a place like Stellarton, that balance means something.

So here’s to a delighted customer, a testament to our commitment to excellence.
To a roof that won’t need second-guessing.
And to a community where word-of-mouth is everything—this review, my experience, says it all.

Looking for a roof you’ll never need to replace? In Stellarton, it starts here.

Top Roofing FAQs for Stellarton, Nova Scotia Homeowners

When the Atlantic Ocean is your neighbour and Hurricane Juan is your memory, these are the questions that matter.

What roofing materials perform best in Stellarton’s coastal and inland climate?

Stellarton may not be directly on the coast, but it still feels the Atlantic’s influence. The combination of salt-laced air, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles makes material choice critical.

Heavy-gauge aluminum metal roofing, like the Interlock system we exclusively install, is ideal for Nova Scotia. It won’t rust like steel, crack like asphalt, or decay like wood. Its four-way interlocking design means high-wind resilience—a major benefit during Nor’easters and spring gales.

Asphalt shingles, while more affordable upfront, typically last just 12–18 years here. That’s because temperature fluctuations and moisture degrade them faster in the Maritimes. Synthetic materials are improving, but few match metal in durability or energy performance.

Actionable tip: If you’re replacing a roof in Stellarton, ask for materials tested against coastal corrosion and designed to resist snow load and wind uplift. Interlock’s aluminum system meets all three.

Nova Scotia’s roofing season runs from April through early November, when temperatures are steady and the chance of snow is minimal. The sweet spot tends to be May–June and September–October—warm, dry days and moderate demand.

Late fall can bring early frosts and project delays, while peak summer often means higher costs and wait times due to demand.

Aluminum roofing, like Interlock’s, can be installed later in the season than asphalt because it doesn’t rely on heat-activated adhesives. But even then, a week of rain or wind can push timelines.

Next step: Book your install 2–4 months ahead. Plan flexibility around weather, and work with a team that actively monitors local conditions and won’t rush installation when it’s unsafe.

Stellarton falls under the jurisdiction of Pictou County municipal regulations, not HRM. That said, most full roof replacements do not require a formal permit unless structural modifications are involved (e.g., adding dormers, changing pitch).

If you’re switching materials (like asphalt to metal), it’s smart to double-check with the Town of Stellarton Building Inspection Office to ensure compliance with fire codes and snow load standards.

Your contractor should handle all permitting and inspection details, but you as the homeowner are ultimately responsible for compliance.

Next step: Confirm with your roofer whether a permit is needed. A professional company like Maritime Permanent Roofing handles all code requirements and local approvals for you.

Choosing a roofer in Nova Scotia comes down to trust and track record. You want:

  • At least 10+ years of experience with metal roofing
  • WSIB and liability insurance
  • Proof of training with specific materials (e.g., Interlock-certified installers)
  • Local references in Stellarton or Pictou County
  • A written warranty on workmanship and materials

Red flags include vague quotes, no physical address, or sub-contracting out the entire job. In coastal or mixed climates like ours, roofing is too important to gamble on.

Next step: Ask your roofer how they handle high wind fastening, salt exposure, and ice dam protection. Their answers should be detailed, not generic.

Yes—but with limits. Most home insurance in Stellarton covers sudden storm-related damage, like wind, hail, or fallen tree limbs. However, damage from wear-and-tear, age, or neglect is usually excluded.

Salt damage, curling shingles, or slow leaks may be denied unless you’ve documented proper maintenance. Some policies may even charge higher premiums for older or unreinforced roofs.

Pro tip: A new metal roof (especially with a lifetime warranty) may help reduce your premium or make you eligible for better coverage terms.

Next step: Review your policy. Ask your broker about your roof’s “life expectancy clause,” and keep photo documentation of installation and inspections.

Nova Scotia’s climate shortens the lifespan of many roofing materials:

  • Asphalt shingles: 12–18 years (vs. 25+ on paper)
  • Steel roofing: 20–35 years (risk of corrosion if not properly coated)
  • Interlock aluminum roofing: 50+ years, with little to no maintenance

The freeze-thaw cycles and spring dampness in Stellarton accelerate wear. Asphalt cracks, steel rusts, and ice dams wreak havoc.

Actionable tip: If your roof is over 15 years old, start budgeting for replacement—especially if it’s showing signs of moss, curling, or granule loss.

Proper attic ventilation is essential for energy efficiency, moisture control, and roof longevity in Stellarton.

Inadequate airflow causes:

  • Condensation, which leads to mold and rot
  • Ice dams, from uneven snow melt
  • Overheating, which shortens roof lifespan

Nova Scotia code generally requires 1 sq ft of ventilation for every 300 sq ft of attic space, split between soffit (intake) and ridge (exhaust) vents. But older homes in Stellarton may need upgrades to meet these modern standards.

Next step: Ask your contractor to inspect your attic ventilation as part of any roof project. A new roof won’t perform as it should if airflow isn’t right.

Absolutely. Ice dams are one of the most common and costly winter roofing problems in Pictou County.

They form when warm attic air melts the snow on your roof. The meltwater runs to the colder eaves and freezes—creating a dam. Water backs up under shingles and leaks into ceilings and walls.

Solutions include:

  • Proper insulation and ventilation
  • Ice and water membrane installed under roofing near eaves
  • Snow guards in problem areas

Next step: If you’ve had leaks or ice buildup before, request ice dam protection upgrades when replacing your roof. Interlock’s aluminum system works with built-in membranes to stop dams before they start.

Warranty coverage matters—especially in a harsh climate like Stellarton’s.

Look for:

  • Lifetime manufacturer warranty (like Interlock offers on their aluminum shingles)
  • Minimum 10-year workmanship guarantee from your contractor
  • Coverage that includes coastal corrosion and wind damage

Many warranties look great on paper, but exclude the very things Nova Scotians deal with—salt, high winds, freeze-thaw damage.

Next step: Get a copy of both warranties in writing and make sure your roofer is registered with the manufacturer (a requirement for warranty validation).

It’s not just about durability. It’s about peace of mind.

Interlock’s heavy-gauge aluminum roofing is built to withstand everything Nova Scotia throws at it—wind, salt, snow, rain, and sun. It’s engineered for efficiency, designed for curb appeal, and backed by a lifetime warranty that removes “roofing” from your to-do list forever.

It also adds resale value, reduces insurance risk, and plays well with solar panels.

Next step: If you want this to be the last roof you ever buy, reach out to Maritime Permanent Roofing, the exclusive Interlock installer in Atlantic Canada. We’re local, experienced, and ready to help you make a decision you’ll never second-guess.

Professional, Friendly, and Fast Roofing Service in Prospect Bay, Nova Scotia – Highly Recommend Maritime Permanent Roofing

The Last Roof in Prospect Bay

In some places, you don’t just live—you grow roots. Prospect Bay, Nova Scotia, is one of those places.

It hugs the Atlantic Ocean with a steady grace, about a 30-minute drive west of Halifax. Here, the salt air is constant, the wind can whip up without much warning, and the rains—when they come—speak in the language of storms.

So, when a homeowner in Prospect Bay decides it’s time for a new roof, they’re not thinking of shingles. They’re thinking: How do I protect everything I’ve built? And more importantly, who can I trust to do it right?

Enter Maritime Permanent Roofing. And Chris.

And, yes, it looks beautiful—especially in black slate, echoing the granite cliffs that define the Nova Scotian shoreline.

Top Roofing FAQs for Prospect Bay, Nova Scotia Homeowners

When the Atlantic Ocean is your neighbour and Hurricane Juan is your memory, these are the questions that matter.

What roofing materials perform best in Prospect Bay’s coastal climate?

Living in Prospect Bay means facing salt-laden air, driving Atlantic winds, and relentless freeze-thaw cycles. Not all roofing materials are up to the challenge.

Aluminum metal roofing—like Interlock’s slate-style shingles—is the top performer here. It resists corrosion from salty fog, won’t crack during freeze-thaw swings, and is rated for winds well above 180 km/h. Its sleek interlocking design also sheds snow and rain with ease.

Asphalt shingles, though more budget-friendly upfront, typically last only 12–18 years in Prospect Bay due to rapid deterioration from salt air and temperature swings. Steel roofing, unless properly coated, is vulnerable to rust. Synthetic options (like composite slate) are growing in popularity, but long-term coastal performance is still being proven.

Next Step: If your home is within 5 km of the ocean—and most in Prospect Bay are—request marine-grade aluminum and ask for warranty coverage that includes coastal exposure.

Nova Scotia’s roofing season generally runs from late April through early November, when average temperatures stay above 5°C and the risk of snow or heavy fog is lower.

May to September offers the best weather windows. However, high demand during this peak season means you’ll pay a premium and face longer wait times. Spring and fall can be cost-effective, but be ready to adjust for rain or wind delays—especially near the coast.

Metal roofing is more flexible in terms of temperature, so installations can extend later into fall if needed.

Next Step: Book your contractor 2–4 months in advance, especially for metal or custom projects. Ask about contingency plans for weather delays and how they handle sudden storms—a must in Atlantic Canada.

Yes, for most full roof replacements, HRM requires a building permit, especially when changing materials or repairing structural elements. Simple re-shingling over one layer may not need a permit, but always confirm.

Permits are typically obtained by your contractor, but you’re responsible as the property owner to ensure compliance. Violating permit rules could cause issues if you sell or need to file an insurance claim.

Nova Scotia’s building code outlines wind uplift resistance, ice barrier requirements, and proper ventilation standards—especially crucial in coastal zones like Prospect Bay.

Next Step: Confirm in writing that your roofer will handle permits. You can contact HRM Customer Service at 311 to check if your project needs one.

Not all contractors are equal, especially along the coast. Look for a roofer who:

  • Has at least 10 years of experience in Nova Scotia, preferably with homes in Prospect Bay
  • Uses marine-grade materials and stainless steel fasteners
  • Offers written warranties on workmanship and materials
  • Can show photos and references from local installations

Red flags include unmarked trucks, vague quotes, or high-pressure sales tactics. Beware of “coastal packages” that don’t define what’s included. Ask about high-wind anchoring, salt spray corrosion resistance, and crew safety plans—especially on steep waterfront homes.

Next Step: Interview at least two contractors. Ask them, “What would you do differently for a roof within 1 km of saltwater?” Their answer should be specific and confident.

Storm-related damage (wind, fallen trees, hail) is generally covered—assuming your roof was in good condition. Damage from long-term salt exposure, neglect, or wear-and-tear is typically excluded.

That means insurers might deny claims if shingles were curling, flashing was loose, or corrosion was evident before a storm hit.

Storm damage claims should be filed within 48–72 hours, and insurers often require professional documentation and photos.

Next Step: Review your policy’s “roof” and “windstorm” sections with your broker. After a major storm, have your roof inspected—even if there’s no visible damage. It’s easier to document early and build a case than to scramble months later.

Standard manufacturer estimates don’t always hold up here. In Prospect Bay, you can expect:

  • Asphalt shingles: 12–18 years (despite 25–30 year warranties)
  • Steel roofing: 20–35 years (if coated properly)
  • Aluminum metal roofing: 50+ years (and still going strong)

The coastal climate accelerates wear: wind-driven salt spray corrodes fasteners, ice dams stress shingles, and fog keeps everything damp.

To stretch lifespan, regular maintenance is key. Clean gutters, remove moss, inspect flashing, and re-caulk penetrations as needed.

Next Step: If your roof is over 12 years old, consider a full inspection before another winter. Catching small issues early can save thousands.

Without proper ventilation, Prospect Bay attics become breeding grounds for condensation, mold, and structural rot—especially in tightly sealed modern homes.

Ventilation regulates attic temperature and moisture. It prevents warm air from melting snow unevenly, which causes ice dams, and it allows moist indoor air to escape before it condenses on cold surfaces.

The HRM code requires a minimum 1:300 venting ratio. Ridge vents, soffit vents, and baffles should work together to create even airflow.

Next Step: During a re-roof, ask your contractor to inspect your attic and ventilation system. Upgrading your airflow now costs far less than replacing soggy insulation or moldy sheathing later.

Ice dams form when warm attic air melts snow on the roof, which refreezes at the colder eaves. In Prospect Bay’s freeze-thaw winters, this is a common and damaging issue.

To prevent them:

  • Ensure attic insulation is up to code and evenly distributed
  • Maintain balanced ventilation
  • Install ice-and-water shield membranes along eaves during roof replacement
  • Keep gutters clean so melting snow can drain properly

If an ice dam forms, avoid DIY chipping—it can damage shingles. Instead, use calcium chloride deicer in socks or call a roofing pro.

Next Step: If you’re re-roofing, request extended waterproof membrane protection along the eaves and valleys. It’s a small cost that saves thousands in ceiling damage.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Lunenburg, Nova Scotia Homeowners

What’s the best roofing system for Lunenburg’s coastal climate?

Living in Lunenburg means dealing with salty ocean air, intense winds, fog, heavy snow, and the occasional hurricane. A roof here needs to do more than just look good—it needs to resist corrosion, shed snow, and stay put in strong winds. That’s where Interlock Aluminum Roofing shines. It’s made for coastal environments, unlike steel roofing, which can rust, or asphalt shingles, which wear down quickly under salty conditions.
Asphalt shingles are inexpensive up front but don’t last long near the sea. They’re prone to curling, cracking, algae, and wind damage, especially in coastal towns like Lunenburg. Interlock’s aluminum system comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, is wind-resistant, and doesn’t absorb moisture—making it a far better long-term investment.

No. Aluminum doesn’t rust, which is crucial in Lunenburg’s salt-rich air. Steel roofing systems—even galvanized or coated—can corrode over time. Interlock roofs are made from marine-grade aluminum and finished with a protective Alunar Coating designed specifically for longevity in Atlantic Canada’s coastal conditions.

Composite roofing mimics the look of slate but is still prone to UV fading, cracking, and shorter lifespans in harsh climates. Interlock’s Slate Shingle profile delivers the same look with better durability and resistance to wind, salt, and snow. Plus, it’s lighter and easier to maintain.
Lunenburg has many historic homes where natural slate fits the style—but it’s very heavy, expensive, and can crack under freeze-thaw cycles common in Nova Scotia. Interlock Slate Shingles offer a lightweight, durable alternative that honors the traditional look without the structural strain or risk of breakage.
Rubber shingles or membranes (like EPDM) are usually reserved for flat or low-slope roofs. In Lunenburg, most homes have pitched roofs, and rubber materials aren’t as attractive or durable for residential use. They can also degrade under UV exposure. Interlock provides architectural style with 50+ years of performance.
Yes. The 4-way interlocking design ensures that each panel connects tightly on all sides, making it one of the most wind-resistant roofing systems available. It’s tested and trusted in high-wind areas—including along the Atlantic coast—where Nor’easters and hurricanes can roll in without warning.

Absolutely. Interlock roofs are coated with heat-reflective Alunar finishes that help reduce heat absorption in the summer while also providing excellent insulation support in winter. That means lower heating and cooling bills year-round, even in Lunenburg’s changing seasons.

Yes. Interlock offers profiles that mimic traditional slate, cedar shake, and tile, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for strength. Homes in Lunenburg’s historic district can benefit from the classic look of slate or shake, with none of the constant maintenance or structural reinforcement needed by heavier materials.

Because it’s made to last, built for salt air, wind, and snow, and it never needs to be replaced. While asphalt and other materials may seem cheaper upfront, they require re-roofing every 10–20 years. Interlock comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, is solar panel–compatible, and keeps its curb appeal for decades. That’s why more and more homeowners in Lunenburg are choosing Interlock—the last roof they’ll ever need.
Lunenburg’s beauty comes with some roofing challenges: ocean air, snow loads, wind, and historic standards. Interlock Metal Roofing is the answer. It’s rust-proof, wind-tough, energy-efficient, and designed to last for life—all while complementing the town’s unique coastal charm.

We needed new roofing after only 13 years

5/5
We needed new roofing after only 13 years. Shingles were worn, and lots of small leaks after a big rain. Although the metal roofing was twice the cost of regular shingles, we decided to go the permanent route. Now when it rains we have no worries and this winter snow will not be an issue either. The 50-year warranty ensures that in 15 years or so, we will not have to re-roof. John the marketing consultant was great to work with, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.
