Calgary Metal Roofing – Durable, Fire-Resistant Protection for Your Home

Calgary, Alberta

★★★★★ 4/5

In Calgary’s Coventry Hills neighborhood, Kevin’s home stands as a testament to resilience and thoughtful planning. Calgary, often called “Cowtown,” is famous for hosting the Calgary Stampede, and it’s also Canada’s sunniest major city, boasting over 330 days of sunshine per year. Beyond its vibrant urban culture, the city experiences unpredictable weather, from strong Chinook winds to severe hailstorms, making durable roofing an essential investment for homeowners.

Back in July 2015, Kevin decided to replace his asphalt shingles with something stronger—the Musket Grey Interlock Slate Metal Roofing System. With growing concerns over fire, wind, and hail, he wanted a long-term roofing solution that could stand up to Calgary’s extreme weather. Over the next nine years, his Interlock roof proved its worth, enduring multiple storms without issue. Even better, his home insurance costs decreased, helping to offset the investment in a high-quality roofing system.

Then came August 2024, when Calgary was hit by a major hailstorm. While Kevin’s roof didn’t suffer any structural damage—no holes or leaks—the hail left dents and compromised the shingle finish, requiring a full replacement. Having already experienced Interlock’s quality, durability, and professional installation, he didn’t hesitate to choose Interlock again. This time, he noticed upgrades to the system, including a stronger underlayment and improved ridge caps, which enhanced both the integrity and curb appeal of his home.

Interlock Metal Roofing is built for Calgary’s climate. It’s high-wind resistant with a 4-way interlocking design, making it tough enough to withstand strong storms. The energy-efficient aluminum reflects heat in the summer and retains warmth in the winter, helping to lower energy bills year-round. It’s also solar-compatible, giving homeowners the flexibility to incorporate solar panels in the future. With a lifetime warranty, Kevin—like so many other homeowners—knows he’ll never have to re-roof again.

Kevin shared his full experience:

When we decided to have our asphalt shingles replaced back in July of 2015 we decided to pursue a metal roofing design to assist in coping with increased fire, wind and hail concerns. Since the original install we have experienced some hail and wind events and our roof appeared to be in good standing over the past nine years We did experience a slight reduction in our home insurance due to the installation of our metal roof (help offset extra cost of this product) However in August 2024 the City of Calgary experienced a major hail event we required a complete replacement of the roofing system (no holes just dents and damage to shingle finish) We decided to return back to Interlock based on past experience with their knowledgeable sale and installation staff We were happy to see Interlock's commitment to continuous improvement with respect to a better underlayment system (wider, sturdier ridge caps) that improve the look and integrity of our home.

Kevin’s story is a reminder that not all roofs are created equal. In a city like Calgary, where the weather can turn extreme in an instant, choosing the right roofing system can make all the difference. With Interlock Metal Roofing, homeowners get the best roof for Calgary’s climate—one that is fire-resistant, impact-resistant, wind-resistant, energy-efficient, and built to last a lifetime.

Prompt, Friendly Service and Immediate Roof Resolution in St. Albert, AB

St. Albert, Alberta

When Service Meets the Prairie Standard: A St. Albert Story

Sometimes the most profound truths hide in the simplest words.

Nice guys friendly. Inspected roof and resolved concern immediately.

That’s it. Five words that capture something deeper than a transaction. Something that speaks to what happens when a company understands that their reputation travels faster than the chinook winds across the Alberta prairie.

The Alberta Difference

This story unfolds in St. Albert, Alberta’s oldest non-fortified community, where Father Albert Lacombe first established his mission along the Sturgeon River in 1861. Just 20 minutes northwest of Edmonton’s bustle, something interesting has been happening for over 160 years.

They call it “Alberta’s Finest City,” and that’s not marketing speak. It’s earned. In a place where winter temperatures can plummet to -17°F and summer heat soars to 84°F—where the Sturgeon River has witnessed everything from flood years to drought—residents don’t suffer fools gladly. They know quality when they see it. And they remember the service when they receive it.

The temperature range here isn’t just weather trivia. It’s a 100-degree span that tests every material, every installation, and every promise a roofing company makes. Traditional asphalt shingles buckle under this thermal assault. They crack in the bitter cold, soften in the prairie heat, and fail when homeowners need them most.

The Moment That Matters

Picture this: A homeowner with a roofing concern. It’s not a crisis—just something nagging at the back of their mind. It keeps you awake during those long Alberta winter nights when the wind howls across the prairie, and you wonder if your roof is up to the challenge.

In most places, this story would unfold differently: voicemail tag, scheduling delays, and a rushed inspection by someone who’s already thinking about their next appointment.

Not here. Not with Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd.

The crew showed up—not just on time—they showed up ready. They inspected, diagnosed, and resolved the issue immediately.
No upselling. No complications. No drama.
Just competent in meeting concerns and solving them on the spot.

The Science of Permanent Solutions

What makes this story remarkable isn’t just the service—it’s what that service protects. Those Black Interlock Slate Metal Shingles aren’t just covering this home; they’re ending a cycle.

St. Albert’s brutal climate chews through traditional roofing. The freeze-thaw cycles, the UV exposure during those brilliant prairie summers, the weight of snow loading during Alberta’s legendary winters—a proving ground that separates the temporary from the permanent.

Interlock’s four-way interlocking design doesn’t just resist these forces. It harnesses them. The system moves with thermal expansion and contraction instead of fighting it. It sheds snow and ice instead of accumulating it. It reflects summer heat instead of absorbing it.
The lifetime warranty isn’t marketing bravado. Its physics is backed by engineering, tested by geography, and proven by decades of Alberta weather.

What Happened Here

A homeowner made a decision that transcended roofing materials. They chose permanence over temporary fixes. They invested in a system that would outlast not just the next storm but also the next owner, possibly the next generation.
And when they had a concern—because even the best systems require professional eyes—they discovered something equally valuable: a company that stands behind its work with the same integrity that built this Métis settlement into Alberta’s second-largest city. Our commitment to customer service means we’re always here to address your concerns, no matter how big or small, with the same dedication and care that went into building your roof.

The Deeper Story

Along the Sturgeon River, where Douglas Cardinal’s architectural masterpiece St. Albert Place curves to echo the water’s flow, and where Father Lacombe Chapel still stands as Alberta’s oldest building, residents understand something fundamental about value. They know the importance of community, building things to last, and investing in quality. At Interlock, we share these values and are proud to be a part of the St. Albert community.

It’s not about the cheapest option. It’s about the right choice.
It’s not about promises. It’s about performance.
It’s not about selling. It’s about solving.

That customer review tells a bigger story than five words should be able to contain. It’s about what happens when a company understands that its work becomes part of the landscape—literally and figuratively—of communities that have been building things to last for over a century and a half.

Homeowners expect their investments to endure in St. Albert, where the Red Willow trails connect neighbourhoods, and the Botanic Park showcases what grows beautifully in this challenging climate. They expect service that matches the standard Father Lacombe set when he built the first bridge across the Sturgeon River in 1862—the first in Canada west of the Great Lakes.

Some companies chase quarterly numbers, while others chase lifetime value. The difference shows up in moments like these when a simple concern is resolved immediately by people who understand that their reputation is only as strong as their last interaction.

That’s the St. Albert standard. That’s the Interlock difference. That’s what happens when engineering meets integrity on the Canadian prairie.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for St. Albert, AB Homeowners

Living in St. Albert means experiencing some of Canada’s most extreme weather conditions. From Alberta’s notorious “Hailstorm Alley” to bone-chilling winters with temperatures plunging to -17°F, then soaring to 84°F during prairie summers—all while enduring chinook winds that can shift temperatures by 20 degrees in hours—your roof faces challenges that would destroy lesser systems. As residents of Alberta’s oldest non-fortified community, just 20 minutes northwest of Edmonton, St. Albert homeowners understand quality and permanence. These frequently asked questions address the roofing realities specific to our demanding prairie climate.

How do roofing materials perform in St. Albert's extreme temperature swings?

St. Albert experiences one of Canada’s most punishing temperature ranges, with annual swings of over 56°C—from brutal winters that plunge to -27°C to scorching summers that soar to 29°C. This extreme thermal cycling wreaks havoc on traditional roofing materials, stressing them with constant expansion and contraction that leads to cracking, warping, and premature failure.

Asphalt shingles are especially vulnerable in these conditions. In Alberta’s harsh climate, they often last only 10 years, compared to 15–20 years in more temperate regions. Freeze-thaw cycles make shingles brittle and prone to cracking, while the summer heat softens them—making them easy targets for even minor hail impacts.

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. offers the ultimate solution to St. Albert’s extreme climate. Our four-way interlocking design, engineered specifically to handle wide temperature swings without compromising structural integrity, reflects our commitment to protecting your home. The metal panels expand and contract naturally with temperature shifts, maintaining watertight seals through our innovative interlocking system—giving you a roof built to endure.

Where traditional materials resist thermal movement and eventually fail, Interlock works with Alberta’s climate, not against it. The continuous interlocking barrier eliminates weak points where conventional roofing often breaks down during rapid temperature changes. And with our lifetime warranty, your investment is protected against thermal cycling damage—a must for homes in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, where extreme weather isn’t the exception, but the rule.

What hail resistance do I need for properties in Hailstorm Alley?

St. Albert sits squarely in Alberta’s “Hailstorm Alley,” the epicentre for damaging hailstorms in Canada. Research shows that installing impact-resistant roofing can reduce hail damage by up to 15 times, and in high-risk hail zones like ours, it pays for itself eight times over. With hailstones reaching grapefruit size and hitting the ground at 130 kilometres per hour, standard roofing materials cannot survive.

Recent Alberta storms demonstrate the severity of our hail exposure. The August 2024 Calgary hailstorm caused $2.8 billion in damage, making it the second-costliest disaster in Canadian history. The 2020 Calgary storm resulted in $1.5 billion in damages, while the 2019 Edmonton storm caused $89 million in losses. Alberta has experienced at least one major hailstorm yearly for the past two decades, resulting in over $10 billion in insured losses.

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. offers Class 4 impact resistance—the highest level of protection against hail damage. Our interlocking metal systems are engineered to withstand extreme hail impacts that shatter asphalt shingles and damage other roofing materials. The continuous metal surface deflects hailstones rather than absorbing impact energy, preventing the penetration and cracking that plague traditional materials.

For St. Albert homeowners, Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd.’s superior hail resistance translates to more than just peace of mind during Alberta’s severe storm seasons. It means eliminated insurance claims, reduced deductibles, and a significant return on investment. Many insurance companies offer premium discounts for impact-resistant roofing, recognizing the reduced claim probability associated with our systems.

How do chinook winds affect roofing systems in the Edmonton Metro area?

Chinook winds are a defining feature of Alberta weather. They can raise temperatures by 20 degrees in mere hours while bringing extreme wind conditions. These warm, dry winds rushing down the Rocky Mountains can reach gale-force speeds and create sudden, dramatic pressure differentials that test roofing systems to their limits.

The rapid temperature changes associated with chinooks create additional thermal stress beyond normal seasonal variations. A roof might experience freezing conditions in the morning, followed by chinook-driven warmth in the afternoon, then return to cold temperatures by evening. This accelerated thermal cycling compounds the stress on roofing materials and connections.

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd.’s four-way interlocking design provides superior wind resistance to conventional roofing systems. Our interlocking mechanism creates a continuous barrier that distributes wind loads evenly across the entire roof surface, eliminating the uplift vulnerability common with individual shingle installations.

The thermal properties of our metal systems also handle chinook-induced temperature fluctuations more effectively than traditional materials. Metal’s rapid thermal response means it adjusts to temperature changes without the internal stress buildup that causes cracking in brittle materials. For Edmonton Metropolitan Region properties exposed to these unique wind patterns, Interlock systems provide the reliability and performance needed to withstand Alberta’s most challenging weather.

What snow load requirements apply to residential roofing in Alberta?

Alberta’s continental climate brings heavy snow loads that can stress roofing systems beyond their design limits. The National Building Code 2019 Alberta Edition includes updated snow load calculations to improve structural integrity, ensuring buildings can withstand higher snow loads based on regional weather data and geographical considerations.

St. Albert’s location in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region means dealing with heavy snow accumulation and the additional challenges of freeze-thaw cycles. Ice dams form when heat from the home melts snow on the roof, refreezing gutters and eaves. This ice buildup can force water under roofing materials, causing expensive damage to structures and interior spaces.

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. provides superior snow management through our smooth metal surface and thermal design. Snow slides off our systems more readily than it accumulates, reducing structural load and ice dam formation. The interlocking design eliminates the irregular surfaces where snow typically gathers on traditional roofing materials.

Our metal roofing systems are designed to handle the weight of accumulated snow more effectively than asphalt shingles. The continuous interlocking structure distributes loads evenly, while the inherent strength of metal materials provides superior support. For St. Albert properties dealing with

Alberta’s demanding snow conditions, this combination of load distribution and snow-shedding characteristics provides safety and performance advantages throughout the winter, giving you peace of mind even during the heaviest snowfalls.

When is the best time to schedule roofing projects in Alberta's short construction season?

Alberta’s harsh climate creates a compressed construction season that demands strategic timing for roofing projects. The optimal window typically runs from May through September, but even this period can be interrupted by severe weather events, including hailstorms, heavy rains, and early snowfall.

Our professional installation team will work with you to ensure a smooth process and minimal disruption to your daily life. Traditional roofing materials require specific weather conditions for proper installation. Asphalt shingles cannot be installed below certain temperatures, and wet conditions prevent adequate sealing. These limitations and high contractor demand during the short season often force homeowners to delay essential roof replacements or accept suboptimal installation conditions.

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. offers significant advantages for Alberta’s compressed construction timeline. Compared to traditional materials, our metal systems can be installed in a broader range of weather conditions, extending the effective installation season. The interlocking design doesn’t rely on temperature-sensitive sealants, allowing installation during cooler spring and fall periods when other contractors cannot work.
Planning becomes crucial for St. Albert homeowners.

We recommend scheduling consultations for late spring installation in March-April, ensuring completion before peak storm season. Our efficient installation minimizes weather exposure time, and our specialized Alberta crews understand the urgency of working within prairie weather windows. Early scheduling also ensures access to our installation teams before the seasonal rush affects availability and pricing in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region.

What insurance considerations apply to prairie climate properties in St. Albert?

Alberta’s extreme weather has dramatically impacted insurance costs and coverage availability. Between 2014 and 2024, Alberta’s average annual amount of insurable damages increased by 495 percent, while home insurance premiums rose by 90 percent. Insurance companies now scrutinize roofing materials and maintenance history when setting premiums for prairie climate properties.

Many insurers have implemented hail-specific deductibles that are typically higher than standard home insurance deductibles, particularly after multiple claims. Some policies now include roof and siding limitation endorsements that restrict claim settlements to actual cash value only, significantly reducing payouts for older roofing materials.

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd.’s superior storm resistance can qualify St. Albert properties for insurance premium discounts. Our Class 4 impact-resistant systems and lifetime warranty provide the documentation insurers require to recognize reduced claim probability. Many insurance companies offer specific discounts for impact-resistant roofing, acknowledging the lower risk associated with premium materials.

The lifetime warranty aspect becomes particularly valuable for insurance purposes. While traditional roofing materials depreciate and lose coverage value over time, Interlock systems maintain their protective capability and warranty coverage throughout their operational life. This consistency helps stabilize insurance costs and provides predictable coverage for Edmonton Metropolitan Region properties facing Alberta’s increasing weather severity.

How does energy efficiency factor into roofing choices for continental climate extremes?

Alberta’s continental climate creates unique energy challenges with extreme seasonal variations. Summer cooling loads from 84°F heat waves and extensive winter heating requirements during -17°F cold snaps place enormous demands on residential energy systems. Roof performance directly impacts these energy costs through thermal transfer and air leakage.

Traditional roofing materials often contribute to energy inefficiency through poor thermal performance and air infiltration. Asphalt shingles absorb summer heat, increasing cooling costs, while inadequate sealing allows heated air to escape during winter. The thermal bridging familiar with conventional installations creates energy loss pathways that compound heating and cooling expenses.

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. provides superior energy performance through multiple mechanisms. Our reflective metal surfaces reduce summer heat absorption, lowering cooling costs during Alberta’s intense prairie summers. The continuous interlocking installation eliminates air leakage points, maintains interior temperature control, and reduces heating demands during brutal winter.

Metal’s thermal mass properties also moderate temperature swings, reducing the cycling load on HVAC systems. These efficiency improvements translate to substantial utility cost savings for St. Albert homeowners dealing with Alberta’s energy challenges. Additionally, our systems provide ideal platforms for solar panel installation, enabling renewable energy integration that’s increasingly valuable as utility costs rise across the Edmonton Metropolitan Region.

What maintenance schedules are required for snow load and ice management?

Alberta’s severe winter conditions require proactive maintenance strategies to prevent costly snow loads and ice formation damage. Traditional maintenance approaches often involve dangerous roof access for snow removal, gutter cleaning, and ice dam prevention—activities that become particularly hazardous during prairie winter.

Ice dams pose a significant threat to St. Albert properties. When snow melts from interior heat and refreezes at roof edges, the resulting ice buildup can force water under roofing materials, causing structural damage and interior flooding. Traditional solutions involve heated cables, improved insulation, and regular removal—all requiring ongoing maintenance and expense.

Through superior design and performance, Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. virtually eliminates winter maintenance requirements. Our smooth metal surface promotes natural snow shedding, reducing structural loads and ice dam formation. The continuous interlocking system prevents the water infiltration pathways that cause damage when ice dams form.

The thermal properties of our metal systems also reduce ice dam formation. Unlike asphalt shingles that create irregular heat patterns, metal roofing maintains more consistent surface temperatures that discourage ice accumulation. This maintenance reduction translates to cost savings and safety benefits for Edmonton Metropolitan Region homeowners, eliminating the need for dangerous winter roof access while protecting against Alberta’s most damaging seasonal conditions.

How do I choose a roofing contractor experienced with Alberta's extreme climate challenges?

Selecting a roofing contractor for St. Albert properties requires understanding both prairie climate expertise and Alberta-specific installation requirements. With extreme weather creating unique challenges from hail damage to thermal cycling, experience in our specific conditions becomes crucial for long-term performance.

Verify contractor experience with Alberta’s severe weather conditions, including hail resistance installations and thermal cycling management. Request references from recent Edmonton Metropolitan Region projects, particularly properties that have survived major storms without damage. Check for proper licensing, insurance, and WorkSafe Alberta compliance—essential for protecting homeowners during installation.

Medicine Hat Metal Roofing That Lasts: A Local Story with Lifetime Value

In Medicine Hat—sometimes called “The Gas City”—sunshine is king: over 2,500 hours a year under our prairie sky. But those same clear skies bring blistering sun and ice‑cold winter winds. Our lawns dip toward the South Saskatchewan River, Finlay Bridge spans its banks with century‑old steel pride, and the city pulses with echoes of clay‑works industry in places like the Medalta pottery site. This is the backdrop for the transformation story you are about to read.

These homeowners—travelling when their roof needed attention—had two worries: rain during install, and a roof that wouldn’t last. Interlock Alberta stepped in as more than contractors. They became local guides to permanence.

Despite a few Montana‑style showers they worked around, rain-slipped schedules didn’t slip. Yorman and Kevin showed up with clear communication. When questions came, they weren’t brushed aside—they were answered. The result isn’t just a Colonial Brown Interlock Metal Slate shingle roof; it’s peace of mind.

When a Roof Becomes a Promise

Medicine Hat winters drop as low as –16 °C (even –31 °C recorded), spring and fall shuffle rain through about 25 days a year, and hail can hit hard under blue skies . What matters most here is scale: a roof that can stand fire‑resistant, hail‑resistant Class 4 impact‑tested shingles, defended by 4‑way interlocking seams, with a Cool‑Roof rating for harsh UV and summer energy savings.

But also: a lifetime warranty that even transfers if you sell—because permanence in a community like this is more than bragging rights: it’s generational value.

The Human Story

When you drive past the Saamis Teepee—the world’s tallest teepee—it invites reflection—but so should your roof. This isn’t about shingles; it’s about sweaters on the porch, barbeque smoke on summer evenings, and the quiet reassurance that under all that copper‑tone gloss, there’s nothing to fix, nothing to worry about—ever again. That’s the story behind the roof. The homeowners didn’t just get coverage—they got professionals who pivoted around their travel schedule. They got installation in rain so the finish line was real. They got Yorman and Kevin, down to earth, skilled, human. And they got a roof that doesn’t just look amazing—it earns trust.

Expertise You Can Always See

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. isn’t new to Medicine Hat—they built each roof to endure sun‑driven fading, snow slides, energy loss, and high‑wind prairie storms. Each Colonial Brown Interlock slate panel is designed for permanence: fire safe, hail safe, transferable, solar ready, wind‑tough and beautiful—all on a CRRC‑rated platform.

A Roof That Anchors Community Trust

This city, with its clay‑industry origins and modern arts center, thrives on continuity. Just like the annual Exhibition & Stampede, riding wild in late July, or the cozy galleries at the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre, Medicine Hat cherishes reliability and lasting architecture. So your home deserves the same.

So when someone in Medicine Hat searches “Medicine Hat metal roofing,” they’re looking for proven durability in our harsh climate, local reliability, and installers who treat your schedule—not just their own deadlines—with respect. They want that lifetime warranty, confidence that wind, hail, sun, snow won’t win. They want a story they can believe.

That’s exactly the kind of story this homeowner lived—and told.

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a celebration of a roof that’s built once—and done. Interlock delivers permanence. And in Medicine Hat’s sunlit horizon, that means something real.

Roofing Questions Medicine Hat Homeowners Ask

Can a Roof Really Handle Medicine Hat’s Extreme Weather?

With over 2,500 hours of sun each year, sudden hailstorms, snow-packed winters, and chinook winds, roofing in Medicine Hat is a challenge. Homeowners often ask:
“Will my roof stand up to all of it—without leaking, cracking, or fading?”

Interlock Metal Roofing is engineered for Alberta’s climate—tested to Class 4 impact resistance for hail, fire-resistant, and secured with a 4-way interlocking design that holds tight even in high winds. Rain or snow? It sheds both. Sunshine? Our Cool Roof-rated finishes reflect UV and help manage indoor temps. One roof, built for every season.

Is This the Last Roof I’ll Ever Need?

Let’s face it: no one wants to re-roof every 12–15 years like with asphalt. So it’s no surprise homeowners ask:
“Will this be the final roof I ever install?”

That’s the core promise of Interlock—permanence. Our lifetime limited warranty, transferable to new owners, means you’re not just roofing for today—you’re protecting your investment for decades. Many Medicine Hat families choose Interlock because it’s a once-and-done solution.

Will It Help Lower My Energy Bills in Summer and Winter?

With our blistering prairie summers and subzero winters, energy efficiency isn’t a luxury—it’s survival. One of the most common questions is: “Can a roof actually help keep my home cooler or warmer?”

Yes. Interlock’s reflective, CRRC-rated coatings and metal composition reduce solar heat gain in summer, while tight seams and snow-shedding properties help in winter. That’s year-round comfort with less strain on your HVAC.

What About Maintenance? Will I Be Climbing Ladders Every Fall?

“I just want something low-maintenance.”
Medicine Hat homeowners are busy—many ask: “Will I have to worry about moss, leaks, or snow build-up?”

Interlock roofs are designed to shed snow naturally, resist moss and mildew, and stay beautiful with little to no upkeep. Our panels don’t crack, curl, or peel. It’s not just protection—it’s freedom from weekend chores.

Is Metal Roofing Really Worth the Cost Compared to Asphalt?

Let’s talk money. This is often the toughest question:
“Metal sounds great… but is it worth the price?”

When you factor in the zero re-roofing costs, energy savings, increased resale value, and the fact that it looks stunning decades down the road, the answer becomes clear. Interlock Metal Roofing isn’t an expense—it’s an investment in your home’s longevity, value, and curb appeal.

Is metal roofing environmentally friendly?

Will I ever need to replace my metal roof?

No! Interlock Metal Roofs come with a lifetime warranty, meaning you’ll never have to re-roof again. This makes it a cost-effective investment for Medicine Hat homeowners looking for long-term protection and value.

I’ve had an InterLock roof for 12 years and it looks as good as new. I’m adding a roof over my deck, and needed some posts installed through the roof. One of the InterLock service teams came out this morning and quickly did a great job. I got what I needed and my lifetime warranty remains in effect. Thanks for the great work.

A long term replacement and upgrade to our pine shakes

Calgary, Alberta

★★★★★ 5/5

We recently had a new roof installed in Calgary. We chose the Interlock system as a long term replacement and upgrade to our pine shakes which although maintained a few years ago were showing signs of significant deterioration. Our experience with the interlock office and their installers was great with no significant issues. Work was completed as per the agreed schedule and the workmanship appears to be at a high standard and we are exceptionally happy with the appearance of the new roof. The higher cost may not work for everyone but for various reasons, this was the option we selected. We would recommend Interlock to anyone interested in having a great looking roof that greatly enhances the appearance of our home and promises to provide a long term worry free roofing solution for years to come.

Our roof has survived many hail storms without visible effect

Calgary, Alberta

★★★★★ 5/5

This letter of reference is intended for people considering to re-roof their home or garage.

We moved into our newly built home at the end of 1976 and by 1987 our asphalt shingled roof had deteriorated to the point that replacement was necessary.

We naturally looked for a roof that would last much longer than the old one and settled on aluminum interlocking tiles with a suitable surface finish and color. Aluminum does not rust at the cut edges and the finishing process lets the roof reflect a lot of incident heat in the summer. The tiles are folded at the edges so that the tiles interlock and the aluminum nails with rubber grommets provide a water seal and are invisible.

The surface profile gave the roof a natural pleasing look although the glossy surface has dulled over the last 30 years but still blends in well with the surroundings.

In 2006 we built a garage and wanted to match the roof to the house.
We contracted with Interlock Industries and Mr. Peter Stewart showed us samples of the roof tiles and colors. We believe the product is essentially the same durable material with maybe improved color retention and different cover layers for over top of the wood.

Peter has various roofers available to choose from. Our roofer showed us pictures of various challenging roofs he had completed and during construction I inspected his method and workmanship. I was pleased with his work and attention to detail, although roofing is a slow process if done right. Our simple garage roof was done in two days.

Metal roofs behave differently than asphalt roofs. During warm spells in winter accumulated snow may slide down. This lightens the weight on the roof trusses, so I don’t mind. During heavy rain and hail you can hear the hail hit the roof, however in today’s homes with the thicker thermal insulation in the attic this effect is much reduced. Our roof has survived many hail storms without visible effect while many of our neighbours have had to file claims with their insurance companies for hail damage to their roofs.

We believe in durable materials and construction for our home and these roofs have satisfied our needs. If you want to take a closer look you are most welcome to visit us at [REMOVED FOR PRIVACY]

Kamloops Metal Roofing Review | Outstanding Service and Craftsmanship from Estimate to Installation

Kamloops, BC

Kamloops, British Columbia, is shaped by its river valleys, rugged hills, and an impressive 2,000 hours of sunshine yearly. Just above the winding Nechako Drive, not far from the banks of the South Thompson River, Rob’s home now carries something as enduring as the land it stands on: a Deep Charcoal Interlock Shake Metal Roofing System.

This neighbourhood is more than a quiet hillside—it’s part of a city known for its spirit. Kamloops is proudly called the Tournament Capital of Canada, and whether it’s athletics, arts, or architecture, this community shows up with intention. A home here deserves the same care and attention to performance. That’s exactly what Rob found in his experience with Interlock.

Rob’s 5-Star Review:

From the estimator to the installers, everyone at Interlock has been fantastic to work with, great communication, Vlad and his install team were outstanding, efficient, and take great pride in their workmanship. Highly recommend! Great product, great team, outstanding service.

This isn’t just about metal roofing. It’s about trusting a system that won’t crack, curl, or quit. The Interlock Metal Roofing System delivers what most products promise but can’t: a lifetime of durability, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. In a city where winter winds roll off the mountains and the summer sun hits hard, having a roof that’s wind-resistant, solar-compatible, and built to last isn’t a luxury—it’s thoughtful planning that makes you feel smart and resourceful.

And the best part? Rob will never re-roof again. That’s not just a marketing claim. It’s a testament to the reliability of the Interlock Metal Roofing System—a 4-way interlocking system backed by a lifetime warranty, installed by a team that, as Rob puts it, ‘takes pride in their workmanship.

Your roof is more than just a lid on your house. It’s your first line of defence, a bold statement of style, and—if you choose wisely—the last one you’ll ever need, just like Rob did in Kamloops with the Interlock Metal Roofing System.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Kamloops, BC

What is the best roofing system for Kamloops’ climate?

Kamloops experiences a semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers, cold winters, and high UV exposure year-round. This combination takes a toll on most roofing materials.

Interlock® Metal Roofing is engineered to thrive in Kamloops’ climate. It reflects UV rays to reduce heat buildup, withstands freeze-thaw cycles, sheds snow easily, and resists wind up to 193 km/h (120 mph)—a smart choice in a city known for dramatic seasonal shifts.

How long will my roof last in Kamloops?

Most asphalt roofs in Kamloops last 10–15 years due to UV degradation and thermal cracking. Even synthetic and rubber options top out around 30–50 years with maintenance.

Interlock Metal Roofing comes with a lifetime, non-prorated warranty—so you’ll never re-roof again. The aluminum alloy resists corrosion, cracking, and fading far beyond the lifespan of most traditional materials.

What roofing material stands up best to snow and ice?

Kamloops winters bring snowfall, ice buildup, and freeze-thaw cycles. These conditions can cause leaks, ice dams, and structural stress in weaker roofs. Interlock’s 4-way interlocking panels shed snow naturally and minimize ice damming, keeping your roof dry and secure all winter. Compare this to asphalt and rubber shingles, which often trap snow and can absorb water.

Will a metal roof be too hot in the summer?

Not with Interlock. Unlike dark asphalt shingles that absorb heat, Interlock Metal Roofing reflects sunlight, reducing heat transfer into your home. That means a cooler attic and lower A/C bills, especially during Kamloops’ 30°C+ summer heatwaves.

Is natural slate or synthetic slate a better investment in Kamloops?

Natural slate is beautiful but very heavy, expensive to install, and prone to cracking during Kamloops’ freeze-thaw cycles. Synthetic slate looks good but is still susceptible to UV degradation and thermal distortion over time. Interlock’s slate-style aluminum panels deliver the same curb appeal, without the weight, fragility, or cost—and they’ll hold up for life.

Are rubber shingles or composite roofing good for Kamloops?

Rubber and composite shingles are often marketed as “lifetime” products, but in Kamloops, extreme summer heat and cold winters can cause premature aging. They also tend to absorb heat and may fade or warp under UV exposure. Aluminum, unlike rubber or plastic, won’t degrade in the sun or crack in the cold—making Interlock the superior long-term solution.

What’s better: steel or aluminum for metal roofing in Kamloops?

Steel roofs are popular but can rust over time, especially near the Thompson Rivers where morning dew and moisture are common. Aluminum is naturally rustproof, even in fluctuating temperatures and moisture-rich environments. Interlock uses high-grade, marine-quality aluminum, making it ideal for Kamloops homeowners looking for low-maintenance longevity.

What’s the most environmentally responsible roofing option in Kamloops?

Asphalt shingles generate millions of tons of landfill waste in Canada each year. Most rubber and composite products are petroleum-based and non-recyclable. Interlock roofs are made from up to 95% recycled aluminum and are 100% recyclable at the end of their lifespan—which, frankly, most homeowners will never reach. Plus, they can often be installed directly over your existing roof, reducing landfill waste from tear-offs.

Will a metal roof add value to my Kamloops home?

Yes. Interlock Metal Roofing increases curb appeal, energy efficiency, and resale value. Many buyers are drawn to homes with low-maintenance, lifetime systems—especially in a climate like Kamloops where weather extremes are a concern. Compare that to asphalt, which often becomes a bargaining point for buyers demanding roof replacement credits.

Isn’t metal roofing noisy in the rain?

That’s a myth. When installed correctly with solid sheathing and underlayment—like Interlock’s system—a metal roof is no noisier than any other roofing type, even during Kamloops’ rare heavy rainstorms.

The Final Takeaway for Kamloops Homeowners

In a city with long, dry summers, cold winters, and high UV exposure, roofing materials are tested year-round. Asphalt, rubber, synthetic, and even steel will eventually wear down, crack, or corrode.

Interlock Metal Roofing offers a smarter alternative:

Designed for extreme weather
Backed by a true lifetime warranty
Solar-ready and energy-efficient
Rust-proof and recyclable
Beautiful and low-maintenance

It’s not just a roof. It’s a long-term solution built for the unique climate and character of Kamloops, BC.

★★★★★ 5/5

To whom it may concern, Interlock Industries:

I am writing to boast of my new roof, that I am l 00% satisfied with both the roof itself and the service of installation.

The installers arrived promptly, as they had planned ahead of time. Also, the materials were at the site exactly, so there were no delays; work progressed on schedule. The laborers were courteous, informative and very professional. They were on time in the morning, everyday, and they did not work late, as to be a bother in the evenings.

The roof itself looks fantastic, and I have a very secure peace of mind. With a solid and transferable 50 year guarantee, I have no doubts or worries.

Interlock is a leader in the field of roofing companies, and I am sure this company will be around for a very long time.

No extra noise on a rainy day

West Vancouver, BC

★★★★★ 5/5

I would like to take this time to say thank you for a job well done.

From sales, to project manager, to roofer, the team worked in a highly professional manner. The job was organized efficiently and completed in a timely manner. All materials on completion were taken away within the next day.

Michael’s work was efficient and very well done. I am extremely satisfied with the quality and workmanship of the roof. I particularly like the finishing touches on the roof edges and around the chimney’s flashing. Michael did an excellent job!

My home now has a much better cleaner profile. I am also surprised at how there is no extra noise on a rainy day – and we do have those rainy days here on the west coast. I had actually thought this may be an issue with the home being 80 years old as no extra sound proofing allowable, so am very pleased with the outcome.

Once again thank you for a job well done.

We looked at another house in our small town that had one that was11 years old, looked like it had just been done!

Digby, Nova Scotia

★★★★★ 5/5

So we needed roof repairs after losing a large section of our asphalt shingles went missing. The insurance company offered to basically provide us with a new asphalt roof! It sounded great, but we decided to look around and found Interlock Wasn’t cheap, but the insurance payout made it doable. We looked at another house in our small town that had one that was 11 years old, and it looked like it had just been done! Decided to go for it.

Everyone at the company, from salesperson to manager to the incredible roofing team, was so friendly and professional! Our place is an older home with many roof angles; the job took 17 days. We are so so pleased with the result. Lifetime guarantee, great company, house value has soared, and people are slowing on the street to look at it.

Thanks, Interlock.
