What was involved in this Interlock® Slate roof installation in Toronto, ON?
Interlock installed an Interlock® Slate system in Colonial Brown on a home in Toronto, ON, completed July 13, 2019. The project covered roughly 15 squares of roofing. Sheila and Gordon C. rated the work 5 out of 5 in an independent survey conducted by GuildQuality on August 15, 2019. Likely To Recommend scored 5 out of 5, with the homeowner noting: “At current prices, with NO free snow guards and charging extra for flapper ventsfor kitchen and bathroom, the friend would have to be well-heeled.” The installation was carried out by Interlock Roofing. The roof has been in place 7 years and remains under Interlock's lifetime limited warranty.
At current prices, with NO free snow guards and charging extra for flapper ventsfor kitchen and bathroom, the friend would have to be well-heeled. Your roof nowcosts almost 4 TIMES the cost of an asphalt one. A yacht club I belong to installeda new roof about 2 years ago, and I was on the decision-making committee . They startedwanting asphalt, but ended up getting metal, largely because of my input. Interlock wasconsidered, but was too expensive. They bought a steel roof, also installed in small sections, which looked like tile. It went on strapping. The company who did it gave a very good price (much lower than yours) because of the great publicity - all the club members,their guests and visiting cruisers would get to see it and maybe want one like it. So far,they are thrilled with it. If the price difference is substantial, I might get the same for mynext roof. Although Angelo claims strapped roofs have problems, I bought a strapped steelroof once already, about 10 years ago, and so far it seems just fine. Pricing. And speed of delivering the guarantee - I don't believe I've received it yet. The realtor I am currently dealing with is of the opinion that putting a metal roof on a house youwant to sell soon is a waste of money. Most buyers are impressed enough with a new asphaltroof, which is much cheaper. Metal roofs do not provide a good return on the investment forre-sale.I was told that Interlock is now using metal roof vents because there were problems (raccoons etc. andbrittle with age breaking under snow slides) with the former plastic ones - AND Interlock made customerspay for the fix. This was not reassuring news. They should have been metal in the first place. I haveseveral Interlock roofs with plastic roof vents.The 2 flapper vents I had installed (still plastic, I believe) each got a snow guard installed above the vent.I was not impressed with the fact that this new policy was NOT mentioned when I was ordering snowguards, and that I ended up paying for snow guards to protect vents that should have been metal andnot in need of protection.
