We contracted to have our old asphalt roof replaced with your Interlock roof
Back in early May 2007, we contracted to have our old asphalt roof replaced with your Interlock roof. We are very happy that we did. It’s a beautiful system and we recommend it to all our friends. I am writing you this letter to inform you that you have an outstanding individual installing your metal roof systems. I’m talking about Mr. Nikolay (Nick) N. Shalnev. Nick was prompt, courteous and a dedicated worker. We were very impressed with his skills and work ethics. He is a one man construction crew. He had our roof replaced in less than a week and that includes a couple of rain days in there as well. Nick is a true professional in his craft. We would personally request Nick for any other future jobs if they were to pop up.
Cordially Yours,

We intentionally waited almost two years to write a review
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
To Potential Interlock Customer:
We intentionally waited almost two years to write a review (roof replaced in August 2019). Replacing a roof (whether asphalt or Interlock) is an expensive project, and we felt it was important to have the perspective of someone who has experience with the Interlock roof for 2 years.
Our house is an old colonial built in about 1890. It is almost 3200 square feet with an attic that could be converted to a third floor. We also have an L-shaped wrap-around porch at the front of the house. I am very familiar with the effort it takes to replace a roof, as I have helped re-roof five different houses, including my own. I did this with the help of several friends, putting a layer of asphalt shingles on my house about 20 years ago. However, after 20 years, I had shingles beginning to fail and lost a couple during wind storms. I had a couple of asphalt shingle contractors look at the house for an estimate. One never provided a quote. The second refused the work because my house is 34 feet at the peak, and he felt it was too tall for him to work on.
Michael Baldarassi came to our house in June 2019. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the construction of old houses and correctly identified that the gable ends would need repair as it was common to not fully extend roof boards to the gable end. He explained the product extremely well, and we were happy to choose the black, slate-looking tiles for our roof.
The work team started in the second week of August on a bright sunny, hot week. My roof needed to be stripped to the boards, and I was amazed at how quickly they dealt with the very hot asphalt shingles. It is an extremely hard-working team, and it was to the point that I wanted to tell them to take breaks. Sheets of plywood were carried up to the roof, gable ends were repaired, and several spots needed repair prior to installing the Interlock shingles. They did an excellent installation, along with cleanup and the weather-supported completion in 5 days. We immediately started receiving compliments from townspeople who thought we were having a slate roof put on. The roof definitely adds appeal to our house.
Our experience with the Interlock roof has been outstanding. I no longer worry during the strong winds of winter. Having the snow slide off the roof has been a big benefit. Our first snowstorm in December 2019 was 20 inches. It was predicted to be followed by rain four days later. For the past 20 years, I have had to go out onto the wrap-around porch roof to shovel it off so that the 20 inches of snow with rain on it wouldn’t overload the porch. Not with Interlock. The snow had slid off during the snowstorm and before the rain, so no more shovelling the roof. I love not having to stand on a snowy roof shovelling anymore.
Having the snow slide off has other benefits. It removed tons of weight from the snow on the roof. That snow weight does nothing good for a house. I used to have minor changes in door fitting, etc., during the winter, but that has stopped because the snow weight on the roof is gone. Additionally, no snow on the roof means no icicles. As one side of my house faces the sun all day, there are winters where if it is 10F and sunny for several days, massive icicles form that weigh hundreds of pounds. These become dangerous when they unexpectedly drop. Icicles do not happen when there is no snow on the roof.
Our Interlock roof has been a fantastic choice, and it has added to the value of our house. One day when we sell our house, I have no doubt that our Interlock roof will help to attract a buyer, and the price of the roof will likely be recouped in part or all. What is a big question a potential homebuyer has? – how old is the roof? Being able to answer with a 50-year warranty that can be transferred to one buyer will bring a lot of weight to the sale. The warranty gives us peace of mind that the roof will never worry us again. Thank you again, Interlock.

A Seamless Roofing Experience and a Beautiful Upgrade Worth the Investment
In the scenic mountain town of Bethel, Maine—where the pace is slower, the winters are longer, and the charm is unmistakably New England—Jack made a decision that blended function with form. His home now features a Hunter Green Interlock Slate Shingle Metal Roofing System, and the results speak for themselves.
The White Mountain National Forest surrounds Bethel with natural beauty, while the Androscoggin River flows just minutes away, offering some of the region’s best fly fishing and peaceful paddling. In Bethel, roofs face snow loads, ice storms, high winds, and intense summer sun—all in a year. Homeowners here don’t settle for “good enough” regarding roofing. They choose systems built to last.
That’s what led Jack to Interlock.
“Our entire experience; inquiry, ordering, installation, and follow up has been excellent. The roof was justifiably costly and definitely worth the investment. The appearance of our house has been greatly enhanced.”
Jack’s decision to install the Hunter Green Interlock Slate Shingle Metal Roofing System was not just about enhancing the curb appeal of his home. It was a strategic investment in a system that is designed to withstand the harshest of Maine’s weather conditions. With its lifetime warranty, energy efficiency, and 4-way interlocking design, it can confidently handle wind, ice, and snow. Moreover, it is solar-compatible, making it a future-proof choice for anyone considering energy upgrades.
In Bethel, where small-town tradition meets outdoor adventure, homeowners like Jack think long-term. Choosing Interlock means no more re-roofing every 15 years, cracked shingles, or heavy maintenance—just a one-time investment in a durable, reliable roofing system.
Jack’s satisfaction with the Interlock roofing system is evident in his words. He not only appreciates the fantastic look of the roof but also the fact that it performs exactly as promised, providing him with the peace of mind he was looking for.
Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Bethel, ME
What kind of roof performs best in Bethel’s climate?
How long will a typical roof last in Bethel, ME?
What roofing material is best for snow and ice?
What about the heat—won’t a metal roof make my home hotter in the summer?
That’s a common myth. In fact, Interlock Metal Roofing is finished with high-reflectivity coatings that bounce back solar radiation, keeping homes cooler in the summer. Asphalt shingles, by contrast, absorb heat and increase cooling costs.
In Bethel, where homes rely heavily on both heating and cooling across seasons, Interlock improves year-round energy efficiency.
Is natural slate a good choice for New England homes like those in Bethel?
What’s the difference between aluminum and steel roofing in Maine?
Steel roofing can rust, especially in moist environments with fluctuating temperatures. Aluminum roofing, like Interlock, is naturally rust-proof and ideal for snowy, humid climates like Bethel’s.
Aluminum also holds its color longer and is more lightweight than steel, making installation easier and more cost-effective in remote or rural areas.
Is synthetic slate or composite roofing worth it in Bethel?
What is the most environmentally friendly roofing option?
How does roofing affect home value in Bethel?
In Bethel’s market—where buyers value durability, efficiency, and low maintenance—an Interlock roof can significantly boost resale value. Unlike a 10-year-old asphalt roof that needs replacement, a metal roof offers buyers long-term peace of mind.
Plus, the beautiful finish adds serious curb appeal—especially with the natural, historic character of Bethel neighborhoods.
Will Interlock Metal Roofing match the style of my home?
Bethel is full of historic New England architecture, from Cape Cods to farmhouses. Interlock offers cedar shake, slate, tile, and standing seam styles in a variety of colors—like Hunter Green or Deep Charcoal—that complement traditional and modern homes alike.
It’s not just the best-performing roof—it’s also the best-looking one for Maine.
The Bottom Line for Bethel Homeowners
Choosing a roof in Bethel is about more than just cost—it’s about weather resistance, longevity, curb appeal, and peace of mind.
Interlock Metal Roofing is the smart choice because it’s:
- Made for extreme weather (snow, wind, UV, ice)
- Protected by a lifetime, non-prorated warranty
• Low maintenance and eco-friendly - A one-time investment that pays for itself over time
For homeowners in Bethel, Maine, it’s not about replacing a roof—it’s about never having to do it again.
Professional, Honest, and Impressive Roof Installation in Ellsworth, ME
There’s something about Ellsworth—maybe it’s the pull of Frenchman Bay, just a short drive down Route 3. Perhaps it’s how the town blends old Maine grit with small-town grace. Or maybe it’s how neighbors still talk about their homes and how some people talk about their kids—pridefully, protectively, purposefully.
For Keith, his home in Ellsworth wasn’t just a shelter. It was an investment, a long game. And he was done playing the re-roofing roulette every decade. Maine’s coastal weather doesn’t make it easy—snow loads, wind gusts, and the occasional nor’easter are not just folklore. They’re seasonal guests.
So when Keith chose Interlock Metal Roofing, it wasn’t about shingles. It was about trust.
That’s not just a five-star review. That’s a play-by-play of what it means to overdeliver.
Let’s pause here.
Many companies promise professionalism. Few call you mid-install just to check-in. Even fewer send an inspector from the home office to ensure the job meets a higher standard than “done.”
That’s what Interlock delivers. In Ellsworth, where ocean air collides with winter’s bite and families pass homes down like heirlooms, roofing goes beyond a trade—it builds a trust pact.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Ellsworth, Maine Homeowners
Living in Ellsworth means enjoying the gateway to Acadia National Park while grappling with the distinct challenges of Downeast Maine’s coastal climate. From salt-laden nor’easters to the freeze-thaw cycles that define our seasons, your roof faces demands that inland properties don’t experience. Whether you’re a year-round resident or manage a seasonal property near Frenchman Bay, these frequently asked questions address the roofing realities specific to our coastal Hancock County community.
What roofing materials perform best in Ellsworth's coastal environment?
Ellsworth’s proximity to Penobscot Bay and the Atlantic Ocean creates a perfect storm of roofing challenges: salt air corrosion, hurricane-force winds, and dramatic temperature swings. Metal roofing performs exceptionally well across Maine’s diverse climate—from coastal towns like York to inland areas like Bangor and Cumberland. With high resistance to wind, snow, rain, and temperature swings, metal roofs offer a dependable solution that holds up through harsh winters and storm seasons alike.
For coastal properties in Ellsworth, metal roofing systems with proper corrosion-resistant coatings significantly outperform traditional asphalt shingles, which can deteriorate rapidly from salt exposure. Standing seam roofing and interlocking metal systems provide superior wind resistance—crucial during nor’easters that regularly impact our area. While traditional to Maine, Cedar shingles require extensive maintenance in our maritime climate and may not be practical for properties within a mile of saltwater.
For Ellsworth homeowners, the key consideration when it comes to roofing materials is selecting those specifically rated for coastal exposure. This means choosing materials with wind resistance ratings appropriate for our location approximately 20 miles from Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island. By making informed choices about your roofing materials, you can ensure the longevity and resilience of your roof in our unique coastal climate.
When is the best time to schedule roofing work in Ellsworth?
What should I look for in an Ellsworth roofing contractor?
Roofing contractors in Maine do not require state licensure (unless they work with asbestos, which requires specific licensure from the Department of Environmental Protection). However, the state needs “a written contract with a specific provision that prohibits payment up front of more than one-third of the contract price” for construction or home improvement projects worth more than $3,000.
For Ellsworth homeowners, it’s crucial to prioritize contractors with a proven track record in coastal Maine. Serving the coast of Maine from Lubec to Kittery, Ellsworth Roofing is a locally owned and operated company in Ellsworth, Maine. Local contractors like us understand the specific challenges of working near Acadia, managing projects during tourist season, and sourcing materials that can handle salt air exposure. Our experience and understanding of the local conditions make us a reliable choice for your roofing needs.
Verify that your contractor carries appropriate insurance coverage—this is particularly important in coastal areas where storm damage claims are more frequent. Request references from recent projects in Hancock County, specifically properties similar to yours within the ocean’s distance. Research companies carefully by examining their Google, Yelp, or Better Business Bureau (BBB) profiles to look for years of consistently good feedback.
Don’t overlook the importance of contractors who understand environmental regulations near protected areas like Acadia National Park, especially if your property is within the park’s view shed or watershed areas.
Do Ellsworth homes need special wind-resistant roofing?
Ellsworth’s coastal location subjects properties to significant wind exposure, particularly during nor’easters and occasional hurricanes that track up the Atlantic coast. Wind Speed (ASCE 7-10) Risk Category I – 106 mph, Risk Category II – 116 mph, Risk Category III-IV – 124 mph for nearby Bar Harbor guides our region.
Most hurricanes make landfall in the Southeast and dissipate long before reaching Maine. Those hurricanes that make it to Maine generally arrive in August, September, or October; most are Category 2 or less by the time they arrive. However, nor’easters can produce sustained winds exceeding 60 mph with gusts to 80+ mph, making proper wind resistance critical.
Modern metal roofing systems, particularly those with four-way interlocking designs, typically exceed these requirements and can withstand winds up to 120mph when properly installed. Asphalt shingles in coastal areas should be rated for high winds (Class H) and installed with additional fasteners and sealants. Your contractor should know Maine’s coastal building standards and ensure proper installation techniques for high-wind areas.
Investing in wind-resistant roofing pays dividends during storm season, potentially saving thousands in insurance deductibles and property damage.
How does salt air affect roofing materials, and what maintenance is required?
What insurance considerations apply to coastal properties in Ellsworth?
When your roof is damaged, the last thing you want to stress about is the insurance claim paperwork! Our team will provide a complete roof inspection and any information you need to know how to proceed with your claims. Coastal properties often face higher insurance premiums and specific coverage requirements.
Many insurance companies now require impact-resistant roofing materials and specific wind resistance ratings for coastal Maine properties. Documenting your roofing material specifications and installation details can help secure better coverage rates. Some insurers offer discounts for metal roofing or other premium materials demonstrating superior storm resistance.
Flood insurance is separate from homeowner’s insurance and increasingly crucial in Ellsworth, particularly for properties near the Union River or low-lying areas. While most wind damage is covered under standard policies, understanding your deductibles and coverage limits before you need them saves stress during storm season.
Work with contractors who understand insurance requirements and can provide proper documentation for your carrier. This partnership becomes invaluable if you ever need to file a claim.
How do ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles impact Ellsworth roofs?
Maine’s temperatures can vary dramatically throughout the year, but the ocean moderates them along the coast. In January, February, and March, when inland Maine often suffers sub-zero temperatures, the ocean’s relative warmth boosts temperatures along the coast.
This temperature moderation creates unique challenges for Ellsworth properties. Frequent freeze-thaw cycles can be more damaging than consistent cold temperatures, causing expansion and contraction that stresses roofing materials and sealants. Ice dams form when warm air in the attic melts snow on the roof, refreezing the gutters.
Proper insulation and ventilation are crucial for preventing ice dams, but in older Ellsworth homes, retrofitting can be challenging. Metal roofing systems with proper thermal breaks and snow guards help snow shed more evenly, reducing ice dam formation. Standing seam metal roofs are particularly effective because their smooth surface doesn’t provide purchase points for ice buildup.
Consider the long-term benefits of addressing ventilation and insulation during roof replacement projects—the upfront investment saves heating costs and prevents expensive ice damage throughout your roof’s lifespan.
What are typical roofing costs for Ellsworth homeowners?
Typical roofing repairs cost between $380 and $1,800 on average. However, most homeowners spend approximately $1,100 on a roofing repair project. Complete roof replacement costs vary significantly based on material choice, home size, and accessibility.
Ellsworth’s coastal location and tourism economy can impact pricing during peak season (June-September) when contractor demand is highest. Many homeowners find better pricing and availability during off-peak times. Inquire about our 0% interest financing options and see how Maine Coast Roofing can build a plan that fits your budget for your roof repairs!
Budget for premium materials if you’re exposed to salt air—the initial investment in marine-grade components pays off through extended lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
Factor in the total cost of ownership, including maintenance requirements and energy efficiency benefits, rather than just upfront costs. For seasonal properties or investment properties in the Ellsworth area, coordinate timing with rental seasons and consider the impact of roofing choice on property values and rental attractiveness.
How does energy efficiency factor into roofing choices near Acadia?
What emergency preparedness should Ellsworth homeowners consider?
The weather in Acadia National Park is unpredictable. Although summers on Mount Desert Island are generally sunny and divine, conditions can change instantly. This unpredictability extends throughout Hancock County, making emergency preparedness essential.
Identify local contractors who provide emergency services and understand their availability during storm season. Many quality contractors get overwhelmed during significant weather events, so establishing relationships before you need them proves invaluable. Keep contact information for emergency tarping services and understand your insurance company’s preferred contractor network.
Develop a pre-storm checklist, including gutter cleaning, securing loose items, and documenting existing roof conditions with photos. Changes in rainfall patterns have also taxed park infrastructure, increasing the maintenance required to control erosion and protect the historic carriage roads. Similar patterns affect residential properties throughout our region.
Consider backup power options for homes with electric heat pumps or well water systems—extended outages during winter storms can create serious problems beyond just comfort issues. Understand your property’s vulnerabilities and have action plans for various scenarios, from minor leaks to significant storm damage.
Bottom Line for Ellsworth Homeowners:
Your roof is your primary defence against Downeast Maine’s challenging coastal climate. At Interlock Metal Roofing, we understand that investing in our premium metal roofing systems—engineered explicitly for salt air exposure—combined with our deep expertise in coastal Maine conditions and comprehensive maintenance support protects your investment and your peace of mind. Whether watching the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain or weathering a February nor’easter, choosing Interlock’s Lifetime Roofing Systems keeps you comfortable and secure year-round, knowing you’ll never need to re-roof again.
Metal Roofing in Coastal Maine: Gary’s 5-Star Story from Orrs Island
There are roofs, and then there are decisions—the kind that change how you feel when you pull into the driveway. Gary discovered that on a quiet, salt-kissed stretch of Orrs Island, Maine, where the Atlantic whispers through the spruce trees and every home reflects the sea and sky.
Here, nestled less than 400 feet from the rugged Atlantic shoreline, Gary chose more than just a roofing upgrade. He chose confidence, clarity, and craftsmanship—Interlock®. This innovative roofing system features a 4-Way Interlocking Design for superior strength, is corrosion-resistant to withstand salt air, and is energy-efficient with reflective coatings to regulate indoor temperatures.
The Unfiltered Review:
Short and to the point. But like any good Maine story, what’s between the lines says just as much. Trust. Professionalism. Results.
A Roof That Belongs in a Place Like This
Gary’s home is surrounded by coastal beauty: just minutes from Harpswell Sound, and a short drive from the Cribstone Bridge—a historic feat of granite engineering that connects Orrs and Bailey Islands. From his rooftop, you can smell the tide. You can hear lobster boats at work in the morning. This is Downeast Maine—authentic, enduring, elemental.
And the Deep Charcoal Interlock Slate Shingle Metal Roofing System? It fits right in.
Like driftwood on the shore or the smooth curves of a sailor’s knot, this roof was made for this place—sharp lines. Weatherproof strength. A finish that reflects the moody grace of a Maine sky.
Why Interlock is the Best Roof for Coastal Living
Let’s not overcomplicate it. Here’s why Gary won’t have to think about his roof again:
- Lifetime Warranty – Installed once. Guaranteed for life.
- 4-Way Interlocking Design – Locking strength in all directions. Even when the coastal winds howl.
- Corrosion Resistant – Salt air? It is no match for heavy-gauge aluminum.
- Energy Efficient – Reflective coatings keep things cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
- Solar Ready – Future-forward and fully compatible.
- Low Maintenance – No mold, moss, or rot. Ever.
- Curb Appeal That Lasts – Deep Charcoal offers a bold, contemporary contrast against clapboard and cedar.
This isn’t just a product. It’s peace of mind, handcrafted for brutal weather. The Interlock® roofing system is not just a roof, it’s a long-term investment in the safety and durability of your home, designed to withstand the harshest coastal conditions.
Jonathan and the Crew: Setting the Standard
Gary mentioned Jonathan—not because he had to—but because Jonathan showed up like a teacher, not a salesperson.
He didn’t just sell a roof—he explained it. And the crew? Quiet pros. No shortcuts. No mess was left behind. Just clean lines, clean lawn, clean conscience.
Because how the job is done matters just as much as what’s installed.
Why Orrs Island Homes Deserve a Roof Like This
In Orrs Island, every view feels like a painting. And every storm is a reminder that homes here need to be as tough as they are beautiful. That’s why more and more homeowners are choosing Interlock—because once it’s on, the job is done.
A home by the sea deserves a roof that can face the sea—and win.
A Roof That Quietly Says: “We’re Done Here.”
Gary didn’t write a novel. He didn’t need to.
He got a roof built to last, a team that delivered on every promise, and a clean install that left nothing behind but satisfaction.
That’s Interlock. The best roof. The last roof you’ll ever need, standing strong against the elements for a lifetime.
Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Orrs Island, ME
How often should I replace my roof in coastal Maine?
Most asphalt roofs last 15–20 years, but homes on Orrs Island, exposed to salt air, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles, may require replacement sooner. That’s why many residents are switching to metal roofing systems, which can last 40–50+ years—or even a lifetime with Interlock®.
What roofing material holds up best in a coastal climate?
Heavy-gauge aluminum metal roofing is the top performer near the ocean. It resists corrosion, salt spray, wind damage, and algae growth. It’s also fire-resistant, a key factor during dry seasons.
Is a metal roof noisy during storms or rain?
Not at all—when installed properly over underlayment and sheathing, metal roofs are no louder than asphalt. In fact, many homeowners report that they’re even quieter during rain or hail.
Will a metal roof increase my home’s value?
Yes. A metal roof adds curb appeal, improves energy efficiency, and offers long-term durability—all of which can raise resale value. Buyers in Maine love the idea of never needing to re-roof.
Can I install solar panels on a metal roof?
Absolutely. Interlock Metal Roofing Systems are solar compatible, making them an excellent long-term base for your renewable energy setup.
Will a metal roof rust?
Do I need to remove my old roof first?
How long does installation take?
Why is Interlock the best roofing system for Orrs Island homes?
Because we design for places like Orrs Island:
- Lifetime Warranty
- 4-Way Interlocking System for high wind resistance
- Energy Efficient and Solar Compatible
- Coastal-Proof Aluminum Material
It’s not just a roof. It’s the last roof you’ll ever need.
What colors are available, and will the finish fade?
Interlock offers a wide range of designer colors, including Deep Charcoal, Tudor Brown, Black, and more. Our finishes are fade-resistant and UV-protected, engineered to retain their beauty for decades.
Eliot Metal Roofing Review | March 19, 2025 – “Nazar was awesome to fix roof from winter ice damage!!
I highly recommend Interlock Metal Roofing for the following 4 reasons:
I highly recommend Interlock Metal Roofing for the following 4 reasons:
- We are now proud owners of the most visually pleasing and structurally sound roof I have ever seen.
- From the owner on down, every person at Interlock is dedicated to customer satisfaction.
- The crews performing the work are top notch, led by great leaders. I have never seen a large crew of contractors work so efficiently and effectively. There was never any downtime as there was always a team working on the project. As the days work came to a close, half the team would begin cleanup while the other half continued with the mission.
- Their daily cleanup was off the charts! They used blowers, rakes and a rolling magnet to ensure the worksite was completely cleaned.
I was extremely impressed with the operation from start to finish!

Top 5 FAQs for Homeowners Looking for Metal Roofing in Waterville, Maine
How does metal roofing perform in Maine’s extreme winters and heavy snowfall?
Waterville experiences harsh winters with heavy snowfall, ice storms, and freezing temperatures. A metal roof is ideal for these conditions because:

- ✅ Prevents leaks and damage – Interlock Metal Roofing features a 4-way interlocking system, preventing wind-driven snow and ice from penetrating beneath the panels.
- ✅ Doesn’t crack in freezing temperatures – Unlike asphalt, which can become brittle and crack in sub-zero conditions, metal remains stable and long-lasting in extreme cold.
Is metal roofing resistant to wind and coastal storms in Maine?
Yes! With Waterville’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean (just over 30 miles from the coast) and exposure to high winds from Nor’easters, homeowners need a high-wind-resistant roofing system.

- ✅ Home insurance discounts – Many insurance providers offer discounts for metal roofs because they are fire-resistant, wind-resistant, and less likely to suffer weather-related damage.
- ✅ Long-term savings – Metal roofing lasts 50+ years, meaning you never have to re-roof again, unlike asphalt shingles, which typically need replacement every 10-15 years.
Is metal roofing loud during rain or hail?
No! A common misconception is that metal roofs are noisy, but with proper installation, they are just as quiet as traditional roofing materials.
✅ Underlayment absorbs sound – Interlock Metal Roofing includes a high-quality underlayment that reduces noise from rain and hail.
✅ Attic insulation further dampens sound – If your home is properly insulated, you won’t hear the difference between a metal roof and asphalt shingles.
✅ Metal roofs protect against hail damage – Unlike shingles, which can crack or lose granules from hail impact, metal roofs resist damage and maintain their structure.

Multiple issues with our asphalt roof on our home in Maine
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
We were having multiple issues with our asphalt roof on our home in Maine and needed to get it fixed. I was constantly nailing back falling shingles, and we had multiple water leaks, so we decided to get a whole new roof, and we decided to go with a metal roof. Just as an FYI, our metal roof was just finished a few months ago, so I cannot speak for the longevity of the roof, but I will try to give you an idea of how good the process of getting this project done was with Interlock. Anyone who has had to deal with a major home project and contractors in their home understand what I mean, so here goes…
We were looking into a few companies, but after meeting with our sales rep Mark and his explanation of the interlock product and process, we decided to go with Interlock and what a great move that was for us! The process of getting an appointment for our sales rep to show the product agree to the job, get a start date, secure financing, and final completion could not have been easier. First off, there is no “hard sell” pressure, just lots of information about metal roofs, Interlock’s system and the lifetime warranty. There are a lot of people making this happen, and every one of them that we dealt with was pleasant, courteous and very helpful.
Claudette started the process by sending information and a sales rep who would be calling on us. She was very responsive, and we got that info back in no time and with an appointment to meet with Mark.
Mark was our sales rep, and he was extremely knowledgeable about the Interlock product, metal roofs in general and the process that would occur to get us from start to finish. Mark has a very friendly and outgoing personality and had an answer to every question we asked of him. Mark was always readily available to us for any of our questions throughout the whole process and followed up after the roof was completed to make sure that everything was to our liking.
Drew is the finance guy, and he couldn’t have been any nicer or more efficient than he was with us. He made the whole process very simple and easy to do. He was also readily available to us at all times.
Jennifer is the office person who coordinated the whole thing. She kept us informed every step of the way, from material delivery to dumpster drop off and pick up to when crews would arrive and everything in between. She was always very pleasant and helpful and, again, always available if needed for questions.
The crews that we had working on our house were awesome. They were on time and worked their tails off from the minute they got to the site until it was too dark to see. They were so respectful of our home and the property and cleaned up every night before they went home. I cannot say enough about the work ethic and quality of work they performed. Working on a roof in Maine in February is no easy task, but these guys and gals made it look easy.
Thanks to the whole Interlock family for providing us with a fantastic looking along with a very functional roof that is guaranteed for a lifetime! It is a tremendous sound when the snow comes thundering off the roof, leaving no snow or ice buildup!! We would highly recommend Interlock to install your metal roof.

They have worked diligently through all sorts of weather conditions to complete a large and difficult roofing job
This letter is being written to commend two of your Installers (Alex & Tim). It is our feeling that they have worked diligently through all sorts of weather conditions to complete a large and difficult roofing job. In spite of hot, humid conditions and temperatures in the 90s, they have worked to strip the old shingles, install the plywood and new shingles. They have also worked through cool rainy and misty days.
For some unknown reason the dumpster was hauled away after their working hours. If my husband hadn’t been home to retrieve all their tools, wheelbarrows, harnesses, etc., the tools would have disappeared as well. The men had to finish stripping the old shingles off our porch roof and haul them away in their own personal vehicle. Please be sure to extend our appreciation and satisfaction to your installers for a job well done. They are extremely polite and pleasant young men. It was a joy having them at our house. If only all outside contractors had such devoted and skilled employees. They did a wonderful job at our home.

When we got in touch with Interlock Industries our roofing problems were solved
I just wanted to write this note to thank you for our new roof. When we first bought this house 3 years ago we knew that we would need a new roof soon. When we got in touch with Interlock Industries our roofing problems were solved. We were tired of going up on the roof year after year trying to repair the old shingles. After every storm shingles would blow off and end up scattered all over the yard. Now our troubles are over for LIFE! The high cost is worth not having to go up there and try to make repairs that would just blow away with the next high winds, I also love the fact that the snow just falls right oft’ with out any effort from, us having to push it off. I was a little worried about the rain. and how loud it would be but I haven’t been able to notice any big difference in sound at all.
I wanted to thank the crew that installed the roof as well. They did a great job and they were very personable people that knew what they were doing. The job was done in a very timely manner. I was actually shocked at how soon toe product was delivered and then installed.
Thank you Interlock Industries for this roof of a lifetime! We are very happy with the outcome and if we do end up buying another house we would definitely have one of these roots installed on it as well.

This is to inform you of our satisfaction with the new Interlock roof on our home and to express an even greater satisfaction in the relationship with your staff during the entire process. Wayne Grant was very informative and courteous with his presentation and in filling out all the necessary paperwork to get started. Fred and his crew of installers were very professional and kept me totally informed on all aspects of the installation. The site was kept very clean as they worked and was totally cleaned each day before they left. Fred showed considerable concern in our satisfaction in all areas.
Thank you for all your help
Sincerely;

We contracted to have our old asphalt roof replaced with your Interlock roof
Back in early May 2007, we contracted to have our old asphalt roof replaced with your Interlock roof. We are very happy that we did. It’s a beautiful system and we recommend it to all our friends. I am writing you this letter to inform you that you have an outstanding individual installing your metal roof systems. I’m talking about Mr. Nikolay (Nick) N. Shalnev. Nick was prompt, courteous and a dedicated worker. We were very impressed with his skills and work ethics. He is a one man construction crew. He had our roof replaced in less than a week and that includes a couple of rain days in there as well. Nick is a true professional in his craft. We would personally request Nick for any other future jobs if they were to pop up.
Cordially Yours,
