Where This Roof Lives

No Pressure, Just Professionalism: A Seamless Roofing Experience in North York, Ontario

When Respect Builds the Roof

A North York homeowner reflects on trust, timing, and choosing the last roof they’ll ever need.

Some stories don’t start with a bang.
They begin with a quiet conversation, a no-pressure walkthrough, and a sense that—for once—you’re not being sold something. You’re being listened to.

That happened in North York, Ontario, when Bruce from Interlock Metal Roofing showed up—not with a pitch, but with purpose.

It’s a review, sure. But more than that—it’s a blueprint for what’s possible when a homeowner feels supported, not sold. It’s a testament to the relief of finding a company you can trust.

Where This Story Lives

North York is more than a neighbourhood—it is a vertical village, a district where high-rise living meets winding suburban streets. Nestled between the Don River ravines and the cultural pulse of Toronto, homes here carry history, character, and constant exposure to the elements.

This isn’t mild coastal living. It’s freeze-thaw winters, lake-effect snow, and summer sun that bake traditional shingles into submission.

So when you choose a roof here, it isn’t just about appearance. It’s about survival. Performance. Permanence.

Why They Chose Interlock

This homeowner went from aging asphalt to Black Interlock Slate Metal Roofing—sleek, structured, and ready for the seasons ahead.

No leaks. No curling. No replacements.
Just a 4-way interlocking panel system, a unique feature of our product, built to resist high winds, pounding rain, and decades of wear—while staying solar-ready and stunning from the curb.

And just as important?
Moses and his crew installed it on time, with courtesy, precision, and zero mess. This kind of service makes neighbours raise an eyebrow and say, “Wait, that was it?”

What Makes It Last

This roof isn’t just made of aluminum. It’s made of intention.
A lifetime limited warranty, a testament to our confidence in the quality of our product, backs it because no homeowner in North York—or anywhere—wants to repeat this decision in ten years.

They want it done once.
And they want it done right.

Interlock Metal Roofing isn’t in the business of closing deals. We’re creating peace of mind, one roof at a time, by delivering quality you can rely on.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for North York, Ontario

What makes North York’s climate tough on roofs?

North York experiences long, snowy winters, humid summers, and sudden seasonal swings. With over 110 cm of snow annually, plus rain, sleet, and hail, roofing systems are constantly expanding, contracting, and shedding water.

Interlock Advantage: Our high-performance aluminum roofing is designed for Canadian weather extremes. With built-in snow-shedding design and a four-way interlock system, it keeps your home protected year-round.

Most asphalt roofs in North York last 12–18 years—shorter if exposed to poor attic ventilation or tree debris. Metal roofing, by contrast, lasts 40+ years or longer.

Interlock Promise: Backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty, Interlock is a one-time investment. “Never Re-Roof Again®” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a real homeowner solution.

Absolutely. In winter, snow loads can exceed 20 pounds per square foot. Improperly designed roofs suffer ice dams, warping, or leaks.

Interlock Advantage: Our systems shed snow efficiently and resist ice dams by keeping a uniform surface temperature. Optional snow guards help manage snowfall in high-traffic areas.

That’s a myth. When installed over solid sheathing and underlayment, metal roofs are as quiet—or quieter—than shingles.

Interlock Advantage: Our system includes premium underlayments that reduce sound and boost energy performance.

Yes. With rising real estate values and energy costs, buyers increasingly look for durable, low-maintenance, energy-efficient roofs.

Interlock Advantage: Our roofs are not only permanent, but they also enhance curb appeal with slate, shingle, tile, and shake styles. They’re a long-term asset in North York’s competitive housing market.

Yes—and it’s actually ideal. A roof that lasts 50+ years ensures you won’t need to uninstall and reinstall solar panels in the future.

Interlock Advantage: Solar-ready by design. Our panels are compatible with modern mounting systems, with no need to drill or puncture the panels.

North York is built on rolling glacial moraine—meaning lots of elevation changes, runoff patterns, and mature tree coverage. Many homes are mid-century builds or new developments with unique structural needs.

Interlock Advantage: Lightweight aluminum reduces structural stress on older homes while adapting beautifully to steep pitches and complex rooflines.

  • Ice dams and snow accumulation
  • Moss and algae on shaded roofs
  • Wind damage (especially from fall/spring storms)
  • Granule loss and cracking on asphalt

Interlock Advantage: Our aluminum roofs won’t rot, warp, attract moss, or blow off in high winds. Built for long-term performance, they eliminate the most common roofing headaches.

While not in a coastal zone, North York gets hit by the tail ends of Great Lakes-effect storms, strong thunderstorms, and polar vortex cold snaps. High winds and flash freeze events are common.

Interlock Advantage: Tested against Category 2 hurricane-force winds (up to 193 km/h), Interlock roofs offer superior wind and freeze-thaw resistance.

For homeowners who want beauty, performance, and peace of mind, the answer is clear: Interlock Metal Roofing.

Canada’s Best Roof® installed by Interlock Metal Roofing (Ontario) Ltd. : With over 40 years of experience and thousands of installations across Ontario, Interlock is North York’s proven leader in permanent roofing systems.

Local Insight: Why Roofing Matters in North York

  • Average Snowfall: ~110–130 cm/year
  • Summer Temps: Can reach 30°C+ with humidity

5/5

Jessica, a homeowner in Niagara Falls, Ontario, recently upgraded her residence with a Tile Red Interlock Slate roof, installed by Interlock Metal Roofing.

Its durable, weather-resistant design ensures long-lasting protection against Niagara Falls’ diverse climate, providing peace of mind and reducing maintenance needs.

Jessica expressed her satisfaction with the project, stating:

“Wonderful experience from the first moment I called Interlock Roofing. Bruce was absolutely a pleasure. He helped us when we had a roof leak and hired a company that we ended up firing on the first day. Bruce gave us extensive lists of homes to go view their work and roof colour so we could see how they looked. They were absolutely beautiful. Every colour was very nice. We even spoke to a customer at a home that was outside one of the addresses and she had hers done 2 years prior and was so pleased. She knew we would be happy too. So we chose our colour and went ahead with the down payment. Within weeks we were told the product was in and would be there to install the following day. Day 1 was wonderful; the workers took off all the old shingles and corrected the leaking areas by replacing rotten plywood. Within 5 days everything was complete and couldn’t be happier. No more leaking roof. And a beautiful colour to top it. We are so pleased with Bruce for everything he did for us. And for his time and checking in during installation and after that we were happy!! Highly recommend Bruce. And thank you also to Moses and his crew for their great work.”

This installation not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of Jessica’s home but also offers reliable, weather-resistant protection, making it a perfect fit for Niagara Falls’ climate.

Beautiful, carefree product; great customer service, and old-fashioned workmanship.

5/5

Bruce from Interlock Industries came to the house the day after I asked for estimate and four weeks later we had our new roof!
Steve was incredible. He clearly took pride in installing a beautiful roof, was very courteous, and went above and beyond. The fact that this was a little house, did not make any difference for Steve; he wanted it to be perfect….and it is! This was an great experience! When we need a new roof for our (shingled) business roof in two or three years, it will definitely be another Interlock roof. Beautiful, carefree product; great customer service, and old-fashioned workmanship.
Highly recommend.

this roof was one of the best decisions we made on the house

5/5

We had our roof installed in 2006. Since then, we have added some more snow guards. Today Brad Cook installed more snow guards to protect our new deck. He was professional and efficient. He was impressed with the appearance of our roof. Said it looked new. I said this roof was one of the best decisions we made on the house. Very happy.

We just had a tremendous rain storm, the roof did amazing

Alsea, Oregon

5/5

From the ordering process that began in January to the actual install of the roof in November, the communication could have been better. The charcoal gray “slate” roof was installed a few days ago and we just had a tremendous rain storm, the roof did amazing. The workers who showed up were fast and professional and finished the job in 3 days. After they were done, they did a thorough site cleaning. The roof was definitely more costly than a conventional shingle roof and took some extra effort and delay to get scheduled, but we believe it was well worth it.

We wanted to upgrade our 100-year-old Chicago bungalow

5/5

The investment we made in a new aluminum slate style shingle roof was much more than we wanted to spend, but when we analyzed the pros and cons, including the cost, it came out ahead. We wanted to upgrade our 100-year-old Chicago bungalow and, in particular, rejuvenate the attic and basement spaces. We also want to install a solar panel array on the roof while the current incentives with the IRS, the state and the utility net metering system are still in effect. We wanted to reduce the massive composite shingle tonnage that is covering the incredible sea of roofs across the land. This is undoubtedly a rather large carbon footprint and the short lifespan of many roofs (10-15 years) are causing us to fill and foul unsustainable dumpsites.

The weight of our aluminum roof is less than 850 lbs., compared to 3-4 tons of architectural composite shingles. The Interlock roof is a lifetime roof warrantied for 50 years. When/if it is ever replaced, it will be completely recycle-able.

Much of the heat captured by composite shingle roofs is reflected by the aluminum. Previously, our attic could reach temperatures near 130°F. We have seen a significant reduction in afternoon attic temps, 10-20 degrees.

The installers, Jesse, Sal and Ben were very professional, safe and kind to us. They took the extra time to do it right and solve problems rather than take an easier route. They maintained social distancing and wore masks when necessary. They screwed down OSB sheathing on the existing 100-year-old deck boards which are stamped Sterling Lumber and Supply Co. “The Yards with the Stock”. This company was located two blocks from our house in the early 1900s. Interlock continues a tradition from Sterling Lumber to build to last a lifetime. The original 1919 roof rafters were 2″x4″x16′ and held up under numerous Chicago blizzards and storms. Prior to the project, we augmented the rafters with 2″x6″x16′ #1 southern yellow pine. Hopefully, the roof will bear another century of Chicago climate change.

The Interlock Industries’ workers installed 95 snow guards to breakup snow slides off the roof. The roof is very attractive and my neighbors have complemented the looks of it. The siding on the dormers were also replaced with the aluminum shingles. We had a choice of several shingle colors and chose one called gunflint. The shingles have a slate-like surface that is embossed on the aluminum to give it a textured appearance and perhaps breakup wind and water flows. The Interlock installers removed and sheathed over the chimney and vent caps and added a ridge vent. They installed soffit vents which apparently were never a feature of the house. They removed the gutters and reinstalled them in order to fit the drip edge flashing and lock down the shingles. Everything is fastened with screws powered by cordless screw guns. They did not use air compressors. They had safety lanyards attached to the ridge and foot boards around the perimeter of the roof throughout the installation.

We are very satisfied with the look of our new roof and ready to install solar panels which won’t have to be removed to re-roof because the roof will probably last longer than the solar panels. We are not young anymore and the long-term value of this project will most likely benefit others and the neighborhood more than us, but for the time being, we are happy customers.

Made a huge difference in my electric use for cooling the house!
