Review: October 21, 2005 Completion: October 23, 2005

I would like to share some thoughts with regard to our new Interlock roof which has recently been installed: We moved into this house five years ago thinking we would never have to put a roof on the house while we lived here. To our surprise, this past spring, I looked up to check the roof, and what did I see? Shock and horror at curling tiles! I couldn’t believe it; so I had it professionally inspected. Sure enough, I was told to have the roof replaced by next spring! I couldn’t believe my ears. Our house is only 10 years old!!!!!!! I called the previous owner who was also shocked. He said the shingles should last for 25 years. I called the roof installer who also said they were 25 year shingles. I asked him if he would come over just to have a look as I was very concerned being winter is approaching. He was very hesitant but we agreed he would come over after work that day. Well, true to form and a typical contractor, I haven’t seen him to this day. The owner approached him and he used some pretty colorful words as to where I could go and he didn’t care. We had gone to the trade show and kept all of the pamphlets, etc. We had also received a call about roofing but couldn’t remember who called. Between the pamphlet and the phone call, Brad with Interlock came to the rescue! We wanted a roof that we would never have to worry about again! However, we were very reluctant to have anything to do with contractors again. Brad was completely true to his word! He kept communications open and was very thorough and excellent on follow-up. He was the overseer of our roof and ensured everything was done correctly and installed quickly. He had trained, professional installers. I was so impressed one day when I was showing the roof to some friends and the installer came over, pointed and asked if we could see a certain line on the roof. We all said we didn’t see it. He said, “Well, I can; I’ll have to redo three rows to correct it, but I’m doing it so it’s done right,” and off he went. His work ethics was impeccable and he was very personable as well. Unlike most others, when I look at my roof, I only think how gorgeous it looks and so does everyone else! I would be pleased to speak with anyone, anytime about our new care-free, beautiful roof. If you are considering a new roof, I would, without hesitation, recommend Brad, Interlock and no one else would do!

Review: January 21, 2005 Completion: January 27, 2005

We moved to Coaldale in July of 2004 from Medicine Hat and knew that the roof would need to be replaced in the next year or so. We had seen Interlock at the Home and garden show in Medicine Hat in 2003 & 2004. We also looked at two of the houses that Interlock had done in Medicine Hat. We got Brad to come to our house at our convenience to give us the whole demonstration. After comparing cost, " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty, value, weight, and looks of the Interlock compared to asphalt, and tiles, we decided on Interlock. You’re probably asking yourself, why Interlock? We liked the idea of never having to replace the roof again, the lifetime (transferable) warranty, we absolutely love the aged " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">copper colour that we chose. Installation took four days that is for a thousand square foot home and a double car garage. The installer was friendly and courteous. When I had to make the decision of taking the gutters off or leaving them on, he explained all the pros and cons, so I could make my decision. He cleaned up after each day was done, and at the end he hauled all the garbage to the dump. The financing with Interlock was done without headaches. All we had to do was fax a few papers to the bank and everything was done. Considering that the installation was done while my husband was out of town, I felt at ease during the whole process. I would recommend Interlock to anyone with hesitation.

Review: April 3, 2006 Completion: June 20, 2005

I am very happy with the roof that was installed by Interlock. The workers were very nice and they finished the job with great quality. They were here bright and early in the morning when they started and it did not take them long to finish the roof. I recommend Interlock to everyone. It is a great company that does a great job.

Review: April 2, 2006 Completion: March 27, 2006

Our first exposure to Interlock Roofing was when Brad knocked at the door, having been referred by a neighbour who knew we wanted a new roof. Brad explained in detail about the roof, about how it was priced, and when it would be done. Installation was done in March, as scheduled and took 7 1/2 days. Both workers were friendly, neat and professional having worked for Interlock for many years. They threw the old shakes directly into the bin, so there was no mess around the house and to ensure there would no problems later, they checked on the attic vents and cleared those partially blocked. We like the look and colour of the Interlock roof and it is admired by passer-by’s who often stop to ask about it. We have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Review: December 11, 2005 Completion: December 13, 2005

Today, the Interlock Roofing Installers have completed the installation of a great looking roof on our home. Later in the month of September, as I was standing on the deck of my home, enjoying the Autumn air, I noticed that one of my neighbours was having a new roof installed on their home. This roof definitely appeared to look much different than the ordinary asphalt shingles that are prevalent on most homes. So, I needed to get a closer look. As I came to the home where the roof was being installed, I thought, boy, this is really “extraordinary”……..and I liked what I had seen. I enquired of the installers to know more about the product, I was informed that I should leave my name and phone number, and a representative would contact me. Within a few days, I received a phone call from Brad (local Interlock representative) and an appointment was set, so we could be informed more about the product. Our roof at that time was asphalt shingles, which were beginning to curl in some areas (mainly the South side) of the roof. I knew that we’d be lucky if we could get about one more years wear, without replacing the roof. The job was professionally completed by Interlock Roofing trained installers. There’s no doubt in my mind but what the value of our property has risen considerably, however, we are anticipating enjoying our home for many years to come. At this point, it’s too early to notice any changes to our home………except the roof certainly helps to enhance the beauty of our home. We have already had some very positive comments from some of our neighbours. If you might be considering a new roof on your home, I would truly recommend that you listen to Mr. Reagh……..he really knows all there is to know about roofing. Mr. Reagh is representing the best roofing product that’s on the market today. I really wanted the best roof installed because I didn’t want to be having to redo my roof again in a few years. We now have peace of mind, in knowing that we have the best roof that’s available.

Review: August 27, 2005 Completion: August 14, 2005

The Interlock Roofing System was delivered and installed on time in spite of a delay in startup due to rain and another day delay due to rain after half the roof was done. The crew was courteous and friendly and cleaned up at the end of every day. I was very satisfied that the place was left tidy and clean after final cleanup. I recommend Interlock Roofing to anyone wanting an impressive nice looking roof.

Review: August 27, 2005 Completion: August 20, 2005

To anyone interested in purchasing the Interlock roof system, it will be the best purchase you ever make. We have already noticed a difference in my house temperature. The workers were very polite and courteous. Brad came by a couple of times to make sure everything was good. We would recommend this company to anyone looking for a new permanent, maintenance-free roof.

Review: April 27, 2005 Completion: April 15, 2005

Recently my wife and I came to the conclusion that we really could not put off replacing our roof much longer and so we started researching materials and costs. During the time we were doing our research we ran across INTERLOCK representative, Brad, at the Lethbridge Home and Garden Show at which he explained the INTERLOCK ROOFING SYSTEM TO US. We were impressed with what Brad had to say and consequently, we invited him to our house to have a look at the problem and give us an idea of what it would cost to have our roof done. After talking with Brad the second time, we both decided that the advantages of this roof far outweighed the fact that it was going to cost more than an asphalt shingle roof. How do you say no to a 50-year warranty? Well, now our new roof is on the house we both feel it was one of our better decision regarding our home. The roof looks beautiful. The entire process was very straightforward and painless. People showed up when they said they would show up, the installer was an absolute professional, Brad kept track of the entire process and there were no hidden charges. We have already had a Realtor inform us that the new roof will definitely increase the value of our house. In short, I would strongly recommend that anyone in need of a new roof give very serious consideration to Brad and the INTERLOCK roofing system. We have been extremely impressed with the integrity and professionalism of the installer. First Class! From our first conversation with Brad through the completion of our new roof, we have had a high level of confidence in INTERLOCK, their roof system, and most importantly, their people!

Review: August 14, 2005 Completion: July 16, 2005

I live about 13 miles southwest of Cardston, Alberta. This summer I had an “Interlock” roof installed. The fellas doing the work came prepared, worked quickly, cleaned up and hauled away the refuse. They were very professional. Although we haven’t yet experienced heavy rain, the roof seems no louder in a rainstorm than the asphalt roof. I have and would recommend this roofing to others.

Our experience with Interlock Roofing has been a positive one. Our salesman, Brad, was friendly, outgoing, and came through on all of his promises. The roof installers were friendly and hardworking. Our new roof looks great and we are pleased with the results. We would recommend Interlock Roofing to anyone.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Milk River

The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Milk River, Alberta. Whether you are building a new home or replacing an existing roof, understanding how roofing materials perform in local weather conditions is essential. From wind and storm protection to fire resistance, hail impact, snow loads, and coastal moisture exposure, Interlock’s Lifetime Aluminum Roofing System is engineered to provide long-term durability, energy efficiency, and peace of mind in Milk River.

How does a metal roof handle Milk River's 113 cm of annual snow?

Aluminum panels shed snow efficiently due to their smooth, hard surface and four-way interlocking design that prevents water penetration beneath panels. Milk River's average 113 cm snow load poses no structural risk with Interlock—the panels weigh only 0.41 lb/sq ft (Slate profile), so your existing framing carries the snow weight safely without reinforcement. The tight seams also eliminate ice dam formation points where snow refreezes at the eaves, reducing winter drainage problems common in colder climates receiving significant precipitation.

Will freeze-thaw cycles in Milk River damage an aluminum metal roof?

No. Aluminum expands and contracts with temperature swings, but its 3105-H24 alloy is engineered to handle repeated cycling without cracking or brittleness. Milk River experiences approximately 96 freeze-thaw days annually—a genuine test for roofing—yet aluminum's oxide layer self-heals when micro-scratches occur, protecting against the corrosion that weakens other materials. The Alunar 70% PVDF fluorocarbon coating (warranted 30 years) further shields panels through these seasonal transitions, unlike asphalt shingles that harden and crack under the same temperature fluctuations.

Can an Interlock metal roof withstand Milk River's winter gusts?

Yes. Milk River's typical gust speeds reach 112 km/h, and Interlock panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph (193 km/h) when installed to specification. The four-way interlocking seam design locks each panel into its neighbors, distributing wind load across the entire roof system rather than allowing panels to lift or separate. This mechanical redundancy, combined with proper fastening, means your roof maintains its integrity during the sustained gusts that regularly occur in Southern Alberta's winter season.

What hail protection does a metal roof offer, and might my insurance company notice?

Interlock achieves UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating—the highest available—and the warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. This rating demonstrates non-negotiable durability in hail-prone regions. Some insurers offer premium discounts for Class 4-rated roofing because the material outlasts asphalt shingles typically replaced after hail damage. While your insurer sets discount policy, the non-combustible aluminum construction and documented impact resistance make Interlock an attractive risk profile. Consult your agent about potential savings when you upgrade.

Why is aluminum roofing better than steel in a climate with freeze-thaw cycling and snowmelt?

Aluminum cannot rust because it contains no iron; rust requires iron oxidation. Instead, aluminum develops a thin, transparent oxide layer that actually protects the metal beneath. When scratched, this oxide layer self-heals naturally over time. Milk River receives about 262 mm of annual rainfall and seasonal snow melt, exposing your roof to persistent moisture—conditions that trigger rusting in steel roofing within years. Aluminum's immunity to corrosion is why Interlock panels install on Antarctic research stations and coastal homes in salt-air environments; the material simply does not degrade from water exposure.

Does a metal roof stay cooler in summer and reduce air conditioning costs?

Metal roofs with reflective coatings do reduce cooling loads. Interlock's energy-efficient colors achieve initial solar reflectance up to 0.55 and thermal emissivity of 0.84, meaning they reflect rather than absorb the heat that asphalt shingles trap. Milk River receives approximately 3406 annual sunshine hours, so during warmer months, this reflectance meaningfully lowers roof surface temperature. While Milk River's 6.1°C mean annual temperature limits cooling demand, the reflective benefit compounds over decades and helps maintain interior comfort during summer peaks without overworking your HVAC system.

Is a metal roof worth the upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles over the long term?

Yes, when measured over the roof's full lifecycle. Asphalt shingles typically last 15-25 years and require replacement, generating landfill waste and reinstallation labor costs. Interlock's Guardian Warranty is a lifetime limited, non-prorated material warranty for the original owner—covering rusting, rotting, splitting, cracking, and curling—and remains valid (50-year term) when transferred to the next owner. Over 50 years, one metal roof replacement cycle versus two or three asphalt replacements eliminates thousands in labor, disposal, and material costs. The initial investment pays dividends as your final roof.

How much maintenance does a metal roof need compared to asphalt or wood shake?

Interlock requires minimal maintenance—occasional gutter cleaning and debris removal, but no re-coating, re-sealing, or moss treatment. Asphalt shingles need periodic inspections for granule loss and damage, especially after Milk River's 113 cm of annual snow and 112 km/h gusts. Wood shake roofs require regular treatment against rot and fungus in freeze-thaw climates with 262 mm of rain. Concrete tile demands re-grouting and is prone to crack. Aluminum's Alunar coating (warranted 30 years against chalking and fading per ASTM D4214/D2244) remains stable without intervention, and CALGreen-verified ratings confirm its low-maintenance profile across decades.

What fire protection does Interlock metal roofing offer?

Aluminum is non-combustible and achieves Class A fire classification—the highest rating available. Non-combustible materials do not ignite, burn, or contribute fuel to fire spread, a critical safety advantage over asphalt shingles (Class C) or wood shake (no rating). While Milk River's climate favors lower wildfire risk than Southern Alberta's prairie regions, Class A certification demonstrates that your roof will not accelerate fire spread, protecting your home and surrounding properties. This rating is verified by ICC-ES evaluation ESR-1790 (reissued 2025 for IBC/IRC compliance) and is recognized across Canada for insurance and building authority purposes.

Who installs Interlock metal roofing in Milk River, and how long have they served the area?

Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. has served the Milk River region since 1999, bringing 25+ years of installation experience to Southern Alberta's freeze-thaw, wind, and snow conditions. They understand local building codes, weather patterns, and contractor relationships that ensure your roof is installed to specification and warrants the full 120 mph wind resistance and hail protection Interlock offers. Local installation also means faster response times for any questions during your project and continuity of service records that support warranty claims and future resale documentation.
