It's a significant investment

5/5

We recently had a positive experience with our new roof install just before the awful weather hit – the hard working installation team finished the job in challenging conditions with diligence, good attention to detail, courtesy, and daily job site clean up. It’s a significant investment and the company worked with us to resolve a couple of issues that did come up along the way, promptly and reasonably. Would recommend both the product and the team.

Extra mile

5/5

Usually, I don’t have the time to write testimonials or reviews of any sort, but in this particular instance, I felt that I need to do so.

We all know how stressful and expensive home renovation projects can be. Roofing replacement is one of the most important and also one of the most expensive.

As the owner of quite a large apartment building in the established Glebe neighbourhood in Ottawa, my project posed many challenges – proximity to adjacent buildings, a short timeframe and a very high degree of difficulty.

Property management allowed me to surround myself with some exceptional trades, but “Interlock Roofing Systems” were unknown to me, just liked the product.

The whole experience ended up being outstanding from the moment I met Dave Brown, the salesperson, Sheldon and Tony in the Service department.
Professional, efficient, and responsive, but I must say that the crew that did the installation blew me away.
Rick, Sandra, Al, James and Sheldon were among the nicest groups of people I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with in my property management and ownership experience.

With their professional approach and respectful and knowledgeable conduct, Rick and the crew made me feel that I was getting outstanding work done by friends.

Clean, fast, and efficient… worked in the pouring rain, wind, and freezing temperatures and finished a massive job in a week. We all know when someone goes that “extra mile,” and that’s what I end up getting from Rick and the guys.

The result – OUTSTANDING.

Thank you.

Decision in going with an aluminum roof

5/5

Loving the roof. Sorry, it had to take a lot of your emails, but I’m really happy it is done.

John (never got his last name) from Cornwall was great and had a great crew with him. They did an amazing job and was a pleasure to see their work on my house.

Thank Dave Brown for me too, both his visits were pleasant and fun. I learned a lot from him, and we had great conversations, and without him, I would not have gotten my roof done.

And also a thank you to you too. That long first conversation I had with you at the home show went a long way in my decision in going with an aluminum roof and with your company.

Thanks, and I hope I never have to think about my roof again.

Cheers,

Best value available

5/5

We looked at different alternatives to re-roof our house, and we chose the Interlock roofing system because it represented the best value available. Barry Brinson answered all our questions when we met him on the Saturday afternoon of a long weekend.

Shortly after the materials were delivered, John Caverley arrived with his crew and promptly proceeded to install the roof. He and his crew were thoroughly professional, and their use of safety equipment was reassuring. The team was well-integrated; they showed that they knew what they were doing, and all proceeded without a hitch. They worked tirelessly and were done in one day.

When they left, there were no nails, scrap or cigarette butts behind, only a brand-new roof that was the envy of the neighbourhood. After a few weeks, we can say that the roof is quiet, even with heavy rain, and the upstairs rooms are cooler on a hot day than was the case in the past.

We would not hesitate to recommend an Interlock roof for its value and looks. Barry and John went out of their way to make it all happen to our complete satisfaction.

Sincerely,
Nina and Régent G.

Orleans Metal Roofing Review | March 21, 2025

Nestled in the vibrant community of Orléans, Ontario, a suburb of Ottawa, lies Oaklawn Crescent—a street that now boasts a stunning transformation. One of our valued clients, Veronique, recently shared her experience after upgrading her home with our Black Interlock Slate Shingle Metal Roofing System. In her words:

Orléans, located approximately 16 kilometers east of downtown Ottawa, is a community rich in history and culture. Situated along the Ottawa River, it offers residents a blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. The area is known for its lush green spaces, including the picturesque Petrie Island Park—a local favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. 

By choosing the Black Interlock Slate Shingle Metal Roofing System, Veronique has not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of her home but also invested in a roof that stands up to the diverse Canadian weather conditions. Our metal roofs are designed to be energy-efficient, durable, and capable of withstanding high winds, thanks to their innovative 4-way interlocking design. Moreover, they are solar compatible, offering homeowners the option to incorporate sustainable energy solutions seamlessly.

Orléans is a community that values quality and longevity, much like the roofing solutions we provide. With a lifetime warranty, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind, knowing they won’t need to re-roof again. The blend of modern design with traditional durability makes our roofing system a perfect fit for homes in this vibrant community. 

We are thrilled to have been part of Veronique’s home improvement journey and look forward to continuing to serve the residents of Orléans with the same professionalism and friendliness that she experienced.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Orléans, Ontario Homeowners

What is the best roofing system for Orléans’ harsh winters?

Orléans sees heavy snowfalls, ice storms, and deep freezes. Most roofs suffer under the weight—Interlock Metal Roofing sheds snow naturally thanks to its smooth profile and interlocking panels, helping prevent ice dams, water infiltration, and structural stress.

Not with Interlock. Our system uses heavy-gauge aluminum, which doesn’t rust—ever. Unlike steel, which can corrode over time (especially near the Ottawa River), aluminum stays strong through Orléans’ humid summers and moisture-heavy seasons.

While asphalt shingles often need replacement every 10–15 years, Interlock Metal Roofing comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty. That’s 50+ years of peace of mind, even with Orléans’ freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal storms.

Absolutely. The 4-way interlocking design was engineered to resist high wind uplift, making it ideal for open suburban neighbourhoods and areas near the Ottawa River where wind exposure can be significant.

Yes. Interlock roofs are Cool Roof Rating Council rated and reflect solar radiation, keeping your home cooler in the summer and reducing the load on your AC—especially useful during Orléans’ increasingly hot July and August months.

Interlock offers five distinct profiles—Slate, Shake, Tile, Cedar Shingle, and Standing Seam—plus a wide range of colours (like the popular Musket Grey and Black) that blend beautifully with the architectural styles seen in Orléans’ neighbourhoods like Chapel Hill, Fallingbrook, and Avalon.

Yes! If you’re planning on going green, Interlock makes it easy. Our roofs are solar-ready, and brackets can be installed without compromising your warranty or roof integrity—perfect for eco-conscious homeowners in Orléans.

In Orléans, asphalt shingles can crack, curl, and deteriorate quickly due to our extreme temperature shifts. Rubber roofing can shrink and fade. Interlock resists all of that. No warping. No leaks. No replacements every decade.

Absolutely. A metal roof instantly adds curb appeal, increases home value, and is a strong selling point in a competitive real estate market like Orléans. Buyers love the idea of never having to re-roof again.

Yes. Interlock Metal Roofing has local sales reps and certified installation teams who live and work in the Ottawa–Orléans area. You’re not hiring a fly-by-night crew—you’re working with a company that’s been trusted across Ontario for decades.

In Orléans, Ontario, the best roofing system isn’t just about durability—it’s about weather resilience, energy efficiency, and long-term value. Interlock Metal Roofing delivers on all of that and more—with a style that fits your neighbourhood and a warranty that outlasts the rest.

Thanks for giving us the best looking roof in the neighbourhood

5/5

To whom it may concern;

In 2003 we had 25-year asphalt shingles installed on our roof. Recently we noted that our roofing shingles were beginning to curl and deteriorate on the corners and edges and presented an overall unpleasant sight from the curb. Although there was no leakage, we decided that at the rate of current deterioration, we might be lucky to get another 1-2 years before leaking occurred.

The decision we faced was:

Wait another year or so and replace the roof once it starts leaking and tolerate the increasingly unsightly view from the curb;
Deal with the original installer (who is out of business) and use the manufacturer’s 50% asphalt shingle warranty, which just covers 50% of the cost of replacing the faulty shingles (not the whole roof) and which we are not even sure would cover the labour costs (which we doubt); or swallow our losses and shop for a new, longer-lasting metal roof.

After a few weeks of researching, we chose Interlock Industries because they were not only a 100% Canadian company but also because they manufactured and installed their own roofing systems. Also, we noted that they had been in business for over 25 years and had every appearance of remaining in business for some time into the future. Long enough, we felt, to cover their 50-year lifetime roofing warranty. Would it cost more than a new asphalt shingle roof? Absolutely, but in our opinion, the increased cost seemed to more than offset the obvious benefits and life expectancy of an aluminum metal roof.

Therefore, over the period of 08 to 14 September 2014, we had the Interlock aluminum roof installed on our home. The installation took a little longer than anticipated due to the weather, over which, of course, the workers had absolutely no control. We watched the installation closely and were very impressed, not only with the care that was taken by the installers but also with the way they constantly kept us informed as to what they were doing. Needless to say the installers were polite and very professional and when they departed, they made sure that our lawn and flower beds were cleaned up and looked the same as before work had commenced. As for the finished product – in our opinion our roof is the best looking roof in our neighbourhood.

We did not write this note immediately after the installation was completed but waited to find out how the roof would fare under different weather conditions. There were a few items which were pointed out to us while we were doing our research. We had heard that a metal roof would add considerably more weight to the roof, that there was increased noise when it rained, that the metal made the temperature inside the house rise a few degrees over the normal and, finally, that the colours and textures of metal roofs were very limited.

We can now discount all of these allegations. We did not notice any more noise from rain than when we had asphalt shingles, nor did we notice any change in the house’s interior temperature. As for the increased weight and selection of colours and textures, we found that the choices were just as numerous as for asphalt shingles and, of course, the weight on the roof was increased, but because the metal is aluminum, the additional weight would be less than the worst winter snowfall and, therefore, insignificant since snow should no longer collect on the roof but slide off the metal surface.

One of the final aspects we found with the installation of the Interlock aluminum roof was that it was installed over the existing asphalt shingles, which made the installation more environmentally friendly by reducing the amount of waste being trucked to a landfill. The way the roof was installed was by covering the existing shingles with a waterproof membrane and then nailing the Interlock aluminum roof over the existing shingles, which might also explain why there were no noticeable increases in rain noise nor inside temperatures.

Are we pleased with our new Interlock aluminum roof? Barry Brinson promised us a roof that would be to our complete satisfaction – and he delivered in spades. Thanks for giving us the best-looking roof in the neighbourhood.

Sincerely,
Robert & Andrée F.

Very pleased with their work and our new roof

5/5

Good morning Dave,

As you probably know, Moses and Fred finished our installation on Sunday. We are very pleased with their work and our new roof.

Moses mentioned that someone from Interlock would be stopping by to inspect their work this morning.

Could that person also pick up the Interlock lawn sign? It will either be on the lawn or by the side garage door.

Moses said this sign was for us to keep, but we will not have any use for it, while you can recycle it for another project.

Thanks

Interlock roofing has set a new benchmark for quality and superiority that cannot be matched in the roofing industry

5/5

Barry,

We want you to know how satisfied we are with our new Interlock roof. It is by far the best in appearance, warranty, workmanship and quality, bar none. The initial meeting with you (Barry Brinson) was excellent plus very informative to all our concerns.

Kudos and recognition to the work crew of John C. Sr. + Jr., Tom G., Kelly G. and Mike B. for doing a professional job from start to finish., i.e. on time, competent, and accessible to all our questions, plus an excellent clean-up.

In conclusion, in our opinion, Interlock roofing has set a new benchmark for quality and superiority that cannot be matched in the roofing industry.

Sincerely,

Interlock Metal Roofing installed a new roof on my cottage which is water access only

5/5

Interlock Metal Roofing installed a new roof on my cottage which is water access only. I’ve been in construction for over 45 years and the crew (Brian and Maurice) were two of the nicest, hardest working people I’ve ever met. They did a terrific job of installation, explained the unique benefits of the roofing system, worked long hard hours in the heat and never complained once. When my porch roof is ready for new shingles, I will request these two again and I will definitely use Interlock Metal Roofing again. Fantastic company.
