Replacing our old cedar shingle roof with Interlock Standing Seam

5/5

Now that you have completed the job of replacing our old cedar shingle roof with an Interlock Standing Seam aluminum roof, Jayne and I are writing to express our thanks for the work that you have done.

At all times throughout the project, we have been impressed by your professionalism, work ethic and attention to detail. We would also like to thank you for taking efforts to minimize the disruption caused by us by the work and for carrying out several extra jobs (including the replacement of light bulbs in hard to reach lights under the eaves of our house and several sections of corroded downpipe) willingly and efficiently.

We are pleased to have had you in charge of the work on our roof and would have no hesitation in strongly recommending you and your team to anyone else wishing to install a new roof.

Yours Sincerely,
David Stokes

Disciplined, Competent, Professional

In Lunenburg, Nova Scotia—a town where the past and present sail together—Fred’s home is a unique blend of heritage and innovation. Located along the picturesque shores of Lunenburg Harbour, his residence offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic, a constant reminder of the town’s deep maritime roots.

Established in 1753, Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its well-preserved colonial architecture and storied shipbuilding legacy. It’s the birthplace of the famed Bluenose schooner, a symbol of Nova Scotia’s seafaring prowess. Strolling through its vibrant streets, one can’t help but feel the echoes of sailors and artisans who once animated this coastal gem.

Fred’s choice to install the Deep Charcoal Interlock Slate Shingle Metal Roofing System aligns seamlessly with Lunenburg’s ethos—honouring tradition while embracing innovation. This roofing solution, with its lifetime warranty, is a testament to its durability against the coastal elements. Its 4-way interlocking design ensures energy efficiency and high wind resistance, making it ideal for the Atlantic climate. Moreover, its compatibility with solar panels underscores a commitment to sustainable living.

Reflecting on his experience, Fred shares:

 

In a town where every building tells a story, Fred’s home now narrates one of resilience, quality, and a vision for the future.

Top 10 Roofing FAQs for Lunenburg, Nova Scotia Homeowners

What’s the best roofing system for Lunenburg’s coastal climate?

Living in Lunenburg means dealing with salty ocean air, intense winds, fog, heavy snow, and the occasional hurricane. A roof here needs to do more than just look good—it needs to resist corrosion, shed snow, and stay put in strong winds. That’s where Interlock Aluminum Roofing shines. It’s made for coastal environments, unlike steel roofing, which can rust, or asphalt shingles, which wear down quickly under salty conditions.
Asphalt shingles are inexpensive up front but don’t last long near the sea. They’re prone to curling, cracking, algae, and wind damage, especially in coastal towns like Lunenburg. Interlock’s aluminum system comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, is wind-resistant, and doesn’t absorb moisture—making it a far better long-term investment.

No. Aluminum doesn’t rust, which is crucial in Lunenburg’s salt-rich air. Steel roofing systems—even galvanized or coated—can corrode over time. Interlock roofs are made from marine-grade aluminum and finished with a protective Alunar Coating designed specifically for longevity in Atlantic Canada’s coastal conditions.

Composite roofing mimics the look of slate but is still prone to UV fading, cracking, and shorter lifespans in harsh climates. Interlock’s Slate Shingle profile delivers the same look with better durability and resistance to wind, salt, and snow. Plus, it’s lighter and easier to maintain.
Lunenburg has many historic homes where natural slate fits the style—but it’s very heavy, expensive, and can crack under freeze-thaw cycles common in Nova Scotia. Interlock Slate Shingles offer a lightweight, durable alternative that honors the traditional look without the structural strain or risk of breakage.
Rubber shingles or membranes (like EPDM) are usually reserved for flat or low-slope roofs. In Lunenburg, most homes have pitched roofs, and rubber materials aren’t as attractive or durable for residential use. They can also degrade under UV exposure. Interlock provides architectural style with 50+ years of performance.
Yes. The 4-way interlocking design ensures that each panel connects tightly on all sides, making it one of the most wind-resistant roofing systems available. It’s tested and trusted in high-wind areas—including along the Atlantic coast—where Nor’easters and hurricanes can roll in without warning.

Absolutely. Interlock roofs are coated with heat-reflective Alunar finishes that help reduce heat absorption in the summer while also providing excellent insulation support in winter. That means lower heating and cooling bills year-round, even in Lunenburg’s changing seasons.

Yes. Interlock offers profiles that mimic traditional slate, cedar shake, and tile, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for strength. Homes in Lunenburg’s historic district can benefit from the classic look of slate or shake, with none of the constant maintenance or structural reinforcement needed by heavier materials.

Because it’s made to last, built for salt air, wind, and snow, and it never needs to be replaced. While asphalt and other materials may seem cheaper upfront, they require re-roofing every 10–20 years. Interlock comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, is solar panel–compatible, and keeps its curb appeal for decades. That’s why more and more homeowners in Lunenburg are choosing Interlock—the last roof they’ll ever need.
Lunenburg’s beauty comes with some roofing challenges: ocean air, snow loads, wind, and historic standards. Interlock Metal Roofing is the answer. It’s rust-proof, wind-tough, energy-efficient, and designed to last for life—all while complementing the town’s unique coastal charm.

Looking for a product without exposed fasteners and one that could handle the high winds

5/5

We own a property close to salt water, so we were looking for a product without exposed fasteners and one that could handle the high winds. We had a couple of companies bid on the job and decided to go with Maritime Permanent Roofing.

The estimator (Greg) was very personable and explained the entire process from start to finish. The installers were very professional and hard-working. We are pleased with their job and happy with the look of the new roof—lots of compliments from family and friends.

Stunning roof in three days that would last our lifetime

5/5

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

We are delighted with our new metal roof. We frequently receive compliments about how well it suits the style of our house. We were very impressed with every aspect of the contract, from the first contact with the salesperson to the completion, clean-up of the site and quality control follow-up.

The salesperson was very fair in the negotiations over price, the work crew was outstanding, and we had a stunning roof in three days that would last our lifetime. I Totally recommend these people – you won’t be disappointed.

We needed new roofing after only 13 years

5/5
We needed new roofing after only 13 years. Shingles were worn, and lots of small leaks after a big rain. Although the metal roofing was twice the cost of regular shingles, we decided to go the permanent route. Now when it rains we have no worries and this winter snow will not be an issue either. The 50-year warranty ensures that in 15 years or so, we will not have to re-roof. John the marketing consultant was great to work with, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

The roof looks great and enhances the appearance of the house

5/5

To Whom It May Concern:

We met Ted Rector at the Truro Home Show in 2009.  We were in the market for a new roof.  On our other homes, we had installed metal roofs and liked the thought of a final roof.  Only we discovered that over the years the roofs faded or needed repainting.  At our age, we wanted something that would last and be worry-free.  After talking with Ted, we readily made an appointment with him to evaluate our situation.  He willing spent an evening with us is our Debert home discussing the pros and cons of different roof materials.  There was no rush to sign on the “dotted line”.  After careful consideration, the Interlock Roof was a go.

The roof looks great and enhances the appearance of the house.  The workmanship is good and reliable.

We know the house must be looking great because of the number of people stopping and copying the telephone number from the sign out front.  Without hesitation, we have recommended Ted Rector and Maritime Permanent Roofing to inquirers and will continue to do so.

 

Sincerely,

More environmentally friendly than an asphalt roof

5/5

After careful consideration of the different roofing materials and styles available; we were convinced that the aluminum roof system offered by Interlock Metal Roofing (Alberta) Ltd. (hereafter referred to as “Interlock”) was the best choice for us.

Four years ago we moved into a 30-year-old home, which has been in the family since it was built.  We knew that the original cedar shakes would need replacing; they had served the homes’ inhabitants well but were nearing the end of their ‘life expectancy’.  We are a young family and so price was an important factor; however, we also plan on remaining in this house for many years to come.  We decided that the investment in a “lifetime roof” was worth it for us, and we also appreciated the fact that it was more environmentally friendly than an asphalt roof.

Our roof was installed over the course of ten days, only delayed a few days by two major snowstorms.  The installation crew, led by James, was wonderful.  They worked long and hard each day, they were considerate, conscientious, and personable; I would recommend James to anyone interested in an Interlock roof.

Likewise, we appreciated your willingness, Joe, to work with us throughout the process.  Your consideration of our queries and concerns was noted and valued.

We are the first homeowners, on our bay of ten homes, to re-roof from the original shakes; the black slate design looks terrific…we will undoubtedly be fielding queries about your product and company!

With thanks,

Tired of curling and cracking old duroid roof shingles

5/5

To Whom It May Concern::

After considering many different roof styles and systems, I chose Interlock because I was tired of curling and cracking old duroid roof shingles. My problem was unique, in that, I was surrounded by large fir trees, which shed unlimited needles on my roof, not to mention moss problems. This product answered my concerns. Because of the smooth Teflon surface nothing sticks to it and I’m not concerned about the moss.

The true test of a good roof is the installer. Antonio was our roofer, I found him to be very professional and considerate of our time. He removed the old chimney and reinforced the hold in the roof like a professional contractor and did not compromise in any way.

The look of the roof and the quality of workmanship is what impressed me most.

Now I get all sorts of comments on my roof!

Thanks again, Interlock Roofing and Antonio!!!!!

Happy Customer,

We were very pleased with the professionalism of Rod and Richard Clark, our roofing crew.

Rod could foresee possible problems, articulate and resolve them much to our delight; i.e. the possible need for snow guards regarding climate change. They made an extra effort with the detail work. Rod is very knowledgeable, hard working and polite.

We highly recommend them.

Installing my new aluminum shake roof

5/5

I am writing this letter to commend your crew on the great work that they have done installing my new aluminum shake roof. Brett Gellibrand and his apprentice Joe Loch have worked diligently in spite of a lot of adverse weather throughout this week. They have managed to complete the work in good time, even though frequent rain interrupted many plans.

Care was always taken to keep things covered and clean-up was precise each day. Brett seems skilled in all aspects of the installation, and he was able to answer any questions that I had.

I am confident that I made a good choice in choosing the Interlock Roofing product and I am pleased with your crew’s handling of the work. Both Brett and Joe are to be commended for a job well done.

Your truly,
