Calgary, Alberta Roof Review |

Hello Brad, Sarah and I are very pleased with our new Interlock roof. The fit and finish are excellent, just like the other Interlock roofs that we have seen recently in Valley Ridge. After the disappointing experience and maintenance headaches with our old pine shake roof, we are happy to have the roofing issue resolved for our home once and for all. Although the Interlock roof cost more than the asphalt shingle alternative, we feel that the up-front cost is offset by the future savings in avoiding another roof replacement project within 20 years. We really like the appearance of our new black shale (aluminum) roof. All things considered, we feel we received good value for our investment. As a bridge engineer over the past 23 years, I have a background in monitoring many construction projects with contractors across Canada and the US. It is always a pleasure when projects go smoothly with no surprises and no extra costs. The installation of our roof certainly went smoothly with no cost surprises. The first crew had our old pine shake roof off, cleaned up and removed from site within 2 days. They also cleaned out all of the rain gutters (which I have been procrastinating for some time). The second crew, headed by Vladimir, arrived several days later and had the new roof installed within 5 days. The total project schedule was 11 days from start to finish. Vladimir paid great attention to detail and threw in some extra touches that really made a difference: touch-up painting some high level trim and installing some addition aluminum flashing to stop birds from nesting below one problem gable. We have no trouble recommending the Interlock roof to our neighbors. Stan Reimer, P.Eng.
